Kate and Daniel's Laid-Back but Super Fabulous Escape- 08/15/11!!

Love the fans they're a great idea!

your plans sound great, I want to check out Jellyrolls at somepoint too and as for WWoHP, what can I say? I also cannot wait to step foot in Ollivanders. It looks amazing, I'm a big big HP fan. We also took photos of the signs last time we were there, DF thought it was weird that I took pics of signs but I'm glad I'm not the only one. :goodvibes

Beaute speciale is a great choice, I've picked them too. I've not heard a bad word about them so it'll be great to see their work in action.

What a fab MOH you have, the food looks delicious, glad you had a great time.

looking forward to hearing more.. x
 
Love that hairstyle! And the fans!

I'm a big Harry Potter fan as well!!

Jellyrolls is sooo much fun! You will love it!

I feel like I should just quote Kristi, because I agree with everything she said! The fans are great, and so is that hairstyle! I LOVE Harry Potter! So sad that I won't be able to make it over to Universal while we are there in October. And jellyrolls is AWESOME. When I worked at the World in the College Program, my friends and I would go there all the time. Can't wait to read more!!! :banana:
 
I am a huge Harry Potter nerd too! I am actually going down to Orlando in a week for a Harry Potter convention with a private event in the theme park after hours!! You will love it when you go there!

I also really like your idea to use fans instead of flowers. I think they're beautiful, and I'm sure that saves so much money! It's a also a pretty unique and fun idea.

Oh, you're so lucky! I just read your little mini trip report. It looks like you had so much fun! I can't wait to go! Thanks for all the positive feedback! :goodvibes

Thank you!! Yes, HP is quite wonderful. I am even more excited now that the last movie has come out and was AWESOME. :woohoo:

Yay, so many HP fans out there!! My dad also made fun of me for wanting to take those photos. Some people just don't get it. :laughing: I'm excited about Beaute Speciale. I especially love the way they seem to do makeup. It has looked fab on so many other girls. I'm so excited! Thanks for all the kind words!

Thanks so much! I'm sorry you won't make it to WWOHP. :sad2: But hey, that's just a good excuse to plan another trip maybe...;)

Love that hairstyle!! :thumbsup2

Thanks!! I'm excited to see how it turns out.
 

Less than two weeks to go!!! OMG. :scared1:

I'm starting to get really nervous that we're going to forget something important. I must confess that I'm not the world's most organized person and have a tendancy to procrastinate. BUT, I think we're good to go, hopefully, lol.

we sent out our invitations a while back but I never posted them. I absolutely loved the way they turned out...

There's more wording on the inside, obviously, haha. Alice in Wonderland has sort of become a bit of a theme running through our wedding. I found these really cute favor bags I'm using to put Italian wedding cookies in.

And we have some teacups with our initials on them that we're going to set out on a table at the stairs of SBP along with our grandparents photos and the FABULOUS "guest book" that one of my wonderful friends made us. It's not the one in this exact photo (this one is on Etsy) but the same concept.

So, basically it's printed on a large piece on cardstock and guests touch their fingertips to an inkpad and then to a spot on the tree and their fingerprints make the leaves. Then they sign their names below their fingerprint. DF and I loved this idea because, knowing us, a guestbook will just get put away on a bookshelf and probably never looked at again. This we can frame and put up in our house and see it every day. :lovestruc

So, all in all I'm really happy with the way everything is turning out. I have been working on a detailed itinerary to give everyone so hopefully that will help things run smoothly. The only snag I've run into recently is that, unbeknownst to me, you have to be 21 or older to get into Jellyrolls, which was going to be kind of our "welcome" event for everyone on Saturday night. Everyone coming is 21 except DF's sister and I don't want to leave her out. So, now I'm scrambling to figure something else out. I was thinking of just having everyone come to our hotel and have a couple drinks and snacks out by the Laguna Bar and play some Baggo (or Cornhole, whatever you call it). but then what if it rains? There just don't seem to be that many fun (not terribly expensive) options for an evening activity available. Anyone have any other suggestions?
 
Your invites are beautiful! I'm especially loving the "off with your head" part of your RSVP card ;) My deadline for RSVPs just passed and I'm still missing about 20 of them, so I'm kind of feeling that way right now!!
 
How exciting, your wedding is soooo close!!! I love all your plans so far especially your cake and invitations! (I, too, love the "off with your head" on the RSVP"
