It all looks so great, it will be so classy!!! Beautiful choices!!

 

[jodeeluvsdisney]

Love it, love it, love it. You did such a great job in coordinating the colors so nicely!

 

[Tiggerific04]

Everything looks so great and ties together so well! Great job!

 

[TexasCourt]

Now that we've purchased most of the attire I wanted to put it all together to see what it looks like. The necklace I haven't bought yet because I can't decide between it or pearls. I think it all looks pretty good here eventhough the colors are a bit off in the pictures.

Love all the colors and how they coordinate! Everything looks fabulous! You have already done so much! I guess I better get going....my wedding is pretty close to yours!

Details are really starting to bog me down.

Hi, Diane! Just wanted to say hello and offer advice. I'm fairly new to the boards and usually a lurker, but I thought I would come out of the woodwork for a moment or two. Target sells a very nice Planning Notebook that might be helpful to you. And because it is Target, it isn't very expensive. It has sections for all the areas one needs to plan for a wedding. I think it is very helpful. I know b/c I used it when I was engaged (at the Boardwalk, ring very much like yours, but unfortunately it didn't work out, but that's a story for another time).

Anyway, I am enjoying your PJ. Keep up the good work!

Thanks...I actually did get a planner and it has helped soooo much! I had information everywhere...it was nuts! I'm dealing much better now!

I'm almost done shopping for my welcome bags...woohoo!!! Actually the only things I have left to buy are the leis (for welcome dinner at Ohana) and perishable items. With 6 months to go, I figured it would be best to wait for those...besides, I'm hoping to get a good deal on some post-halloween candy!

Here's the scoop on the bags:

The adults bags will have this design (I think)

and will contain:

Mickey Photo Album
Mickey Notepad & Pens

Personalized Hot Sauce (as seen earlier in my PJ)

Personalized Candy (hershey nuggets)

Mickey Antenna Toppers (Christmas )

Disney Cookies

Disney plush

*Water Bottles
*Granola Bars
*Leis

Welcome Pack (with itinerary, welcome letter, maps, etc...)

The kids welcome bags will have the mickey head design with their names (I decided to save money and skip the tees). They will contain most of what the adults bags will have except the hot sauce and photo albums. The will also be getting juice boxes instead of water and gummi snacks instead of granola bars. In addition the kids will each have a toy. Disney Barbie for the girls and Cars rip cord car for the boys.

Sorry some of the pictures are so blurry. I'm a horrible photographer with a crummy camera!

I can't wait to put the bags together and will post a pic as soon as they're done!!

That stuff is so cute! Where did you get those cookies?

 

[jodeeluvsdisney]

[luv4mylittleones]

I'm getting them from amazon.com. They have all different ones (Pirates, princess, pooh, etc...) I just found some christmas ones that I want now! The price is half of the others...I just think it's too early to order. I'm sure they'd be yuck by Dec!

Here's the link:

http://www.amazon.com/Color-Cookie-...H5M6/ref=pd_sim_gro_5_img/102-8155210-7732154

I'm so proud of me...I'm making 9 adult bags (only 1 per couple and some singletons), 5 kids bags, and 1 baby bag and I've managed to spend less than my budgeted $200!! WOOHOO!!!

 

[luv4mylittleones]

Ebay! Ebay! Ebay!!!

I got the cars at Circuit City and the cookies are coming from Amazon.com (link above). I got the hot sauce from theknot.com and everything else came from ebay!! I'll see if I can dig up the sellers names for ya!

And you could never be a pain!!!

*edited to add that I got the tote bags (not pictured) for next to nothing at cheaptotes.com!

 

[Tiggerific04]

Those cookies are awesome! I'm definitely going to have to get some of those for my welcome bags as well

Oooh I want one of your bags, they are fantastic. It's a hard choice on what to put in them isn't it. I am stuggling with the bags for the men as I want them totallt Disney orientated. Think I am gonna have to come along to yours now that I look at your gift bags

 

[jodeeluvsdisney]

Which tote bags did you order? I have visited cheaptotes and can't decide how big/which ones to get. I have the Cars cars too, and a few plush already...but they are fairly bulky! I like to see and feel what I am getting. Would love to see and hear about yours.

You rock Diane!

I bought these in the natural color (figured I'd decorate them up nice! )

http://cheaptotes.com/canvas_tote_bag_8.html

They are a pretty good size and should fit all of the things listed above perfectly.

For the kids I bought these totes in yellow and purple:

http://cheaptotes.com/gift_tote_bag.html

They are WAAAY smaller than I thought so I'm going to put all the yummy stuff in them and then put them in a larger bag for the kids. It'll give the girls a cute "purse" to play with and the boys a nice matchbox car tote or something!

 

[helloirishkitty]

I love the design for your tote bags! I think it's adorable...

And Ebay is probably the best invention ever! heh:

 

[poohface]

Just noticed your new signature pictures Diane, you look so stunning.

 

[TexasCourt]

Diane, I love your welcome bags! Your guests are going to be some happy campers!

 

[luv4mylittleones]

Thanks...I hope my guests like them. I'm happy with the way they are turning out. I'm going to top them off with some disney tissue paper and some cute homemade tags. I'm so excited!

Just noticed your new signature pictures Diane, you look so stunning.

Sharon...you are too sweet!!!
