Same here! It's our party, we're throwing it, and if anybody we don't want shows up, we're throwing them out! :rotfl:

Wally, you may want to call Logan and cancel that flight....just sayin! ;)
 
So I finished our first mock up of my DIY invites. Its comes down to either these.

Or this Mickey Mouse one which is very cute and he has a bowtie!

I'm still liking the idea of making my own, but it will be a bit of work even if I have everyone get together to help. And then they will probably want to get fed, and no one is getting any alcohol until all the invites are done!
 
Wow!

They're both great!

I think the top one fits really well with what you're doing, though!
 

I like both of 'em but you know... there is just something classic (But whimsical too) about a plain white embossed mickeymouse. I'm leanin' towards #2.
 
Those look really great!!!! Wow!! It makes me think about wanting to do my own invitations again. Yes- it would be a good idea to keep any libation away anyone you want to cut a straight line! :)
 
Definitely the first ones. They're such a WOW!

Congrats, by the way!
 
I like the first ones better. The pictures look like illuminarias, which I think are dramatic and romantic.
 
I like the classic Mickey in the bowtie. :teeth:

Dare I even say this? Many people have the unfortunate tendency to ***gasp*** THROW the invitations away after the wedding. On that note, go with classy and easy. {{{hugs}}}

Guilty :guilty:

I know ho much these things mean to people, but I am not one to keep everything. I keep really important things like pictures, and if any of my closest friends got married I would probably save the invitation, but all other invitations sit on my desk for a few months and go out with the next cleaning.

IMO, no contest! The green ones are gorgeous. They are perfect for your theme. If I got those invitations in the mail, I would be thinking that-this is going to be one super fun wedding!

Thanks :) That seems to be the concensus so far. I think only one person on here chose the Mickey (which I personally love). I guess that's what I get for making the first ones too nice, though I did spend an awful long time creating that center part. It turns out it pays to be a graphic designer sometimes :laughing:
 
Ohmygod, the green ones are awesome! I'm a big fan of the color palette so far (mostly because it's the same one we had). People might not appreciate or save wedding invitations, but they do set the tone for your wedding. And obviously, your wedding is going to be fabulous.
 
It's oh so quiet today, it seems like a perfect time to ramble on about myself!

Thanks to all of you so much for your input on the invitations! It's very helpful and it gives me something to do! The response to the Mickey and the Castle invitations we very tepid, one of my maids (as in groomsmaids) actually told me she would be disappointed if she got the Mickey invite, I told her she was being a bit melodramatic. Oh well, I really loved them all, and I would have been happy with any choice that was made. I would have been thrilled had I received an envelope with a Mickey Mouse invitation, but I think for the general population, they're going to be much more likely to be floored by the folder with the inserts.

Good news! Yesterday I got an email from our Wedding Planner telling us they had received our contract and were processing our deposit, that means we are super seriously totally official :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

This week since we knew our contract was on the way we also sent off deposits to the photographer and the photobooth people, so they are all locked in! I'm really excited, things are coming together very nicely, soon I will rule the world and you all all bow to me!!

Ignore that last part. Anyway, I think we have finally decided on a band and I am going to work on locking them in this week, and that will mean the only big item to take care of will be the flowers and decoration.

Speaking of which, I'm a little peeved about that. We met with a florist a month ago, and I am still waiting for an initial quote from him, after I've already gotten two initial quotes from other florists almost instantaneously. I called this guy because I've seen his work and I like it (and we went out, a long time ago, and it was never really serious) and nothing, so I'm not really feeling inspired with a lot of confidence.

Well now that we are going to get an event planner I am going to set some time to talk to Disney Floral, but I think it will be pricier than it would be to go with an outside company. I am trying not to spend a whole lot of money on the floral, as it's not really a priority for either one of us, and that money would be much more well spent on our awesome honeymoon!

So I didn't even tell you guys about our kick-butt honeymoon! We have decided to go on a 20 day Mediterannean cruise, it's going to be a blast, and it will be a trip both of us will love.

Also we are probably going to make our own program fans, they look like this (I borrowed the pic from one of the ladies on the wedding boards).

So between making these, and making the invitations, I should have enough to keep me busy for a while.
 
Kinglouie, I bow to you now.

Great plans. Great honeymoon!

The whole floral thing can get out of hand. I watch some of those wedding shows and I can't believe what people will spend on flowers. What happens to them after the wedding and reception?

You do what you see as best for you and your sweetie. I know it gonna be fantastic.
 
I am so excited because yesterday we got our real life marriage certificate, none of those fake certificates for us!

Well, we're official and legal! It reminds me of a story I read when this whole gay marriage thing started. Is some county in California I cannot recall this gay couple would go in and apply for a marriage license every year. Every year the clerk would have to turn them away, so instead she started issuing a special "Certificate of Inequality" so that they wouldn't have to walk away empty handed. Well this year she took back the certificate she gave them last year, tore it up, and issued a marriage license.

Tonight we are also attending a glbt wedding expo! How fun! I'm totally excited, even though we have a lot of things set up. We don't have a florist yet, and I am still considering video.

Today I also got the contract for our band. Mike is not big on DJ's, and I could go either way, though I think it's really exciting to have live entertainment. Everything is coming together nicely.
