2011 Girls!!

What is your theme?? Mine is going to be a classy dreamy wedding! Since it is a 11/11/11 wedding it is all about wishes and dreams coming true... i love it!!!

I want to incorporate the quote ,'A wish is a dream your heart makes,' into my wedding somehow. Would love some more ideas for the 11/11 date.

So far i have :

make a wish foundation- donations for favors
alot of candles
something special at 11:11 (no idea what yet)
Wishing tree with the guest names in a hang tag

open for more suggestions!!!

Have the guests write a wish for the two of you to see you through life and put it in a hurricane or something.

How about a wish book for your guests to write a wish in for you both?

I'm trying to think of how you could incorporate a wishing well where people throw coins in....

What about using Stars and having Wish/dream quotes on them? You can put them around the room!

At around 11:09- I would play a song like 'I could really use a wish right now , wish right now' forgot the name of it! Airplanes in the night sky were like shooting stars, etc.. And then at 11:11 stop the music and have the dj announce for everyone make their own wish for themselves or the bride and groom.. Kind of like a moment of silence.. LOL

I dunno if ur venue will mind but I know its on the water what if you gave each guest a penny to throw into the water and make a wish at 11:11?

you can definitely incorporate stars, because you wish upon stars, depending on your colors though you can also do wishing wells, or Genie lamps. Wish tree
click the link above it is an article about wishing trees for weddings. guests write there wish and hang it on a tree.

Totally cute idea! You could make cards w the pennies on them w glue dots!

Whenever anyone mentions fountains i think of FBIL trying to jump into the fountain at sand castle in the dead of winter. Sigh. That boy is so ending up in the water at my wedding. Theres already a bet going.

The freestyle girl in me thinks you should play wishing on a star by the covergirls. :)

They used to play that song every night at midnight.
