So continuing the story of everything that happened in the days before we left, we'll look at my favorite last minute project. And when I say last minute, I really mean last minute! On the afternoon of the day before we left, I realized that we didn't have any programs for the ceremony. It was one of those things that I had assumed would happen, but that never had. We could have sneaked by without programs, but I actually really like getting wedding programs. I like trying to figure out which attendant is which and keeping track of how much longer I'm going to have to sit there. So, I really wanted us to have programs. Of course, since it was 3 P.M. and our plane left the next day at 6 A.M., I had sort of run out of time.
A little bit of back story - also simmering on the back burner was a spool of ribbon that I picked up at an after-christmas sale. It was perfect for our wedding colors, so I bought it and then realized I had no idea what to do with it. It was really wide, wire-edged ribbon...not the kind that you can wrap gifts with or use to tie to anything. I tried to incorporate it into the centerpieces, but failed miserably. So, the ribbon lay neglected on the kitchen table, topping off a large pile that I like to call "what the hell did I buy that for, anyway?"
In a flash of last-minute inspiration, I went home that night and designed a one-sided, one-page program that could be printed on cardstock, folded up, and wrapped with the ribbon. I unabashedly cruised other Disney Brides' trip reports and copied their designs for their programs. I then added in a little bit of artwork from the early days of wedding plan and voila!
I must say, I'm pretty proud of them, myself!

No problem. Just email me and I'll send it back to you.
Cute programs! I'm working on some wedding programs right now for a customer that is getting married at Disney World too. The programs don't really have anything "Disney" on them, but I've learned a lot about the Disney wedding process through them. Sounds like it would be tons of fun to go to!
