Sabrina & Jim's PJ: 05/26 Please don't ask....

You are so right! I actually saw pictures from somebody's wedding at SBP and there were people walking in front of the person taking pictures. They were literally 10 feet away from the wedding. No really my thing. I think it would distract me. We're leaning towards a beach wedding now by the WP and having the WP as a backup

That sounds like a beautiful idea, have you talked to anyone about the different options for the beach yet?

Nobody at DFTW yet, but there is another Dis member who is having one and I got info from them.
totally off topic but my MOH was really happy to see your screen name. she never known anybody who likes figment as much as her.

yesterday I came across invitations that had my color scheme in them and they are very contemporary and I'm considering going with these. The place that makes these will make seals out of your pictures. It is so adorable.

Here is a pic of the invitations with the picture seal

I actually think that champagne, pink and chocolate brown work well together. I'm now wondering if I could makes these myself

I found some cute things to put in my welcome bags so I thought I would share.

"Glass slipper" soaps

Mickey tattoos

Been away for awhile at WDW but I know at one point you had said something about BBB boutique . MY 2 DDs just did this before the Pirates and Princess party and IT was awesome!!! My oldest has hair 3/4 the way down her back(long and straight) and she did the pop star we were at BBB for about 1 hour total(one appointment was right before other and actually done pretty much together) both DD LOVED IT and we just took hair out wednesday and redid(after several times swimming). I know they plan on doing it again for VR....

I'm so totally clueless as to who you are talking about

I'm so glad they liked it! I'm pretty sure my nieces will just be thrilled about the whole thing. I'm still debating whether to have them pick out a costume or get them flower girl dresses. I know flower girl dresses would cost a lot less though I"m considering just getting their hair, nails and make-up done. How was WDW?

Here is my vision for a beach ceremony, except with a different color scheme. Something very light and airy but still dressed up:

 

[pink_tink8i8]

I was pondering how I could incorporate something disney-ish into my invitations if I choose not to have disney invites and I found these fun envelopes!

I like the second one on the left

 

[pink_tink8i8]

I found these fun bags yesterday to use as welcome bags. I think I'm going to use some of the elements and inspiration and just make them myself and with the help of the creative boards

I REALLY like this.. it looks so classy and fun at the same time

I also love the disneyish envelopes.. very cute.

 

[padisneyfour]

Disney was great. The whole trip went really well. At BBB, the girls just had their hair make up and nails done too.( one already had a dress) We added a tiara to both(neither style they chose came with one, I think they were an additional $10.00 each) it was a really nice experience- not rushed by any means. And they looked so great afterwards for the pirates and princess party. we stayed at allstar music family suite- nice for $ no complaints. But home now, back to the real world.....

thanks so much! That's exactly how I felt about the set up as well. Beach ceremonies can still be nice and dressed up. Can you believe that I never saved the place where I found the envelopes from? I spent all night looking for the place last night

It sounds like the girls were all princessy for the party. How fun. I hope they had a great time as I'm sure they did because it's disney after all. Nobody really seems to complain too much about the value resorts. That's good. I think I'm going to add a value for a room block.

 

[padisneyfour]

I would def use the value resorts as an option for your room block. I really don't hink you could go wrong. We had stayed at all star movies before and liked it as well( I think it even had more of the disney aura to it because of the movie themes). I don't know if I would pay for a family suite again or as the girls get older just get a second room- the cost ends up about the same.

I've really been getting very positive feedback from the value resorts so I really think I'll go with that. Definitely for a room block but maybe even for myself. Still not sure but we're not really going to spend all this time in our room except to change, shower and sleep so I don't want to spend more money than I have to and with the money that we can save we can stay an extra week! I'm thinking of going with pop century though

 

[padisneyfour]

Never stayed there - had planned to but have heard good things about it. Themed similar to allstars but with with bigger than life items(big wheels, rubics cube etc) colors and bright

Ceremony
Epcot Italy or Germany
Beach: WP or summerhouse

Beach vs Epcot = Epcot would cost less but it is earlier in the morning
*worried about the August, Florida heat for both of these locations

Pre Reception
Don't know yet

Reception
Private room at Jiko
The Attic
California Grill: Napa or Sonoma room
Bistro de Paris
St. James Patio

DP
Morocco
UK Pavilion

Post DP
If there is no other event going on then ADH
or pleasure island

UK vs. Morocco = UK already has tables (if I remember correctly)and you have the option of having other things besides desserts but Morocco is cozier for less people.

I'm going to take Lurkyloo's advice and only do 2 room blocks and I'm going to go with a value and a moderate.

Guest list
still debatable with DF but definitely the folloing people:
Df's side: sister1, BIL, mother, father and girlfriend, sister2, sister3 (possibly her boyfriend and his daughter), and sister4, BIL and my 2 nieces = 11 (or 13)
My side: brother, SIL, niece or nephew (they don't want to know the sex of their child until it is born), mom and dad, MOH(cousin) = 6 + DF and myself so we're at 19 unless one year olds don't count towards an escape wedding (although I doubt this) it looks like it is going to be a wishes/custom.

N.B. I'm not even at the 20 person minimum for the DP so if anybody is going to be at WDW when I get married you can come to my DP for free

 

[pink_tink8i8]

I want to use outside vendors for the following: photography and videography
I read from mousesavers.com that you couldn't use outside vendors for any event in a theme park. Is this true?

Flowers, cake and transportation: disney
- I think I'm going to go with the rolls for transportation.

s-t-d, welcome bags, programs, newsletters and probably invitations I'm going to do myself

favors: I'd like to go with Mickey ears!

 

[lov2b@disney]

Sounds like you have a good start! Our ceremony is at Italy- I think it will still be shady-at 9am- should be a good thing, our wedding is June!

Happy Planning!
