Michelle & Jeff's Wishes 12/8/12-WP / GF WH / Morocco - PJ with Photos

Yay! :banana::banana::banana: We received this yesterday! It is so cute!!!

Although we may not use the cake set because I really want the DFTW one. But it was cheaper to order the whole set.

We also wanted to put a sign by the guest book... since we only have 30 guests I want them to sign more than just their names.

What do you think about this?

From each of your experiences,

Comes a very treasured gift.

A special piece of knowledge,

We didn't know exists.

Please share with us your wisdom,

About marriage, love, and life.

How to be a loving husband,

Or a perfect wife.

Please write your hopes and wishes,

To share with us for life.

For the greatest gift of all,

Is the gift of your advice.

What would you like the newlyweds to remember most about this day?
 
I think your guest book idea is sweet. I have seen people also do decorated cards that people can fill out with advice/comments and then the cards can be used in a wedding scrapbook. We ended up having guests sign a matte frame, which we later filled in with pics from our wedding day.

There is also the ol' polaroid picture idea, where you leave out a polaroid camera, and guests can take pics and then attach to a pre-arranged guest book and add comments. It could be cute to have little Disney related props they can add to the photos!

Props like this on hand held sticks (diy)

but something Disney'ish. You could get Mickey ears, mickey big white gloves...oh the possibilities are endless!

Shut me up now.
 
Here is our scedule for food for the week of our wedding/honeymoon... I know this looks like a ton of running around for food, but we go to Disney a lot... and since we have the DDP - we will be eating good:lmao:... We may end up canceling a few things here and there as it gets closer. Cant tell Im TRYING to be super organized....

Oh and BTW... Chanel is our little princess puppy... dont think Ive added a pic of her yet... She is a 5 year old maltese. She has a whole closet full of clothes, and yes her tail is pink, I dye it with cherry Kool-Aid :rotfl2:

here she is....

but something Disney'ish. You could get Mickey ears, mickey big white gloves...oh the possibilities are endless!

Shut me up now.

Awww thats a cute idea with the props :) We are already giving Mickey ears as favors... Ohhhhhh you are on to something!!!!! Hey I added where we will be dining that week... will you guys be at any of the same places? That would be cool if you were!!!
 
Ahh some days we are at the same park, but we have the same restaurant but for a different meal. WAH. Though, we will be at the park, so might see ya!

If the guests are all getting Mickey ears....that would make for a darn cute pic!! ehhe.

Your wedding journal is making me want to renew our vows at Disney. Though, I think you have to be married 20 years or so to really warrant a vow renewal! haha. So maybe in the year 2025! :rotfl:

PS Your dog is so cute!!
 
Okay so originally we were going to use Impressions for our invitations but I had the price wrong and to get exactly what we wanted with pictures that belong to Disney our 25 invites would have been over $900... I couldn't see justifying spending that on invites. I mean I know that I never keep a invite to a wedding that I've been to after the fact. Plus I wanted to spend that extra on better things not paper :lmao:

We ended up using Somer Studios... I actually found her on Etsy. She does have a castle design that she uses (its not the Cinderella castle, but I never liked Impressions pictures of castles all that much). We have been working with Cristy from Somer Studios for at least 2 months now and she has been extremly accomidating with all my many changes and it only costs $5.00 with her to actually get a sample of your invite (so I could actually see how it will eb put together not just a proof). Anyways, we should be getting our invites next week and I will def post a picture of the finished product for you all to see. We ended up going with a pocket because of all the information (we have an invite card, response card, reception card, dessert party card, and farewell brunch card, and we also did a timeline card. And the best part... for 25 invites w/ printin gon envelopes came to $178!!!!:cool1:
 


We received our invitations today in the mail!!!! We decided not to use Impressions because of the cost. But we went with Somer Studios. I actually found them on Etsy. Cristy was wonderful to work with and very accommodating with my many changes. Our invitations for 25 of them with the envelopes printed and shipping to us was $178. We had 4 cards in the pocket and an RSVP envelope, and I also had her make a calendar of events to put in the envelope with the overall invite. I am extremely happy with the quality and how they came out. We also ordered stamps from Zazzle. They have Disney designs, but the great part is you can add text to them. We havent received them yet, but Ill post a picture when we do.

Here are some pictures...

I love your invitations!! The pocketfold looks so elegant and the castle logo looks so great! And what a great price!! :goodvibes
 
I love your invitations!! The pocketfold looks so elegant and the castle logo looks so great! And what a great price!! :goodvibes

Thanks!!!! Yeah we were debating over the pocketfold ever since we started talking about invitations, but with so many wedding events that I wanted separate cards for - we thought the pocketfold would work best. I love them.... Now if our stamps would come in.... They are supposed to arrive August 21st, but I really wanted them before this weekend to work on them. Oh well...
 
We got engaged a year ago tomorrow (August 19th)!!!! And our wedding is 110 days away tomorrow ahhhhhh. Can't wait till were in double digits! Yay and my birthday is Monday... Ugh sooo old!
 
Your invites look beautiful!! What a great job. Your guests are going to have such a fun and fine time celebrating your marriage!
 
Looks lovely! This was my entertainment while *trying* to make BoG ADR's! At least I enjoyed your posts! :goodvibes

Awww well thanks for reading along! Did you ever get through? Im actually back on hold with them, because there have been posts saying that if you booked through the auto and they didnt ask for CC guarantee that you need to call back with it because they could drop it within 24 hours... UGH
 
Okay so our invitations went out yesterday!!!! It just feels so official now... I'm getting soooo excited!
 
I'm joining in a little late. I'm getting married stow days after you. Wp/gf and dp at morocco. All your plans seem to be coming together.
 
Tomorrow is 100 days till our wedding!!!! I cant believe how fast the time is flying! Our guests have started getting our invitations and have been sending me texts and calling us to say they love them.

Also today the AP rates for resorts came out, and we saved $600 on our AKL part of our stay, but on the first part of our stay at GF they didnt offer discounts for theme park view - so no discount there. But we paid our honeymoon resorts and dining plans off!!! That feels good to take care of that :cool1::cool1::cool1:
