~~Alissa2008 PJ 10/30/08 SBP~~ Update 7/3 (Cake Update)

[IndyBride]

I really like the newsletter with figment. But- people who aren't familiar with WDW might not know who Figment is. I didn't until about 7 mo ago when my FSIL explained him to me. I think a NBC one would fit your wedding plans well though.

[Lynn5700]

I vote for the disney pics..although I love the mice!!!!

[alissa2008]

Thanks for all your help gals -- still haven't had time to edit a new one -- but I think I might go with the Dis ones anyway --

Totally NOT dumb!! I like that idea!! :thumbsup2

[megveg]

without further ado:

DF Had a cool idea too -- what if we printed all the different kinds and just sent them out randomly? Is that dumb?


Hey how the heck do I take off that poll? or is it there forever now??? :(

OHHH print all different ones, if i was invited id be waiting to see which one I got (hoping for NBC!) lol

[Goldeelox9]

I love the Idea of differant ones. I love the NBC ones!

[alissa2008]

Thanks gang!! I think we will do all different kinds!! woo hoo!

Now, how many different kinds is too many? I love playing with clip art so I need a max -- we have about 150 guests, about 70 households... I have 4 so far but I think I want to make a few more ... is 7 to many? Then there will be 10 of each?? :confused3

[megveg]

I think 7 is perfect, cuz then you get an even amount of each and still get to have fun making them without going nuts making 150 individual ones lol

[Donald'sGirl]

Hi Alissa! I am just now catching up on your PJ and I love your newletters! The NBC is AWESOME!! My DF loves NBC! How are you doing them?

[alissa2008]

Ok here's what I wound up with. I think I'm going to do a bunch of different styles and SEND EM ALL!! I guess it will be random (unless I know some people who will :roll: at the thought of disney characters) ... Let me know what you think -- and if I should modify them at all... THANKS GIRLS!!!

[Donald'sGirl]

I love all of them but the last two don't really have a "theme" like the others do. However, they are still really cool!! I love the way you did them. I would send them at random that's a cool idea!

::yes:: Thanks!! Yeah I think I might cut those two out -- but df really likes the one with flounder... :confused3

[bestla]

Flounder's by boy!! :thumbsup2

[Donald'sGirl]

::yes:: Thanks!! Yeah I think I might cut those two out -- but df really likes the one with flounder... :confused3

Since he loves Flounder and really who doesn't?!?! why don't you do a Little Mermaid theme one? So take the pic of Sebastian and move it to the one with Flounder and then add one other pic and you will have a Little Mermaid one! :confused3 Just a thought.

And you know...those newsletters all totally go together because aren't you doing "movie" tables at your reception?? So it's like they are all part of your theme!

Haha You're so right Rachel! I thought about that today! I'm so smart I didn't even know it! lol. It's swell. :thumbsup2

Haha, i freaking LOVE harry potter -- inspired my siggie! We were just watching the third one -- DF got me the whole BluRay box set for xmas! It's even awesomer in high def!! Ron is my favorite!! And Neville... :goodvibes

[figmentcookie]

Have you thought about having a harry potter invitation instead?

[alissa2008]

I hate that the posts are posting out of order in the thread -- its going to make everything VERY confusing...especially with my PJ. I hope they didn't do that on purpose -- :confused3

[alissa2008]

Alissa I love the way all the newsletters turned out!!!! (The Little Mermaid - Flounder one turned out fantastic!) Would you email me how you did them?

sure i can send you them all if you want to use them as templates -- just send me your email!

After checking out the cake thread on another forum, I decided to change our cake desgin :confused3

We loved the NBC cake below but I was never too sure about the "frilly" layer design. I want to have something else to break it up, but I didn't really loooove the vine look -- but I do like these circles!! I LOVE IT!!!

similar to this swirly layer instead
http://sweetretreat.ca/files/cakegallery/swirl%20butter%20cream%20wedding%20cake.jpg

My apologies for posting these pics twice, but since I modified the design just now, I thought I'd post again so you could see them all together and not have to jump around to different pages. Couldn't find the NBC topper pic again, guess it wasn't on photobucket...you'll have to go searching... sorry!! :surfweb:

[alissa2008]

Should I make the swirls a different color? :confused3 Our wedding colors are black, white and violet. So, I think the stripes are going to be black and purple...I could make the swirlies black or purple -- any thoughts?

[shezfrombermuda]

I like the swirly layer. If you made the swirls purple, I think it would look really good!

[lov2b@disney]

I like the purple too! What topper are you doing?

[alissa2008]

I like the swirly layer. If you made the swirls purple, I think it would look really good!

:thumbsup2 Thanks!!

[Donald'sGirl]

That cake is so awesome! DF will flip when I show him the pictures! That is one of his favorite movies! I also say the purple swirls would be awesome. :thumbsup2

[alissa2008]

Thanks gals!!

This is the topper:

[Keira1387]

I LOVE the swirly layer!

[jessesgirl-080708]

I like swirly layer too! Cute idea, def go for a color change.. maybe a subtle one sort of like the pic?

[irisbud]

I think purple swirls would look great

[Eeyore's Tailfinder]

Oh, oh! Where did you get the cake topper?!

I LOVE this cake http://www.colettescakes.com/imgs_wed/nightmarewedcake2.jpg and both me and DBF LOVE NBC :teeth:

Oh yeah!! I saw that one when we were looking it's killer! But, since my mom is doing it for me, I didn't think you could get the same look without the airbrushing, so we liked the fondant one best. I have a link on where to find the topper somewhere else in my pj -- someone else asked and i found a link right to the store... I'll try to find it for you, but if you start around page 1-10 or so it should be in there... hth

[Eeyore's Tailfinder]

Thanks :) I'll have a look!

We are NBC crazy too! We're dressing up as Jack and Sally for this years MNSSHP :teeth:
