Tammy & Randy's Wishes VR:7/14/10~WP/Napa/France-PROF PICS!!!!!

[padisneyfour]

still working on a few new/special projects here and there. Worked on my dress yesterday some while turkey cooked. Did decide to ask niece to hand out our programs-a "greeter" , so made her a card with a poem inside like the fg cards will give it to her in the late spring. We aren't having a fg or rb. Have narrowed down who we plan on contacting for the officiant, but will do that in the future.

Tammy I just caught up, I love the hourglass! What a great idea!! Can't wait to hear more! I hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving!!

 

[padisneyfour]

Laura, Thanks. I am very excited about the hourglass family sand ceremony idea. we did a unity candle at our wedding, so we wanted something different and to include the girls. It seemed to fit us.
I found a basket for our mickey programs at the dollar store. It is just a plain natural colored wicker basket, but I am going to dress it up. will post a picture when its complete. I figure for a dollar, I can't go wrong...Thanks for reading more to come.

I really like the hourglass you picked out. I may have to look into that as I still can't find a sand ceremony vase that I like that comes with a lid.

Jennifer, thank you. That's the same reason I ended up choosing the hourglass. I couldn't find a sand ceremony vase/set with a lid that I really liked. I saw some very pretty ones, though. Good luck.

Tammy you have done so much! I haven't read in a while and I just got caught up. First I love the hourglass! That is such a great idea and what a beautiful meaning! I would have loved to do a DP, that will be such a treat! And the Pavilion! It's a great choice, that's where mine is too!

How exciting going down for Dec 09! That will be a fun trip between planning the VR and DD's birthday. Can't wait to hear more!

Well I have been working on a few different projects. My latest is a basket for our programs. after looking several places, I found one I liked. It was a plain natural colored basket at the dollar store, so painted it white, added some shimmer paint , gold ribbon and shiny mickey heads . I plan on lining the inside with white cloth. I posted a pic below, not the best pic will try to get a better one later.....Thanks for reading. more to come

What a Great Basket. I wish I would have thought of that!

We are starting to consider reception venues, until recently I hadn't given that much thought. From the pictures we have seen, we liked the looks of the whitehall patio/room combo and have been leaning towards that site. after some additional research, and talking with disney another option for a group of our "estimated" size would be the Napa room. My biggest concern there is the menu since you have to use the CG menu. We have never eaten at the CG. I have looked at the menus but I am still unsure. We have several young children in our guest count too. I imagine the view is amazing from there. I have seen some pictures. Any insight would be appreciated.Thanks for reading.

 

[padisneyfour]

More updates coming soon! I am excited about them.....

 

[keenercam]

Tammy -- can't wait to hear your latest updates!

 

[padisneyfour]

Lots of details have been figured out and have given our venue choices to Disney! Pam has been awesome! I am SO EXCITED about them all! Everything seems like it fits together and will flow nicely! Now its just waiting .... Lots of little projects in the works will fill in details later. have been experimenting with different hair styles without much success yet, have several concrete ideas about how I want it to look but getting it that way is a whole another issue. Thanks for reading. more to come...

Tammy no matter how you do your hair you will look beautiful!

Tammy no matter how you do your hair you will look beautiful!

Laura, Thank you.

The venues we have selected are the Wedding Pavillion, the Napa Room of the CG and the Rue de France(french arm) for our DP. Our chosen dates and times have noted too! I can't say enough about how helpful and patient Pam has been with me. I have asked a million questions and she is always so quick and pleasant to answer each one. Now its just waiting..... I have so many ideas going through my head, esp. about the DP. The venues bring different parts of our vision together as well as tie in bits of our life together, i.e. we stayed at the contemporary on our hm etc.
we also have made a decision regarding an officiant for our ceremony and have made contact. sorry for rambling... thanks for reading. more to come!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday!
I had made a special cards one asking my niece ( she will be 10)to be our greeter- handing out our mickey fan programs and the other asking my nephew( he will be 11) to be an usher/greeter. We included the cards with their holiday gifts. Today before they opened their gifts , I told them there was a card inside they needed to open first with their parents. After reading the card, they both were excited and agreed! Since we won't be having many guests other than family it is really just to make it more special/exciting for them, but it was nice to see them excited! so we now have a greeter and an usher.
I got minnie bride ears and the disney wedding cd as gifts from DH!

Thanks for reading more to come....

Now that we will have an usher(nephew) and greeter(niece)... I have been designing a special t shirt for each of them. we always have family tshirts for our trips. My idea for the usher with help from the disign board (thanks a million!) is a picture of mickey as Indiana jones with his name and the words written like the movie title and WDW 2010. For my niece, our greeter she will hand out the programs ,I found a clipart design of ariel w/school of fish , added wavy word art with her name with "WDW 2010" I like them, I hope they do too! I will post pictures down the line when I make them. More to come... Thanks for reading
