Hi, thanks for reading. I'm plan stalking you too! I love reading about your creative antics as I'm in the same boat. I've been banned from the glitter though:lmao:

How lovely that I picked your birthday. 2 big celebrations on 1 day.
 
Great minds think alike! I too changed my theme for my at home October reception. I originally planed of having a "Fairy Tale Wedding" and now I'm doing more of a Fall/Halloween theme. If you want to use pumpkins, but don't want to gamble on the real deal. I strongly suggest buying and carving craft pumpkins. They are made out of foam, but look real. I'm waiting until after Halloween here to see if they go on sale at local stores at all.

Just a thought! :)

That is such a great idea. I have never seen them in the UK but will have a search on the internet for some.
I have already started planning my reception theme with great enthusiasm. I too am hoping to pick up plenty of bargains after this years halloween. I have also picked out some great indoor inflatables on the Walmart website which I am considering buying and shipping over here.
 

LOL. Hi Susana.

I don't really have too much to add at this time. Just patiently awaiting the time when I can start booking Disney things like the fireworks cruise, dessert party and character meals. I don't think I can do this until 9 months before so still some time to wait.

We have however booked to stay at The Boardwalk the night before and night of the wedding. We decided we would spend the night before together as we already live together and neither of us sleep very well apart. We also thought it would make sense to stay there as Randy is doing our first look pics there ( yes I will be kicking Chris out of the room while I get ready!).

We booked it with Dreams Unlimited as I don't want to miss out on the AP discount rate should one arise. We were asigned Kathy as our agent and she seems really friendly and helpful. Fingers crossed for an AP discount though as it is a tad over our budget at the moment.

I'm also into Halloween craziness! Although it is becoming more popular in the UK, we still don't have all the amazing decorations that are available in America. So I have been looking at Walmart and Target websites for some ideas. Hopefully I can buy a few more party things while I'm there next year.

If you ladies know of any good Halloween websites I would realy appreciate it.

I have ordered a great little wooden sign from Etsy that says "Newly Webs" and our names and it has 2 cute little spiders on it. I'll post a pic when it arrives.

Oh I just remembered, I started "trying" to make our invites:rolleyes1. It's not going great.

Chris saw a flight ticket template and said, "you can do that can't you. Make some tickets as invites". So I'm trying, but I'm not the best at using Word or phtoshop, I'm kind of bumbling through it. Thank God I only have to make 4! I also bought some vintage Florida postcards and some scrapbooking paper tickets to try and tie it all together. My idea was to use a black pocketfold envelope with orange ribbon around and then all the bits and peices inside. However, I kind of lost my marbles a bit in hobbycraft and bought pocketfolds that are far too small for the flight ticket and postcard.:headache: I'm an idiot!!! So back to the drawing board. I'll post some pics later of the things I have so far.

Hey for an non update that wasn't bad was it!
 
Joining in! Were only about a month apart so this should be great! I totally know what you mean about ticket/invitations. Let me know how they turn out, Id love to do something like that! Everything is wonderful, keep the good stuff coming!

Hi Sarah :goodvibes. Thanks for reading.

The invites are really doing my head in at the moment but I will carry on and hopefully will crack it tomorrow!
 
I was just thinking, what are you doing for music? Having a DJ, a band, a few friends starting sing-a-longs?? Hey that would be fun! lol Do you have a couples song special for you and Chris?

I'm following along too now! We'll be in Disney @ the same time!

Hi ten of us, thanks for reading. When are you there?


Mrs Darcy, funny you should ask as we were looking at song ideas on the internet last only last night!

Chris loves a song called Seaside by the kooks. It's quite special to us as the lyrics fit around our lives when we met. Chris lived at the seaside and I was a city girl at the time.

We are having a dj for our reception at home and cd music for the ceremony.

Here are some other songs on our list:

Take that - greatest day
Dolly and Kenny - Islands in the stream (he loves this one)
Savage Garden - I knew I loved you before I met you
Coldplay - Yellow
Adam Sandler - Grow old with you
Michael Buble (or Micky Bubble as chris calls him!) - Everything

I am leaning towards Everything for a first dance. I'd also like savage Garden for walking "down the aisle" do boats have aisles? you know what I mean though! Chris really wants greatest day for when we are married. It's a really uplifting song and very in the moment. I strongly recommend a you tube listen if you don't know it.

Any other song ideas? I'm really open to anything as you can tell from what we have so far.
 
Hi Claire sweetie
Just wanted to say that I am still following along and loving all your plans!!!
 
Thank you Jo, I just had a peak at your newsletter and I love it. I think i might do something similar for the Mums!
 
Got them finished in 1 evening, admittedly I did only have 5 to make and that included 1 for us to keep for our memories box

Here are some pics. I know they are pretty basic but I like the homemade look. I bought the postcards from Zazzle and I found the flight ticket template on the internet. And I must thank Joanne (Tinkerbell 766) again for the fabulous logo you made for us with our names. I photoshopped it to turn it orange and it looks great on the invites.:hug:

The ticket looks off centre on the above pic but it's just the angle I took it from.

We came up with the wording ourselves. We wanted to keep it sounding very fun and informal. And everyones ticket has their name and role on it eg, best man, mother of the bride etc.

I'm really happy with them.
 
Claire sweetie - I love your invitations. You are ridiculously talented. They turned out so well.
 
Thank you Joanne. Your lovely logo will be going everywhere I think.
