A sand ceremony is the same concept as lighting a unity candle. The bride and groom each get their own canister or vase of sand and at a specified time during the wedding ceremony, they will simultaneously pour their individual containers of sand into one. This symbolizes their separate lives becoming one. I have seen where 2 different colors of sand are used and the couple takes turns layering them into the shared container. This symbolizes that while their lives have become one, they are still their own individuals.

Thanks for the info. That sounds lovely!

We renewed our vows on the Magic last Februrary. My wife found info on the internet for the sand ceremony, and our version was slightly modified, in that we had everyone that traveled with us (11 total) add sand. Today that sand sits in a souvenir hurricane drink of the day glass (Bahama Mama removed, of course).

I am on your cruise and I think as of right now we have 9 or 10 cabins participating. (PS - Love the tote!)

I do this to make coasters. I tape the tissue paper to a piece of printer paper. It feeds through the printer easier. Just my 2 cents.

that is exactly how I did it- tape tissue paper to a regular sheet of printer paper- you can also wrap the tissie paper around the reg paper but sometimes it won't feed right and crinkles.

My brother did this at his second wedding. They had three containers of different sands, one for him, one for my sister-in-law and one for my niece, his daughter from his first marriage. It was supposed to symbolize the three of them becoming a new family. It was sweet and you could tell my niece was thrilled they included her.

WOW!!! These are great. Can I ask where you bought the tumblers from?

I bought the tumblers online at Oriental Trading.

DH and I designed a travel mug insert (I borrowed some images from board DISigners), I laminated them and gave a coffee mug to each adult in our FE group. I wanted something that could be used on the cruise and also as a souvenir after the trip.

These are wonderful but now everyone is going to think I stole the idea from you. I have mugs with handle's I am using for our adult gift I bought them about 2 months ago. I finally got my design done today now I just need to get use of a better printer and I will be done. I'll post photos when we get back. I don't want anyone sneaking a peak as I know a few of them look at this thread.

I've been making these as a teachersgift last summer, would you think the bucketholders would make part of a good FE gift (without the supplies of course ?)

 

[KatyTxGal]

Wow!! Love the mugs!

Wow I can not believe I have been off the ship as long as I have and yet still never posted pictures of the gifts we made.

We use out Yudu machine (personal screen printer) for shirts all the time. Well it finally bled over to FE gifts.

We screen printed our version of the DCL logo onto pot holders for the adults treat bags for the kids and a tote bag for each stateroom.

Screen printing (excuse the mess the craft room was destroyed in the name of FE gift construction and assembly

Some of the finished products

If you have any questions feel free to ask. The DISign was made by myself and idrivealumina.... we like our Pirate Cruise Line (PCL) logo so much we made all 4 staterooms worth of the group PCL shirts.

Awesome thread, but...now I'm a little intimidated!

It took me a long time just to figure out how to post it.

 

[morgansmom2000]

Those pot holders and tote bags are great!

 

[WDW Enabler]

Those pot holders and tote bags are great!

Thank you! The Yudu machine is so easy and addictive once you get used to it. And clearance plain pot holders and treat bags (Michael's craft store) sure helped the budget.

We also all had matching shirts for pirate night.
