I have a slight edge for the castle. Would you have it colored or keep it white?

 

[Goldeelox9]

That is a tough one. DIsney did a Fairytale Wedding show on the food network I think and the castle they had was bluish and it looked great! I looked into getting the topper and taking it to the cruise with us, but couldn't justify the cost!

Oh, the blush would be awesome! It is expensive though for something just to eat. I like the idea of having the topper for a souvenir for years to come.

 

[Goldeelox9]

I like that too! It will be special to use the same one on your 50th wedding Anniversary!

See I'm different. I know I'll pack away a topper some where or let is collect dust somewhere, just like my glass slipper is from my engagment, lol! SO I'm going with the edible castle as its one last 'keepsake' that I don't have to have lying around the house. That's just me though I throw alot of stuff out.

I prefer the edible castle. I've heard of many people saving it somehow for years to come. Like coating it or sealing it or something Though I probably wouldn't want to eat after vaccuum wrapping it

 

[pink_tink8i8]

Here are some possible wedding shoes. I thought I'd share

These are my faves

I'll tell you why I chose a pair of platforms. I could wear platforms for about 20 straight hours without feeling pain.

These I like because of the ribbon and the glitz

I never thought of doing that. I wanted to keep all my wedding stuff in a glass case that I have and just look at it everyday.

I think Df would agree with you on this one. He doesn't like things hanging around either and he loves chocolate so there's no way I'd get to keep it because he'd want to eat it at Disney

I love the first pair of pink shoes!!! Unfortunately, that style just doesn't work for me.
Actually, considering I am running the half marathon 2 days before my VR, I am thinking my feet will KILL me off if I try to squeeze them into anything too girly or high.

 

[mermaidbride1108]

I vote for the pink shoes!

Probably not a good idea. How about sporting pink running shoes with jewels that way you can use them again for your VR

I vote for the pink shoes!

Thanks! The shoes will definitely be pink, I just need to choose a style.

 

[pink_tink8i8]

Thought I would post some of the things that I have for the welcome bags so far. These are actually things for the women, but hey, it's something

Mickey mints

for the girls

scrapbooking stuff. I'm a bit of a scrapbooking junkie

designs to use on the bags from the creative boards

 

[padisneyfour]

just catching up.I like the pink shoes and the items for welcome bags look great! The designs are pretty too- I love the colors in the cinderella one. can't wait to see more....

 

[pink_tink8i8]

I was just wondering if I'm supposed to only invite the parents and people in the wedding party or everybody who is invited? Since we're having a destination wedding am I supposed to include all the invitees because they have traveled far? Is this a nice gesture but not necessary? And if I only invite the wedding party, am I supposed to include the spouses, girlfriends/boyfriends, children etc?
I have a feeling that some people are going to want to come just because they want to feel involved and will offer to pay their own dinner just so they can be there. Is this ok?I personally, would like to keep the group small so it is more intimate and I can thank people properly rather than in a large group. I'd like to keep it to the parents and the wedding party with the spouses and their children. Is this mean?

Oh, that is just such a FUN idea!! I will have to girly-up my running shoes for the half marathon!! My current brand is blue and white but when I shop for my next running shoe, I am going to aim for white, and then I can do something fun with them! Thanks for the idea!


Wow! Those goody bag items are awesome!! Where did you find most of the stuff? I just found the mickey 3 pen gel pen packs at the Target dollar spot but haven't looked around much at the dollar store or anything like that for other bargains. It's all coming together for you so beautifully!

Sabrina -- I am sure there are all sorts of protocols and I think, ultimately, you have to do what works for you. I can tell you I've struggled with this question too. Howard and I have decided our rehearsal dinner will be only us, our kids (our attendants), his mother & sister, my best friend (who is walking me down the aisle), and another couple (the husband is our officiant and his wife and he are very very dear friends). I figure we can use the excuse that others may want to be off in the parks or enjoying their resorts. We are doing a dessert party later that night and everyone else is invited to that.

Thanks so much! I was so excited about the cinderella and prince charming in the mickey ears. It's so cute!

I can't wait to see what you come up with. You have me wanting to run a marathon now. I'm going to look into it. I've always wanted to do one.

Thanks Actually I've been pretty lucky. My mom picks stuff up for me every time she sees something Cinderella so a lot of that stuff comes from her and my MOH. A lot of the stuff came from the dollar store and Wal-mart. Everybody on the boards always says they find tons of stuff at Target. I'm so jealous because we don't have Target in Canada (or at least where I'm from). I don't have a disney store either! When I can finally get to one I think they are a lot different then the ones in the US. It's more for kids here. People have bought antenna toppers and other cool things...we don't sell stuff like that. I'm so taking advantage when I go to my PS to pick stuff up at stores in Florida ebay has been really good for me too. lots of cool stuff on there

That's what I want to do. Keep it small but I have a feeling that others will want to come and will even offer to pay for themselves. It's not about the money but more about that I want to be with the people that really helped me with the planning and such. How do I say "no" without sounding rude? The dinner is just for the wedding party. Ok, I like that. I think I'll go with that

very sweet of your mom & MOH to pick up stuff when they see it. I had been picking up 15 of certain items I saw until I looked at my room list and realized we probably need at least 17 welcome bags, and possibly 19. So, now we are buying 20 of everything and if there are leftovers, I willl use them for kiddie gifts or donations later.

You're so quick to respond Yes, my mom and MOH are very cute with stuff like that. I have no idea how many people are coming yet so I don't know how much stuff to get. I'll just keep picking up and if it gets to the point where I have tons of stuff I'm sure it won't be hard to give it away. Who doesn't like free disney stuff?
