I'm sorry if this was already asked and you answered. I couldn't find anything.

Do you mind me asking how did he make those hats? I LOVE them!!! I'd like to make some for my fiance and I for when we go for our honeymoon.

KStarfish82 - What wonderful ideas! the unity sand is my favorite, so simple and elegant, and perfectly gorgeous! I'm also a big fan of the menu! You've carried that ribbon or atleast the texture over to a lot of your items, and it ties it all so well together!!! The castle, the centerpiece... ack! where's the jealous smiley???

I don't mean to butt in, but are you referring to the baseball caps with the ears on them?

Thank you so much! We had an under the sea/beach theme which was carried out by blues/greens and accented with tropical plumeria (silk ones as seen in the centerpiece)...it is amazing what you can do nowadays with 50% off coupons to Michaels and AC Moore!!!

LOVE all of this! Your centerpieces are AMAZING!

Thank you!!!

Did you make the shirts yourself? If so, do you have the images. I love them and would love to do something similar for us.

I did make the shirts myself. I also have the images if you want them. Although, all I did was search for images that I liked and designed the shirt with word. Then I just printed them on transfer paper and glitter transfer paper from michaels, cut 'em out and ironed them on the shirts. I also have the Disney font on my computer, so I just typed it all out! Easy easy!!

WOW!

I just stumbled across this thread, and boy I'm glad I did

DF and I just got engaged and are getting married this summer and I am FREAKING out because I don't want to spend tons of money on pre made stuff; if I'm gonna spend that kinda money I wanna customize it. This thread gave me TONS of ideas!!!

Officially hooked.
