Our Theme

As I said in the last one, our wedding theme is Kingdom Hearts. I'm super excited about it! I just wish that our budget would allow us to be able to do everything that I wanted to do with it. It sucks being broke.

As of right now, the theme is mainly going to be for the reception. I had everything planned out when I was told that we weren't going to be able to do that because of funds. Spencer and I are paying for this thing ourselves. Don't get me wrong, we will have a little help, but the majority will be all us.

So, for the venue...Spencer and I decided to have it at my parents' house. They have plenty of land and the lighting for an outside wedding is wonderful. So for the arriving guests, we plan on having fans in the many different worlds for people, as well as a light path with ground paper lanterns. Kinda like this ->

The only difference is that they will be blue with stars and moons to look like Mickey's Hat from the Sorcerer's Apprentice in Fantasia. I've already got several made, and really hope they turn out well.

We are also planning on decorating around the tables where the food is going to be out. Because we're also having the reception in my parents' basement/garage (which we are going to decorate), there isn't much room for everything to have assigned tables. However there will be places to sit and eat. Along the tables, there will be many different things that we will pull straight from the game or things that make us think of certain Disney movies.

 

Not only above is a picture of Mickey, but I am in the middle of making the broom to have them holding buckets. They will be mini and will sit on the tables that are there. The one I have (and need to finish) already looks super awesome and I'm really excited about them.

 

For this bad boy, I plan on trying my hand at sculting. Even though it might be stirofoam (however you spell it), I still want to make a mini bust for Aladdin. I think it'd be really cool to do, if I can get it to look right. Not to mention, trying to find a magic lamp seems out of the question. :)

 

As far as favors, I haven't had a chance to really sit down and come up with a list. I have so many things that pop into my head that it makes it rather difficult to decide on just one. I thought about doing a grab bag, but even then, it'll get costly. Then it was..."Surprise! See what's inside", but I really don't want people upset that they didn't get the one that someone else had. It makes thing rather difficult.

 

Spencer and I have talked about putting little things on the tables for people to eat while they wait for us to take pictures (we promise it won't be any longer than 30 minutes). Several ideas have came into our head that deal with cookies. And they seem like they'd be super fun to make as well as eat. Hehe.

 

The other day I was looking around on DIY sits for wedding themes when I cam across a notical theme. I really liked this idea of how they did their guest book and changed it up a bit. I think it'd be rather cute to do a keyblade that everyone can sign instead of a book that could easily get lost. We've even talked about how we would make it and everything. I'm rather excited about it...Can you imagin, me...with a power tool. Ha! But, I think it'd be awesome!

The last thing that I was to bring up, is what we plan on doing with the pool. I know that most of the family when they come to visit look forward to letting everyone jump in the pool at any given time. To prevent the kids from going inside once the ceremony is over with, I plan on putting little floating things in, to prevent them from doing so. Not to mention, it'll give it a nice touch. I seen this picture and thought it was such a good idea!

Tell me what you think! Tootiles!
