    Hi Ladies (and Gents, if you're out there) - 

    Miss Duckling and I would love to organize another WB Meet-up the first week of August. Since we are both getting dangerously close to our wedding dates, and that means our weekends are PACKED, we were hoping to do it during the week again. I know a lot of you couldn't make it down as far South last time so we'd like to have it more North around 7pm so we all have time to make there after work.

    What day works best for you? Tuesday 8/4 or Wednesday 8/5?
    Where should we meet? Block @ Orange? Irvine Spectrum? Somewhere better?

    XOXO,
    Miss Frenchie

    So excited!!  Irvine Spectrum might be good since it is easy to get there from the 4/405.

    I vote the Block but either one.  But my friend and I work until 6pm, any chance of doing one later around 6 or 7 so we can make it?  Weve wanted to go before but it was always when we were working.  If its later count us in!

    I am so excited that OC Bees are getting together.  I was so jealous when I saw the Bees from other cities doing it.  I am in.  I think I will be bringing a friend too.  This is open to members right? I don't have to be an actual bee, right?

    @ContraryMary: It would show up as a post by French Bulldog or myself(duckling) on the homepage of Weddingbee.  We will also be sure to post updates on this thread as well.  I'm so excited that a bunch of you will be able to come!  It's going to be so fun!

    Block at Orange is better for me (I would possibly be pretty late if it was in Irvine)... I would also probably bring a guest with me but for sure it will be me.  I know if it is at the Block a great place that does take reservations is Cafe TuTu Tango... yummy sangria and tapas! :)  I am sooooo excited to meet some fellow bees like Frenchie & Duckling... oh and if Mrs Meatball comes too would be awesome! Can't wait to hear the final date and location... either day works for me!

    I just realized I am having surgery on the 5th and though Im sure Id be able to make it since its later in the evening I doubt my husband will let me!  The 4th definitely works best for me, Id love to be there and meet everyone!

    I'd love to meet you guys but the SoCal WB office is in Pasadena and that would take forever :(

    Maybe we can do a LA/OC meetup on a Saturday.

    Hmm so many choices!  What are you all thinking?

    Off the top of my head there is: Yardhouse, Cheesecake Factory, CPK, PF Changs, Corner Bakery...

    Mmmm they all sound so good.  Im all about CPK or PF Changs.  They also have Red Robin which might be nice on peoples wallet :)

    I hope I can make it! I won't be sure until the week of. I'll be coming from LA though so I prefer the Block, but either is fine.

    So I took the liberty of heading on over to the Irvine Spectrum restaurant guide... here's all of the options:

    -CPK

    -Corner Bakery

    -Cheesecake Factory

    -Javiers

    -PF Changs

    -Red Robin

    -Ruby's

    -Yardhouse

    ...everything else seemed like to much of a "quick" meal.  So that looks like our best options.

     I think our best bet would be a place that takes reservations possibly (since it looks like it may be a pretty big group possibly?)... I think PF Changs and Red Robin do for sure, Cheesecake Factory's vary but I don't think they usually do.  CPK I'm not too sure.  I'm up for anything, I do agree though some of these would be easier on the wallet then others.

    Reservations are probably a good idea!

    Javiers is yummy, but it's usually really loud in there and it's hard to hear anyone not sitting next to you. 

    I think CPK, Red Robin and Yardhouse are good options.

    Oh and I left off Corner Bakery in that list too.  But I'm very open to anything so we don't have to go off of my list.  :)
