    Yippee!  Okay ladies, we need a plan.  Location suggestions?  And a few dates that work well for the crowd?  I'm actually pretty open on July and August weekend days...and would suggest a place outside of the city proper (Main Line or SJ) for parking ease.

    I'm in too (even though  I don't post as much as some!)  July 12 is my bridal shower but most other days in July/Aug work for me.

    June and early July work best for me because the bar exam is the end of July and I know that I will be a huge ball of stress by the middle of July and I don't want to inflict anyone but FI and law school friends with the mess that will be angiepangie.  I agree with the idea to head out to the Main Line, maybe The Woodern Iron in Wayne (http://www.woodeniron.com/).  I've been there with groups of girlfriends in the past and had a great time at their monthly wine tasting!!

    Hey Magpie,

    We'll totally try to put something together! Early July seems to sound pretty good.

    I'd love to come!  But being car-less, would it be possible to pick somewhere close to public transit?  Or I could always carshare it.

    12's a no-go for me -- it's Mama MagPie's b-day.  The 27th sounds good, though.  Any other location suggestions?  If anyone's up for SJ, I recommend Cork, Tortilla Press or the Pop Shop.  And is this a girls' gathering, or are FIs fair game as well?  :-)

    As much as I love MagPie's suggestions (they are all within 10 minutes of my house) Philly is really the halfway point for SJ and PA suburbs.  July 26th or 27th would work for me. 

    I don't even have to ask, I already know my fiance will not want to come to this with me.  :)

    I won't be able to do anything later than the 15th probably (bar exam is the 29th-31st) but I'll be with you ladies in spirit if I can't make it!

    Ooh, this sounds like so much fun!  If it falls on a weekend I don't have a wedding, I'll be there!  I agree, Center City Philadelphia will probably be the easiest for everyone.

    It might depend on how many people we have, since we'll have to make sure there is enough room!  Should we make it an outdoor picnic kind of thing or something else in a public place where space won't be an issue?  Kind of like the NYC potluck picnic that never was?

    We certainly can try for an outside gathering.  Washington Square or Rittenhouse?  And do we want to do a picnic/potluck "theme" as well?  My only concern is the weather, but we could always reschedule, I guess...

    what about creperie beau monde? we can definitely make reservations for a party of 6 or more for brunch or dinner time. the place looks cute and the crepes are to die for! :) tell me what yo think!

    http://www.creperie-beaumonde.com 

    if anyone else can find a place w/reservations in the south philly, center city area, feel free to share!

     Also, what's a good date for everyone, seems like most can make 27th? 12th?

    Their Sunday hours are 10am-10pm. I know that sunday brunch can be really busy at beau monde, so we may want to do it later in the afternoon (although if we have a reservation, maybe that wouldn't matter). either way, i'll be there - it's just 4 blocks from my apartment!

    Later in the afternoon sounds good to me.  Maybe...2 or 3 p.m.?  And how many on the reservation?  I'm counting me, silly, bell pepper, cupcake, codogg, jenniek, amdjvm, ATbride, msgirard, chill, ynichole, MissSauce and snowpea -- so, lucky 13?  Am I leaving anyone out?

    Maybe we should count how many there are and then add 3 or 4 just to be on the safe side, in case there are others who want in but haven't read this board?  We can always decrease the reservation later, but I always feel like adding more people as it gets closer creates more problems....

    2 or 3 pm sounds great.... I'll be there whenever it is!
