OMG our theme is just outta control!! Check out my sister's ideas...

Original post by GettinHutched

Warning - this is a long one but I can't help it- I'm so excited!!

Wow, I am just blown away by the different ideas she's coming up with. You may or may not know from my posts, but part of our theme is the Yankees. My colors are navy and white. Tables named after players. Placecards will be Yankee tickets, with peanuts and cracker jacks attached to them.

I told my sister how we can't throw anything outside the church or even bubbles, that we would have to go with ribbon wands. Well she had an idea that she kept from me for a while, cuz she wasn't sure if I thought it was too much. She finally fessed up today. She thought instead of ribbon wands, how about PENNANTS?! Is this NUTS or what? I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it.

So they'll wave navy and white pennants instead of ribbon wands. They'll be pretty small- not the typical pennants you see baseball fans hang in their rooms and whatnot. Some pennants will be all navy, some all white, and with probably a little bell at the top!! I'm so excited!!

Be honest- do you think it's too much? I think since they're small enough, it should be fine- and it should look great in pics!!! We're just gonna take felt, cut it to the shape of the penant, glue it around the same thing you use for ribbon wands!

And...we started work on the Save the Date. Again, how does she think of all these things? It's a collage of pics, but with a very subtle baseball reference. The middle pic is the shape of a baseball diamond!! Soooo cool! Here's a pic of first draft (we're probably gonna have four pics around the diamond).


ETA: Seriously ladies, if you need ANY design help, FM me and I'll put you in touch with my sister!

considering I work for MLB (maybe I'm biased!!)......I don't think it's too much....I think its really unique, and since you & FH love the Yankees so much than it makes your wedding really personalized and different. Sounds like a lot of fun!

I like the yellow and black pennant idea better than navy and white

Just kidding, it's a cute idea! That will look so cool in pictures!

Today is Sarah's wedding so I can't sleep. The rehersal dinner was so much fun, I can't wait for the wedding!

The throwing panties idea was even better, no? Can you imagine? You must share that one with Sarah- she'll get the Elvis reference!

I can't wait to hear and see all about Sarah's wedding!!! I don't blame you for not being able to sleep!!
