Mrs. Lemon, Los Angeles/Monterey
Age and Occupation in 06: 26, Graduate Student (Public Policy)
Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Environmental Consultant
Engagement Date: April 7, 2006
Wedding Date: July 7, 2007
Venue: Rosary Chapel & Monterey Marriott, Monterey, CA
About Me: My FI and I met online, but we like to tell people that we met at a "cookie shop" which is the technical location of our first encounter. He proposed exactly 1 year, 1 month and 6 days after our first date (it's the only part of his proposal speech that I remember), and we're planning long-distance from Los Angeles for a July wedding in my hometown of Monterey, CA. I have a passion for all things "cool, cute and quirky" and I enjoy video games, reading blogs (WeddingBee, trashy celeb, consumer & political) and crafting in my spare time, if I have any!
VIP Guest List
April 18th, 2007 @ 11:45 am by Mrs. Lemon
All of my envelopes are addressed and ready to go… even those to the “VIP” Guests. Sure, they won’t be coming to the wedding (although I do have the in’s with Mickey & Minnie) and they will be getting a pretty color copy of the invite instead of the real thing… but I’ve heard they send lovely momentos in their place. In case you’d like to invite some VIPs to your wedding, here are just a few of the addresses I have collected:
Mickey and Minnie Mouse
The Walt Disney Company
500 South Buena Vista Street
Burbank, California 91521
[for CA residents]
The Governor & Mrs. Arnold Schwartzenegger
State Capitol Building
Sacramento, California 95814
The President & Mrs. George Bush
The White House
Greetings Office Room 39
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, District of Columbia, 20500

00210 Citta del Vaticano, Italia
[for Brits — you won’t get anything back unless you are a British citizen]

Queen Elizabeth II
Buckingham Palace
London, England SW1A 1AA
Any names/addresses you’d like to add to the list??

I have a friend who is a huge Mickey fan. Too bad we didn’t know about this when she got married, 5 years ago. Too bad I didn’t know 8 months ago since I do love Disney, although not necessarily a Mickey fan. A very fun post.
I didn’t know about Mickey and Minnie, that’s good to know. I was just sending one to the President and the Pope. What do Mickey normally send and do you think we could invite Dopey too? (I used to say that I would marry Dopey after all, what girl doesn’t want a dwarf with a jewelry mine and who can blow bubbles out of their ears?)
How cute!!! Awww, anyone know if they’ll do it even if the weddign date has passed? hahaha. Gotta get rid of some extra invites!! 
We got a very nice response from Pres & Mrs Bush — by White House staff, I’m sure. Stamped signatures. Still nice for the scrapbook.
Hmmm… Maybe the Clintons and the Obamas?
I have the addresses for Bill Gates and Tiger Woods (FH is a huge golf fan) somewhere…
Sorry if this is a dumb question…I’ve just never heard of this before. Do many of you actually send invites to the president, pope, and other famous names?
Kara-yep! Some send to Oprah, too. I think 99.9% of the time it’s just to get a greetings card for display at the wedding or for a keepsake for the scrapbook–no one really expects the president to show at their wedding. Although I guess there’s always the chance…
How do you get the addresses for these people? If anyone has the address for Tiger Woods, Dale Earhnardt Jr or Tony Stewart I would love it. (FH is huge golf fan and Nascar)
Here is good website!!! I will introduce it to my friends… Please, introduce my site to your friends 
You spelled “Schwartzenegger” wrong. From the Governor’s web site:
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

@Stacy:
I found this on the Governor’s website as well:
How do I invite the Governor to an event?
You can invite Governor Schwarzenegger to an event by submitting a formal request in writing, with at least 30 days advance notice, to the Governor’s scheduling office at:
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
ATTN: Scheduling Office
State Capitol
Sacramento, CA 95814
or by fax at 916-558-3160. (new number)
Please be sure to include the date, time and location of the event. Also include information pertaining to the nature of the event and the requested role of the Governor at the event.
