Meryll83's SBP/Citrico's/Morocco PJ - Update: Trip Report now underway!!

[IndyBride]

I've previously worked with RIT brand dye. They have powder and liquid formula. Used it in my washer and it works great. It does fade with washing but you won't be washing your crinnie. Click here for custom colors from Rit's website. I believe this is the same dye Caryn used. If you are worried about it coming out too light maybe try doing it more than once? Or leaving it in longer than directions specify. The website also has info on techniques and fabrics. I didn't look too much at that though.

As for another name: Nala?? Simba's lady tiger friend. And, if you are concerned people won't know you could always add a small picture to the sign. Jane from Toy Story. Dory from Nemo. Good luck!!!!

hope this helps, we used some wording from this site http://www.verseit.com/

If you are thinking about cash/vouchers some of the travel companies do vouchers (we did this).

Thank you, this is so useful!

I'm surprised there seem to be so few dye brands out there - I've just investigated Rit, and the wine colour looks great, but annoyingly it goes on to say that it will dye lighter on Polyester, which I figured, but then it said it's not suitable at all for 100% Polyester
The only dye I can seem to find in the UK is by Dylon, will have to see if I can find out more about them. I suspect it might be the same to be honest.
Who would have thought it would be so difficult to change to colour of something?! Surely there must be something to do it!!

Nala's a nice one, the Princess & the Frog girl is called Tiani I just found out, which is also very pretty, but the film won't be released here until a month after the reception, so it may be a little lost on people, either that or they'll be impressed that I'm so ahead of the times

What about naming the tables after Disney hotels? Just a thought.

 

[meryll83]

Ok, bad news one is that Dylon also doesn't dye Polyester.

Good news is I found this stuff - iDye Poly which looks like it will do the job.

Bad news again, is that it doesn't come in the right colour, the red is mega red, not burgandy enough - does anyone know what colour red and violet together would make, would it be close? Or would red and brown be better? Any suggestions? I'm not sure if they're mixable though and I don't think I want to risk it, I might have to buy a couple of sachets of each and do a test garment first, although I don't think I have anything else polyester to dye....

The trouble is, it comes in dissolvable sachets, so I would have to use the full amount of each colour, and it might just go a manky brown colour.
Do you all think it would look ok if I just did it red, or would it clash too much with the roses, bridesmaid dresses etc. I think for the little amount that it will actually get seen it might be ok in just plain red.... What do you guys think?

And the final thing to sort out here is the best method of dyeing is on the stove top, so any ideas where I can get a cheap pan big enough to "cook" the skirt in and throw away afterwards??

Thinking about it, if I do it on a stove top I can always see what colour comes out of mixing red and violet, perhaps dip some paper in or something just to see, then if it is awful, I can throw the mixture away and just do red on it's own.

That's a cute idea, are there enough?

1. Grand Floridian
2. Polynesian
3. Contemporary
4. Caribbean Beach
5. Coronado Springs
6. Port Orleans
7. Boardwalk
8. All Stars
9. Pop Century
10. Yacht & Beach Club

Ooh yes, there are!
My only worry is, will people feel less favourable if I put them on a Value table and others on a Deluxe table?

Don't forget the DVC resorts!

 

[meryll83]

Don't forget the DVC resorts!

Of course!
The grandparents can be at Old Key West


Or we could do attractions and have the kids all sit together on It's a Small World and all our rowdy friends on Jungle Cruise

Sounds like a plan!

 

[keenercam]

Oh, FUN! I love the idea of using attractions and then suiting personalities to the various rides, like IASW, JC, Pirates, etc. The possibilities are endless!

 

[meryll83]

I was actually half joking at the time, but now I'm wondering if it might be a good idea after all

 

[Pinkerbell1983]

If I were you I'd just skip through the text and look at the pictures I'm going for a record I think of the DISboards longest planning journal!

 

[Pinkerbell1983]

Ha Ha I don't want to miss anything!!!

Im up to page 5 so far, think I may need a few days!!!!

 

[meryll83]

Ok, so here are my STD's (that still sounds so wrong ) - still a work in progress as you can see, but not far off done once we get dates and times confirmed!
I found the blank template through googling, I think it originally belonged to a knottie, and got creative with colours, clipart and editing yet more swirly clipart to make the logo and backing image!:

 

[IndyBride]

Those are super cute!!!!

 

[keenercam]

Oh, wayyyy too clever! I am very impressed!

Love it I used the same template but only could go as far as the 1st template I figured since dinsey was sending some out as well i didnt need to add all the other stuff i was actually going to get them professionally done but they were about $20 - $40 a piece then I had to pay an additional $40 for a one time fee to create a picture I said no thank you.

You did a wonderful job!

 

[Pinkerbell1983]

Love Love Love the STD's!!!!!

Where is this template from?

 

[DecemberBride]

Love them too!!!!!!!!
