*Jessica & Jared* 06/17/08>Wedding PJ< *We're Back & Married!*

OK, so I have been working on my welcome bags lately. I do have a long way to go with them, but I wanted to post what I have done so far. I chose white gift bags and decorated them with the graphic that I made. I also punched green cardstock with my Mickey punches and glued them to the bags. I am pretty happy with them. It is not the best work I have ever done, but I can be satisfied with it. ::yes::

For the two kids that will be attending, I purchased smaller gift bags and put Disney scrapbook stickers on them. I also had some left over Mickey letter stickers, so I put the kids’ names on their bags as well. I think I have finished buying for the kid bags. Here are a few pictures of the goodies that will be going into each child’s bag. :earsboy: :earsgirl:

Oh, I also purchased a few Disney Dollars to stick in the kids’ bags too. I love the look and feel of the Disney Dollars; the dollars feel like real money. Notice; Scrooge McDuck’s signature on the bills! So clever!

I plan to purchase many snacks, necessities, and fun things for the adult bags. So far I have purchase some fun Disney pins. I found them at the Disney Store yesterday when their pins where 50% off. I bought all of the guests a “Disney Family vacation” pin. I thought it fit perfectly for the occasion! :grouphug:

I also created a sticker that will be attached to the necessities bag that will contain band-aids, sunscreen, gum, Shout wipes, tic-tacs, etc… Thanks to a few of you on the boards for that idea!:)

Also, I snagged some information brochures for the parks that were available at my local Disney Store. It is filled with park maps, helpful hints, and other information about the parks that I thought my guest could use. Thank you Sandy for the idea! ;)

These will be inserted into the folders that I still need to find. I will also put my welcome newsletter in the folder with postcards, stamps, My DF’s and my “Top-Ten Things That Can’t Be Missed In the Parks” list, and other info. Wow! I still have so much to do!!! I am stumped on the welcome newsletter! If any of you have a finished welcome newsletter that you don’t mind posting, I would love to get some ideas from it! I think I am getting writers-block when it come to that stinker.:sick:

Lastly, here is the finalized wedding program that I made. I am only putting a picture of the front and back page of the program, because those are the only pages that have changes since I posted last about it. The “Thank You” page has a faint picture backdrop of my DF and me sitting on a dock with our backs to the camera. I hope you can see it in the picture. It looks really nice in reality!:bitelip:

Thank you for the confidence booster ladies! I have so much more to do with the bags until they are complete. :faint:
 


great job on the welcome backs!! They look great!

Thank you! I think I have finally finished with all of the print-outs for the welcome bags or folder. Now i just need to go shopping for all the snacks and necessities for the bags. My gal pal is going with me on Wednesday to do that. Over the weekend I created and printed the following for the welcome folders:

  • Welcome Newsletter
  • Fantasmic! Welcome Event Invitation
  • Our Walt Disney World Tips Brochure
  • Our Wedding Crossword Puzzle
  • Our Reception Lunch Menu (for adults)
  • Our Reception Lunch Menu (for kids)
  • Handy Trip Cards
  • Contact Sticker (w/our #s)
  • Welcome Bookmark
  • Seal Sticker for front of Folder

Wow! I am so happy I finally finished that big obstacle. Now I have to find something else that will keep my mind busy! Oh, I guess that is why i am on the boards now! :laughing:
 
I can't beleive you leave so soon!! The welcome bags are looking great!

Thank you so much! I have really been stressing about them. I have put a ton of energy into them. I am so glad I am finished with the hard part. Now I just need to go shopping!:woohoo:
 
Everything looks great!! Love your welcome packet!
 
Wow you have done so much to prepare for this wedding!! I love your dress!! I love pick-up dresses!! Your welcome gifts and bags turned out great too. I bet you are getting so excited. The last 2 weeks FLEW by for me!! Im so jealous-- i havent been to Disney since the wedding back in 2006. Im so ready for another trip!! I cant wait to read your TR so I can pretend for a brief moment that Im back there..
 
How exciting... :cool1:

Yes... it is very exciting! This past year of planning has just flown by, but these last few weeks are dragging! I think it is because I have more down-time now that school is out. During the past year I have been so busy with teaching and planning that the time flew. Now that my summer vacation has began, I find myself constantly checking the calendar. I should have taught summer school so I could keep myself busy! I am ready for the day to be here!:headache:
 
Don't worry it will be here before you know it, in the mean time just enjoy the panning!! Everything looks great! :goodvibes
