well I finally have some time to post an update..so i better make it a big one!!!
first, I hope everyone had a wonderful holidays!!!
Heres me, my sister,Trace, and my dad on the first night of hanukah
And Trace and I with our nephew(ring bearer) on christmas morning!
Trace got a surprise gift from her sister on christmas. It was a jacket/sweatpants combo with a little inscription on the back. It was really nice and Trace got emotional when she opened it. It was really one of the first things I have seen with that name on it and it makes me smile of course.
Yay now on to the DIY stuff!!
First up is the place cards. For those of you who have stuck around they have changed since their first time around. Originally we had the mickey heads of the vinylmation series on the cards. The dolls were also going to be free standing next to the cards. We now have them in teal, purple, and pink tulle and wrapped in our ribbon we got from theknot.com. the cards have our emblem on them now instead of the mickey heads.
Old ones
New Ones
And packed in the crate to drop off at Francks. We also put the table pictures, stickers and our signature drink card in with it too.
Next up is our staged exit. We origianlly wanted to do floral petals. That got too expensive. Thought about non-toxic rice for birds, but disney said we couldnt do that. So Trace came up with an idea of doing ribbon wands. Great idea Bear!!!! except if I had known how many trips to michaels/jo-anns to get ribbon it would take, id still do it, I would have just gotten all the ribbon at once LOL..
How its made.
Got dowel rods from home depot. cut in 12 inch lenghts. Screw in eye-hooks t one side. Wrap ribbon around rod. put ribbon through eye-hook and tie. Wave around on the big day!!!!
My sister acting out the part!
Some of the final wands and wands waiting to be finalized in the crate that we will bring to Francks
Bear necessity packs include:
-tissues
-scope
-tylenol
-shout wipes
-q tips
-pocket bacs with holders.
Got shrick wrap and learned how to do that...so cool!!!!
Also did some water bottles,door hangers and hidden mickey cards
We also made shirts for our park day, but I havent taken pictures of those yet, Ill post them later. We will be at Disney in a week and be married in 9 days!!!!
