I love the inspiration board Tammy!! :lovestruc You have a lot of great ideas!! :thumbsup2 I have been wanting to create something like that myself... Do you know what site are you going to use?


Kristin, Thank you. It was sort of nice seeing all the different little pieces together. I have started one on bridalcanvas.com but when I searched there were multiple sites that these could be done on.... I will keep you posted.:goodvibes

Tammy,

I was so far behind. You've done so much. I love the Mickey's you made for the flowers (and on the vase). They are adorable! Your shoes looked great all blinged out! Oh my goodness, your ring is beautiful. I would die having to wait so long to wear it, but that is part of what makes it even more special. You are doing a great job on everything. Oh, the ears, wow, I'd never seen the white hat with the black ears, I really like that (like you said, it's different) but just for that too, it's really cute. The white are adorable also, no matter which you choose they'll be great.

Patty, Thanks for all the kind words. I have been enjoying all the planning/projects. I plan on using the black ears on the hat ( dh and DDs all prefer the black ears- I think they actually turned out better than the white ones) and adding some bling to the veil.

I still have a couple "special" projects in the works. Thanks for reading....:goodvibes

We have made some decisions about specific venues. we def want the wedding pavilion and most likely the whitehall room/patio. we want a DP party( I love Wishes, but Dh and DDs love Fantasmic-its runs a close second for me) called DFTW with preliminary info. We have pretty much narrowed resorts for our room block down after talking with family. time line for site visit/questions( though we know what venues we want ) and tentative date range for PS will work!!! ( I am excited about this- it means disney next year in Dec. for DDs birthday too!) though nothing is def. everything looks like it will fall in place!:goodvibes I am still working on a few special projects and will post in future..... thanks for reading.:goodvibes

I just came accross your PJ and all I have to say is WOW! I am so impressed! I love all the ideas and all the DIY projects you're working on. Hopefully my DFTW will be the month after your VR (and it looks like we want the same locations!).

P.S. Your VR is on my b-day!!!

Amanda, Thanks. I have really enjoyed my diy projects! It is so cool we are looking at same venues!

Good luck with your planning!:goodvibes

Another disbride inspired me today to look for something unique for our VR . We did a unity candle when we got married and we want to include our dds in a special part of the ceremony ( not a candle though) so I thought ok a sand ceremony, but that still didn't seem to fit. We do collect sand on all our various trips - we have bottles of sand mix from grand canyon to maine to florida , the outer banks and back again. The sand part fit ,but the idea of a container of sand was just missing something, so I did some looking online and found a neat site where you can get an hourglass and then add the different colored sands( one for each of us-DH, me and each DD) to the hourglass. The sample ceremony reads
"for centuries, the hourglass has been considered an enduring symbol of the passage of time, so its is appropriate that this hourglass represents the renewal of your vows and your lives as a family"
I liked that part! I am so excited! Some of the sets really aren't that much more than some of the sand ceremony sets I have seen( if you want to spend lots you can...) so I think we have found our fit. It won't matter if the sand gets mixed because it is suppose to....:goodvibes Sorry for the rambling, but I was excited to find this! Thanks for reading more to come....:goodvibes

Thanks ladies. I am excited. I know it is still basically a sand ceremony and sand in a container but I liked the idea of the "Time" part represented by the hourglass... now just deciding which one to order. I will keep you posted and try to get some pics to post too. Thanks for reading...:goodvibes

here is a pic of one of the hourglasses offered. this is actually the wedding day one. the next thing will be to decide on sand colors. If we use birthstones it would be two white, a red and a blue so I am not sure on that, may have to explore other color options....:goodvibes

Love the hourglass Idea! :goodvibes

Thank you ladies! Dh liked the idea too!(that was easy...) :goodvibes anyway, now we are deciding on sand colors- I think we have it figured out but will wait to make sure on that. I think I even figured out a song.... "candle on the water" just didn't seem to fit since we will be using sand(though I love the song) ,but will have to wait and talk to DFTW down the line. The song I have in mind is a disney song, so I figure we will be able to use it or at least part of it( its sort of long).... I plan on ordering the hourglass over the weekend once we decide on which style we want. more to come. Thanks for reading....:goodvibes

still working on a few new/special projects here and there. Worked on my dress yesterday some while turkey cooked. Did decide to ask niece to hand out our programs-a "greeter" , so made her a card with a poem inside like the fg cards will give it to her in the late spring. We aren't having a fg or rb. Have narrowed down who we plan on contacting for the officiant, but will do that in the future.:goodvibes

Laura, Thanks. I am very excited about the hourglass family sand ceremony idea. we did a unity candle at our wedding, so we wanted something different and to include the girls. It seemed to fit us.
I found a basket for our mickey programs at the dollar store. It is just a plain natural colored wicker basket, but I am going to dress it up. will post a picture when its complete. I figure for a dollar, I can't go wrong...Thanks for reading more to come.:goodvibes

Tammy you have done so much! I haven't read in a while and I just got caught up. First I love the hourglass! That is such a great idea and what a beautiful meaning! I would have loved to do a DP, that will be such a treat! And the Pavilion! It's a great choice, that's where mine is too!

How exciting going down for Dec 09! That will be a fun trip between planning the VR and DD's birthday. Can't wait to hear more! :goodvibes

Well I have been working on a few different projects. My latest is a basket for our programs.:goodvibes after looking several places, I found one I liked. It was a plain natural colored basket at the dollar store, so painted it white, added some shimmer paint , gold ribbon and shiny mickey heads . I plan on lining the inside with white cloth.

We are starting to consider reception venues, until recently I hadn't given that much thought. From the pictures we have seen, we liked the looks of the whitehall patio/room combo and have been leaning towards that site. after some additional research, and talking with disney another option for a group of our "estimated" size would be the Napa room. My biggest concern there is the menu since you have to use the CG menu. We have never eaten at the CG. I have looked at the menus but I am still unsure. We have several young children in our guest count too. I imagine the view is amazing from there. I have seen some pictures. Any insight would be appreciated.Thanks for reading.:goodvibes

Everything seems like it fits together and will flow nicely! Now its just waiting ....;) Lots of little projects in the works will fill in details later. have been experimenting with different hair styles without much success yet, have several concrete ideas about how I want it to look but getting it that way is a whole another issue.:confused3 Thanks for reading. more to come...

:goodvibes Laura, Thank you.:goodvibes

The venues we have selected are the Wedding Pavillion, the Napa Room of the CG and the Rue de France(french arm) for our DP. Our chosen dates and times have noted too! :woohoo: I can't say enough about how helpful and patient Pam has been with me. I have asked a million questions and she is always so quick and pleasant to answer each one. Now its just waiting..... I have so many ideas going through my head, esp. about the DP. The venues bring different parts of our vision together as well as tie in bits of our life together, i.e. we stayed at the contemporary on our hm etc.
we also have made a decision regarding an officiant for our ceremony and have made contact. sorry for rambling... thanks for reading. more to come!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday!
I had made a special cards one asking my niece ( she will be 10)to be our greeter- handing out our mickey fan programs and the other asking my nephew( he will be 11) to be an usher/greeter. We included the cards with their holiday gifts. Today before they opened their gifts , I told them there was a card inside they needed to open first with their parents. After reading the card, they both were excited and agreed! Since we won't be having many guests other than family it is really just to make it more special/exciting for them, but it was nice to see them excited! so we now have a greeter and an usher.
I got minnie bride ears and the disney wedding cd as gifts from DH!:goodvibes

Now that we will have an usher(nephew) and greeter(niece)... I have been designing a special t shirt for each of them. we always have family tshirts for our trips. My idea for the usher with help from the disign board (thanks a million!) is a picture of mickey as Indiana jones with his name and the words written like the movie title and WDW 2010. For my niece, our greeter she will hand out the programs ,I found a clipart design of ariel w/school of fish , added wavy word art with her name with "WDW 2010" I like them, I hope they do too! I will post pictures down the line when I make them. More to come... Thanks for reading:goodvibes

Hi there!:wave2:
I have been working on a few ideas for our DP party. I found some great bags on xmas clearance for .35 each for the DP and they were the right size too! I really liked them as soon as I saw them! they are an antique/brushed gold foil with gold cording handles and a chocolate brown satin ribbon( which dress them up- but may change /add some more color though. ). I have added a special label I made to go along with a quasi-theme idea I have in the works. I Actually made a to do list too! I have been picking up some odds and ends for our bear necessities bags. I also found silk rose petals to use. Have been playing with some hair style ideas again.... that is def an area that needs work. Thanks for reading more to come! :goodvibes

I have been busy working on a few different projects and ideas and they are starting to come together -creatively anyway. We did make final decision on officiant and that is in process. When I was putting the design/label on the bags for the DP, I realized I was short one bag( couldn't count that day, I guess) anyway I figured I would just find a similar looking one, but then I found one more of the same bag marked down in the stores xmas section.:goodvibes I do have some new things yet to post.

here are the T shirts I made one for niece who will hand out our programs, our greeter that reads "I have all the details. I'm the Greeter" with Ariel design and her name and one for my nephew(mickey as Indiana jones) who will be an usher ( the disign board helped with this one) that reads "follow my lead I'm the usher" with his name.

The bags I plan on using for the DP/favors are a gold foil and came with the brown chocolate ribbon, I added the red ribbon for more color along with the glitter star tag. I really loved the bags when I saw them and for 35 cents each I couldn't pass them up. I added the label...

Once again loving all your stuff! This sounds kinda funny but... how do you go about asking for help on the DISign board?... Do you just post "hey I'm looking for this..." or do you spend hours searching for something like what you want and then PM the person to see if they can personalize it for you? I've lurked around there a bit but guess I should some more as they seem to help many brides create some amazing personalized things.

well since we plan on using movies as our reception tables I have decided to carry that theme through out different parts of our VR: i.e. the VR ceremony, the reception and then the dp party etc. Alot of the projects I have been working on revolve around different movies for different events. I don't want to spill too much because I have some guests(my DDs) that stop in now and again and I want there to be some surprises;) .....
the DP favors include a light up spinning mickey(one per family) and then LED glow necklaces for everyone
This is the spinning mickey. it plays music too that can be turned on and off

OK looking at linens for receptionI used the link from DFTW that has been posted will have approx 5 tables including sweetheart table. Each table will have a movie theme with a coordinating linen color and then coordinating centerpiece, table card and escort cards for guests. the colors I am looking at for each table are:

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/junglebooklinen.jpg kelly green

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/potclinen.jpgred

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/sweethearttablelinen.jpg royal

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/cinderellalinen.jpg light blue

cake table will have petals not sure about linens for it yet. I am undecided if I will use solid overlays or just runners with coordinating napkins.I want bright fun colors, so I am hoping these will be bright in person. I also plan to have confetti sprinkled on tables thanks for reading. more to come:goodvibes

Tammy I agree with Cam the colors are going to be perfect. I like the idea of the runner in that color vs a whole table cloth because I think the colors would really pop against a white backdrop. JMO!

Laura, The runners were my first thought for exactly the same reason.... you know what they say about great minds ;) but I really want to see the linens before I decide at our PS- hey our PS(I hope) will be around your wedding Day!:goodvibes

Tammy that is a beautiful ring!!:goodvibes

The Mickey Spinner is such an awesome idea. Mind if I steal it? (And perhaps the picture, which is just cool!)

Meg, Thank you for the compliment:goodvibes and feel free to steal the mickey spinners. I think they are pretty cool and my DDs like them too!

Thanks for stopping by and reading more to come:goodvibes

Haven't posted because not much happening. Just waiting.... anyway I have started working on a disney like calendar for our guests to countdown to their vacation/our VR I am starting in dec 2009 and running thru 12/2010- just to cover the whole year.I making one calendar per family. This is will be a xmas gift. Another disbride did this too! I am adding family birthdays , holidays with clipart etc and then of course I will add the VR events-when we confirm our date . It looks pretty good wasn't sure how I was going to hold together but did figure that out. Other than that, I have a few ideas in the works for some special/extra events while at wdw. Looking forward to site visit too even though we know what we want.for anyone reading, thanks for reading more to come....:goodvibes

It was a great idea from a dis bride!!!!Thanks Jen! :flower3: For each month, I tried to pick disney clipart that fit that month- I used the lady and tramp with the heart design for feb. with the words.... love is in the air....I will try to post pics later. I personalized the cover of the calendar for each family.i.e. "________ family 2010 walt disney world vacation countdown calendar" in disney font with pic of M/M and castle." I just used a report cover with a clear front to hold it together.:goodvibes

Thanks sweetie princess: .... I like how they turned out too!:goodvibes

Here are a couple of pics from the calendars I am working on- they aren't done but almost- just little details left. when making them, I picked a pic for each month that sort of "fit" the month added a quote/saying and then added family b-days (used the same pic and then added bday name underneath on date) and holidays etc. I will add VR information/events once date is confirmed along with planning info/important dates etc. Each cover is personalized with same design but with family name/ name in disney front. I plan on adding a shiny tinkerbelle punch out with shiny multi colored stars to the cover to tie into our magically ever after theme. Plan on giving out at Xmas. the calendars begin in 12/ 2009 - 12/2010. thanks for reading more to come....:goodvibes

I have been trying to decide how to "dress up" our wrapped favors. We are using the lenox M/M ears- I personalized for each guest. I have the wrapped the box in glitter star tissue and added a castle with M/M ears tag to front. I found some "fireworks" bows on sale and decided to add those to the top of each box. The fireworks bows are all different colors . I snipped the loops to make the ends open.There is shiny gold ribbon around the sides. I may add a shiny tinkerbelle punch out above the castle too. The stars /castle etc tie into our "magically ever after" theme. Thanks for reading more to come.:goodvibes

Not too much going on- I have a few things in the works. I Did decide I want to do a bridal tea for the ladies attending our VR. Plan on inviting all ( which is only 10) so not too many and who ever attends does. I am planning on the garden view tea room at the GF. I would like the tea to be the day before the ceremony. I want to get a favor for the tea. I saw some very pretty folding hand fans that have pressed flowers on them that I liked and thought then the ladies could also use for them for VR too, as well as the Mickey program fans. I am still undecided on about ordering the fans, though.
I found a cute wristlet purse for me. I have finished up most of the "vacation countdown calendars" aside from adding VR event dates, but getting closer to being able to do that! Thanks for reading more to come:goodvibes

I plan on using pink, yellow and maybe pale green and light purple. Thanks for reading more to come:goodvibes

with our VR guests being mostly family, we will have kiddos ranging in in age from just under three to mid teens so I decided to help keep everyone occupied I would do activity bags for each guest table versus each kiddo. I plan on having coloring books/ pages, maybe a small book from dollar store as well as crayons and dollar store mickey mouse /disney card games( fish, snap, old maid crazy eights type). I found some bags similar to the color of the table linens I want, added a table tag and will add guests names later...I may have one extra table set up where they kiddos can do the activities rather than where they will eat. more to come . thanks for reading

ok I haven't posted too much about my ideas for the reception. we plan on just using ipod for music with just first dance , cake cutting and then just background music. I plan on having the activity bags for each table with some word searches, coloring pages , crayons. a disney card game and quasi scavenger hunt with questions like find "whose birthday is in november" or "who likes to read?" etc. creating interaction between the guests. I have made a themed bag for each table.

I also asked our WC about having a caricature artist. I thought this would be a nice fit since we are using movies as our table themes and I wanted something fun. WE can have one artist for 3 hours!!!! I am so EXCITED about this! we love doing the animation at DHS.

I also plan on having Goofy(as a surprise), he is DH favorite character:goodvibes Thats all for now...more to come:goodvibes

For our dance we plan on using Keep on loving you and for our cake cutting Be our guest, I am hoping we can arrive at the reception have our dance and then do a staged cake cutting for pics (would love for Randy to get these pictures) then eat rather than eating first and then the cake cuttng. Other than that aren't planning on alot of dancing, maybe our DDs are?! I do want the song I had the time of my life( from dirty dancing) played at the end though. we have some other songs we really want played too. I am working on creating an playlist for an IPOD . we will see.....

Here is my first attempt at a DIY menu mock up, just to try and get an idea of spacing. I have seen blue card stock with stars on it for scrap booking that I want to try as the background but only had the plain blue now.... I am going to try and "dress" it up some,,,more to come

I looked there first but found these then on ebay. I loved the parasol you had :goodvibes I plan on giving them to the girls after the tea party. I may get a few plain colored ones(no floral design) for the other tea guests too. I plan on using a mary poppins/garden theme for the tea party.

I decided to make her a rose wand, even though she won't be walking down the aisle I want to include her in pics with my girls/DDs on the beach and I think she should have some flowers too. She is an only child and loves spending time with my DDs.

Joanna, hi! Yes I was bummed when we had to switch but when pam said we could meet at francs I
felt better about it. really though everything fell into place so easy with the switch- its kind of freaky!
four days .....I can hardly wait... I touched base with wc(pam) today, Found a dress shirt for dh for ceremony on sale and the actually found the dress my oldest dd wants to wear in correct size and color on ebay for half price of what it would be at davids bridal!!!:cool1:I was more than happy, figure when I am buying two any savings helps!!!!

Congratulations on getting your dates / locations and vendors. I know that's a HUGE relief!

The bridesmaid's gown is gorgeous. We bought one of our bridesmaid's dresses on eBay as well, and it's awesome (Alfred Angelo = $200, eBay = $40). My Maid of Honor had the gown from a previous wedding and we found the exact same one on eBay for my Matron of Honor. The way I see it, they're paying enough money to just be at the wedding. No need to spend an arm and a leg for something to wear!

So, less than a year to go! Time is going to start to fly by!

My newest project is an aisle runner did up mock up on butcher paper to take along so If I get to see WP I can see if I like the color comb.
Here is a pic. its not perfect but I know I can get close to the design I want and what changes I need to make( using a finer brush and date needs to be a little bigger) its a start.... more to come!!!

Samantha, Hi! Thanks... I have been trying to decide if I wanted a runner for a while, I " borrowed" the design from another dis bride and decided to try. I tried different fonts and sizes( I am going to make the date bigger, to make it easier to paint and use a finer brush) and was happy with the mock up. Hopefully, we can get in the wp during our trip and I can see what the design/runner would look there and how much wider etc it needs to be....thanks for reading. more to come:goodvibes

Vanessa, thanks for reading! Randy was great. He made us feel so at ease and comfortable. I am so glad we had the chance to met with him! I told him, I had parasols to use for the beach pictures like you had , He said several brides have used them since you! He suggested we get sunglasses matching the parasol colors to use too....WE :love: loved the napa room, neither of us had ever been in it before . In all honestly, it was not one of our first choices but Pam (WC) suggested it so I figured we would see what we thought and I am glad we did. The french arm is straight in from the back stage entrance in france. It is on the morocco side. If you turn around you would look back at the fountain. It is a pretty venue!

That's pretty cool that other brides are using the parasols, they really are so cool in pictures. I love the sunglass idea! I really wish that I would have had some sunglasses for all the groomsmen because they all had them but 1 of the guys.

I have decided to indulge myself on a whim, I have talked with impressions and decided to order some personalized napkins for the reception(I know I don't need them, but I want them) they forwarded me some designs and I found one I really like. It is the castle in one corner with carriage in opposite and star like design on sides with our names and date in the middle....I plan on ordering royal blue with gold foil imprint -not a very good description sorry....I was originally going to order some for the dp but figured no one would really see them there. more to come.:goodvibes

This was my biggest issue about planning for a wishes VR , but now its out of the way!:goodvibes

The personalized napkins I ordered from impressions came, I really do like them. Its sort of cool they sent the actual tin(?) template they used to make the design along with the napkins -sort of a unique keepsake! I will post a pic ... more to come.

Way to go. That's great! We're only at 7 nights and we're 3 months away. My guests are slackers - they've all booked plane tickets, but not rooms :rotfl:

Can't wait to see the bridal tea favors!

Hi joanna, thanks for reading:goodvibes..... I couldn't decide on favors for my tea, but wanted something. I know other brides have used those little tea cup candles which are cute but wanted something different so was I bouncing around looking and saw vista prints was having a sale on personalized mugs. so I chose a simple design added text and done.....here is a picture. nothing fancy but plan on wrapping them up somehow and adding tea packets etc. I figure everyone can use a mug . I ordered one for everyone. more to come!

ok I haven't posted too much about my ideas for the reception. we plan on just using ipod for music with just first dance , cake cutting and then just background music. I plan on having the activity bags for each table with some word searches, coloring pages , crayons. a disney card game and quasi scavenger hunt with questions like find "whose birthday is in november" or "who likes to read?" etc. creating interaction between the guests. I have made a themed bag for each table.

I also asked our WC about having a caricature artist. I thought this would be a nice fit since we are using movies as our table themes and I wanted something fun. WE can have one artist for 3 hours!!!! I am so EXCITED about this! we love doing the animation at DHS.

I also plan on having Goofy(as a surprise), he is DH favorite character:goodvibes Thats all for now...more to come:goodvibes

My you are so creative! I love your ideas. That pomander is so going on my idea board. And the table centerpieces like movies, perfect! The pic of you two on the swing is my favorite. And I definately am stealing this idea for a kids table with activiTy books!
More pictures please! I want to see the luggage tags and everything!

The mugs are really cute! I love that idea bc it's a favor I would actually USE afterwards- if I were your guest everytime I used it I would think about your wedding and the wonderful time! I would love to see pics of the napkins and luggage tags! I've thought about using luggage tags for our save the date but haven't found any I really like so would love to hear all the details on these!
