I had to let go of the lace but my maid of honor pointed out I have lace in my dress so I should stand out works for me! Here is my maid of honor Belinda modeling her’s we just picked it up yesterday let me know what you think?!

So I am thinking of having everyone pick their favorite Disney character and in the programs I will incorporate a picture of their character and them plus on my girls bouquets I want to add a charm of their character (ex. For tangled add a frying pan charm) and for my guys to add a piece to their boutonnieres very similar to the superhero boutonnieres?

I like that you had such specific criteria in mind when looking for Bridesmaid dresses and it looks like you absolutely nailed it! Even if you had to let go of lace in their dresses, like you said it's still incorporated in yours and you can see Belinda looks so happy with it! So good when everything falls into place like that, not quite exactly as you hoped but I think maybe even better!

Also love the idea of including people's favourite Disney characters in some way. A sneaky way of finding that out (because we were thinking of doing the same, using personalised character ear hats as favours for our guests based on their favourites) is having everyone set up their My Disney Experience profile, linking it to yours and seeing which character they picked! It's a little limited of course but could be a good start. Of course, it could end up like ours and all your female guests pick Ariel! In any case, I like the charms idea and that personal touch will really help your guests feel included in the whole magical Disney experience.

I have two the color scheme changes now beside that I am also playing around with wording whether it should be our names plus a fantasy wedding our just Fantasy wedding no names?? Let me know, also this is another HP subtle hint the keys with wings are exactly like the keys in the first movie that harry potter has to catch to open the door I only think hardcore HP people will see it but I will know its there and feel better plus the antique key goes with the vintage feel two birds one stone yey [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

I think it definitely works on both levels. HP fans might catch the reference but standing on it's own it's a really lovely design too! I'd say bag number one and including your names - not that they'll ever need reminding of whose wedding that was from of course!

The bridesmaid dresses was so hard to let go of the lace but like you pointed out it will make me stand out more so a bonus for that and I really do love the girls dresses they are so elegant like I wanted and will go nice with everything so far!

I am definatley going to have to check out that site! and try to get my guest to do that! I love that it does the work for you, mostly when I ask people who their favorite it is they never know but the charms and little action figures for the bridal party is something I am really loving if your doing disney might as well go the extra mile and I am hoping to also use my guest favorite characters for door magnets! a cheap and really cute way to incorporate disney magic and i love the personalized disney ears that is so cute and original!

and yeah i figuered it was a really subtle way to add HP but the design is also really nice

I really appericate all the feedback it really helps! Sometimes you have so many ideas in your head your not sure if its working or not!

It's so exciting to get a couple new outfits every few months. That really extends your celebration! Are you planning a second cruise back-to-back? Like one for wedding and one for honeymoon? That'd be so nice because then you can have time with family and friends and after that you can have time just the 2 of you!

 

[sorceressk]

Also-I luv your new puppy! She's so darn cute

I know shopping in advance makes it feel like time is going by I wish it was sooner haha but I know the last few months will fly by when more stuff becomes due. And yes we are doing a back to back we sail for the wedding from 05-23-30-15 and then our honeymoon is 05.30-06.06.15 and we are flying in a few days early to go to WDW and to Harry potter wizarding world. And that's exactly what I though we will have a whole week with our family and friends and then just down time for the two us to enjoy being married! and thank you she is such a sweet addition to our family and has such a personality

I absolutely love your little life preservers and their functionality. You may actually get me to do something crafty.

Haha glad I can help inspire the crafty side! it has seriously taken over on me thank goodness there is only 10 months left so hopefully I don't go broke in side DIY projects and the life rings are great you should really try them they would go well with your save the dates and website since they are meant to save people you could tie that in with your sinking ship (which was awesome by the way!)

Wow, you're so crafty! All of your ideas are really great so far. I really like the idea of personalized hand sanitizer - my friends and I use them all the time at the university and of course, I always carry one with me on any vacation.

I'm eager to see more of your pixie dust soon!!

Hmmm... Do you mean something else to go inside the bags? Not crazy at all! I love your ideas, it makes everything that much more special because you put so much thought (and effort!!!) into everything.
