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

[padisneyfour]

since we only have a small number of families that we will be inviting(family for the most part) I ordered a customized park maps to see what they were like and then had one sent to my moms address too, I plan on getting additional for the families attending since so few and have the time.You can only order once every 6 months. I also found a website (that may have been posted before) for LED/glow necklaces and have ordered some for DP(?) They came to like $1.60 a piece. On the same site they have LED spinning Mickey head/ball- may need to get some of those too later... will see what the necklaces are like once they arrive.

Thank you.... my family wonders though....

oh!! Where did you get the LED lights and necklaces!

the name is premier glow in tenessee. I just searched their site. The necklaces came yesterday- they are so COOL! They are red,yellow, blue green and purple- I think( each necklace is 5 colors anyway) and they flash the different colors. I ordered 24 and it was $38.00 including shipping . The spinning mickey head I thought look neat are currently out of stock. I tried to get a picture of the necklaces but it didn't work well. will try again over the weekend. In other news, per se, the customized maps came- I think they are neat looking. My plan is to include them in the welcome stuff too. then last night dh and I were talking and DH wants to wear a top hat but not with mickey ears. he wants GOOFY ears-these weren't around when we had our HM- he told me that is my next project. His favorite character is goofy. He has a vest with goofy faces to wear (similar to the mickey vests) for the VR and a tie with goofy outlined on it. The First thing is finding a top hat..... I will keep you posted

something I have been playing with for awhile is making my bouquet at least( flowers to me are important but not the most important if that makes sense). anyway I have been trying a few different arrangements I guess you would call them... here is one what do you think? Does it look too fake?I plan on adding some crystals and of course a mickey head on the ribbon and maybe a little bit of a third color or colored ribbon instead of white or twisted together with the white. will have to think about that.... feedback will help. I have never really done anything with flowers before. what do you think? Any Suggestions?Thanks...
7/13 new Update: well, I have started again and now I have found a picture to use as guide and I am currently reworking the bouquet arrangement.... will post once arranged....

 

[padisneyfour]

well, I have done some more work on the bouquet project....here's what I have now. I added a few pearl sprays but no crystals yet...... The picture is blurry. What do you think? Suggestions? I am open for ideas....

beautiful!!! That is something i'd like to try, but i'm sure there's no way i could figure out flowers!! Great job!

Thanks for the response. I am trying... never really done flowers before either, but figured I 'd give it a try.... if it works that's money I can use on somthing else

 

[padisneyfour]

well, I found a top hat for DH to wear like the mickey groom hat but instead of the mickey ears he wants Goofy Ears, so I just got a regular top hat ( and it fits too!) from ebay and I am now working on creating goofy ears...... they won't be difficult but I am not sure what type of cloth to use yet( will have to think on that) will keep you posted.... for my bouquet - I am thinking about adding the lacy ribbon from my original wedding bouquet along with the other ribbons.

Beautiful bouquet!!!

 

[padisneyfour]

Beautiful bouquet!!!

Keira, Thank you for you nice comment. I still want to add some crystals for some sparkle and maybe a little more color to make it pop!

I plan on using the lenox mickey ears as my favors/placecards.originally planned on personalizing one per guest and having at tables for seating. But afraid they will get broken, so thinking of leaving them in the box - personalized( I have boxes for all) wrapping/decorating the boxes and having the boxes at the table for seating. I found some glittery tissue paper with gold stars and have sort of worked up a possible design. It sort of goes with the design I am using for our logo. I had thought about adding a ribbon around the box ,but not sure on that. what do you think? any thoughts? alternatives? Thanks for reading.

I think that's a really fun idea. Everyone likes opening presents and that's exactly what it's like.

 

[lov2b@disney]

I think that is a great idea!

 

[padisneyfour]

Val and Sandy,thanks, just a thought may tweak it some yet

 

[keenercam]

Oh, yeah! I am totally all for unwrapping presents. They look great!

Cam, Thank you. I am still working with them alittle.

not doing too much. working on a few things here and there and in my head too. have decided we will use movies names for reception tables to be put in frames I already made.... the names we are def using will be cinderella, beauty and the beast, the little mermaid, Pirates of the caribbean and still need a couple more maybe toy story, jungle book, lady and the tramp etc.... I will post the pictures later of the trial version tablecards and seating cards( so when guests arrive they know what table to look for) that I have been working on.Then on the tables will be the wrapped ears at each seat. I would like to have each table have colored linens( or maybe just a colored runner/napkin) to tie in with each movie ( maybe red for Pirates, light blue for cinderella etc.)and then some little item to go along with the movie too., i.e. glass slippers for cinderella, a rose for beauty and the beast etc.... thats all for now. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone but me, its a beginning....

here are the frames...they are photomats decorated. I think I paid something like thirty cents for each one.

 

[padisneyfour]

well, I thought I would post my trial version of table and seating cards. The seating cards are tent cards and I decided that inside each one( according to theme) I will use a quote from the movie,i.e. Cinderella " A dream is a wish your heart makes...." I thought they turned out pretty good considering I just used word. What do you think? BTW, I am open for movie quote ideas too....thanks for reading.

 

[lpizzuro123]

They came out great. I have been using Word for most everything I am doing and I love it.

I also like the ideas of the quotes inside.

Thanks for posting.
