Loving your details Laughing out loud. I also love your engagement ring! We went with a sapphire center stone.

Have you picked a cake design?

Thank you all so much! It's really been a blast to plan so far...though honestly I just wish it was May already!!

We're actually doing cupcakes (I'm gluten-free so it just makes it easier) so no elaborate cake design for us, unfortunately. But luckily, we did a tasting and they're DELICIOUS, and I'm sure the baker will still make them look great (albeit not really "themed").

You know, I haven't really thought of integrating Pascal, and now I'm thinking of ways we could...I love him! We're not having a ringbearer, but maybe I could still have some sort of Pascal ring pillow (aka a Pascal plush fashioned with the rings tied to him!) and have one of the best men carry it down the aisle!

Kat - everything looks great. My wife and I,my sister, and my brother all had Mickey/Minnie wedding cake toppers. My wife and I had a more formal wedding - black and white theme - so we didnt add any additional Disney themed touches. We did have Mickey and Minnie champagne toasting glasses. Our thoughts was that this is our day and we were going to do what we wanted regardless of what other people thought. Looking back, I think the planning of the wedding day was more stressful than the wedding day itself.

I'm gluten free too! We're doing the whole wedding gluten free!! Note we have 3 guests that are also celiacs, and my daughter is going in for testing again next month :/

Aww, I hope your daughter ends up not having celiacs: although honestly, the diagnosis (I have a wheat allergy, not actually celiacs, but still) has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me because I feel SO much healthier now!!

We have Mickey and Minnie champagne flutes too!! I hope that our experience is like yours and our planning is more stressful than the day of: I bet it will be, too. As fun as planning everything is, I'm ready to just hurry it up and be married already! wink

I can't believe we're almost into the single-digits: it'll be 99 days on Friday, which means I'll be sending out my invitations soon! We're going simple with the invitations--as lovely as fancy, letterpressed invitations are, they're way too pricey for our budget, so we ordered them from Vistaprint. We're using the Disney-Pixar stamps for our envelopes:

We designed them to match the Save the Dates we sent out a few months ago (info blurred to protect the "innocent" wink)

Front:

Back:

The invites:

Back:

RSVP Postcards (the back will have our address on them):

And it's not invitation-related, but I never included a picture of my opal and pink sapphire engagement ring so here it is!

Less than 3 months away: eeeee!! The invitations are mostly all addressed and I'll be mailing them out this weekend! We decided on our music selections for the ceremony, too, instrumental versions to be played on the piano:

Bridal Party Processional: "When You Wish Upon a Star"
Bride's Processional: "You'll Be in My Heart"
Special Music: "I See the Light", sung by my little sister and close male family friend
Recessional: "Can You Feel the Love Tonight"

And our amazing accompanist will be playing plenty of other Disney songs in the prelude!

LOVE your song choices!

We also played some Disney songs, along with others, for the tables to know when to get up for our buffet dinner.

Just breathe... It's all going to be beautiful.
Make sure you have a checklist written down so that you can see what you're last minute plans are.
One thing at a time, and before you know it the day has arrived!

I'm looking forward to seeing pictures muchlove

Old: My shoes; I got them at a thrift store Smile
New: Lots of things (dress, tiara, veil).
Borrowed: I'm borrowing my mom's pearl necklace.
Blue: I'm painting my ring finger nails a light blue (the other fingers will be a light pinky-purply color); also wearing blue undergarments wink

Sounds lovely! I'm so jealous you found your shoes at a thrift store - it took me forever to find shoes. (Actually, Kristen K found them for me. Best MOH ever! muchlove )

My new is easy - dress, veil, shoes, etc. Blue - also a no-brainer. My gown (hereafter known as Frou-Frou) needs a crinoline petticoat so I'm dying it blue. I did a whole bunch of dye test swatches this morning and have narrowed it down to two different shades. I'm really stuck on the Old & Borrowed. I had intended to wear my sister's veil but it just doesn't work with my dress. It's a pity since it would have worked for both categories.

Can't wait to see your pictures!
