My fiance and I are getting married October of this year (2013), our wedding theme is actually The Nightmare Before Christmas. We had this exact thought process....we wanted the theme but didn't want it to overtake the elegance of a wedding, nor did we want it to turn into a glorified Halloween party.
So, I (The groom), created sand art in Jack Skellingtons colors, purchased and created a very large vinyl quote from the movie and framed it to post at the reception. My fiance is having small medallions with Jack Skellingtons face tied into the bridesmaids flower bouquets.
Small candy bar table with punch bowl filled with packaged candies.
We are also setting up a black Christmas tree with white lights inside the reception hall with empty boxes wrapped as presents, just to give it that "look and feel".
Also the table names are are going to be characters from the movie.
Cake topper is The Nightmare Before Christmas custom made with our names and date.
Instead of a guest book we purchased small plain ornaments that our guests will sign and hang on the tree.
Hmmm lets see what else......oh yeah, the music....as guests arrive the DJ is going to play the opening theme song from the movie and when it's over he will play the final song in the movie.
We're also toying with the idea of a fog machine on the dance floor only.
Oh yeah and lastly, for now, for place cards so people know where to sit.....we're getting small 3"x3" boxes and wrapping them as presents, the name tags on the makeshift presents will show them where to sit.
