most of you know we ended up changing our colour scheme and opted for a vintage tea party theme well thanks to a certain programme about not telling the bride h2b now wants to incorporate alice in wonderland because he wants the mushrooms and crazy croquet etc hes suggested buying A3 playing cards for the kids to use outside plus crazy croquet and a bloody wardrobe for everyone to walk through, he also wants the kids to make giant paper mache muchrooms and also place clocks etc around our venue. I don't know wether to strangle him or laugh at him considering Ive just designed all the invites etc. What do you ladies think would you strangle him too or let him incorporate his part to the day.
ps hes also on about wearing the mad hatters costume

Me either Kel but he loved it lol x
Lana Im coming round to the idea and managed to change all the invites and reprint my mock for the printers but ive told him the suits a no-no as he wont suit the ginger wig but told him I will make him some mad hatter hats lol so now the idea is to get the kids to make big paper mache mushrooms in the 6 weeks holidays to keep them entertained an I have to find some large cup and saucer planters, the A3 playing cards are £10 on bay of e just hunting for crazy crouquet lol x

that's good Bryony that you have come round to the idea and able to change up your invitations, by your adding the mad hatter party into your wedding your showing your H2B it is really "Our Wedding" as you let him have some input in the wedding as you get some men who complain that we take over and we do not let them add their input into the day so your H2B can not turn round and say you didn't let him add his ideas into the wedding =D Good No Costume and Craft for the Kids sounds excellent keep them busy over summer great plan and you will find the large tea cups and saucer plates and crazy croquet have fun =D ♥ X I loved that Don't tell the bride episode it was Koolio but not my cup of tea but the groom had a massive imagination =D ♥ X

Have you got any places nearby that hire large garden games?? Might be worth a look if you can.
I remember the episode you are talking about. I think personally incorporate some of it into it but not to go over the top.

Does your H2B like to be unique? If he does tell him that a few million people have already seen it done! Personally i think you could possibly get away tying the two themes together, could be fun :)

I too think the themes could work well together, as long as you don't go too ott.
I felt so sorry for the bride in that episode, she seemed to be one of the few nice ones who had a bit of faith in her future husband, and he just went mad.
I could see what he was trying to do, but I don't think it all came together, particularly as it was so dependant on the weather xx

How annoying to tell you after you've already done so much work! I think you could merge the two themes though. For example the teacups and vintage crockery works for vintage and mad hatters tea party
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return

CommentAuthorMrsA-J
Flippin heck! That will cost some pennies!
Im all honesty tho i thought that episode was amazing and it would be fine with the tea party idea! If you feel you have enough time and budget id deffinatly do it!!! Cant see many others going to a wedding like it. Deffinatly a unique one X

GF the hall we are having hun is an old bowling green so we have 2 large grass areas outside were allowed to use xx
Lana he's a happy bunny now but starting to moan it will cost a fortune but told him it was his idea lol x
GC2B were just going to add a few props and instead of keeping all the table cloths the same we are going to mix and match them so hopefully it will help tie the 2 together as we are already having teacups and saucers x
Laura I thought she was going to end up in labour all the walking she did lol x
Joanna he's a sod I told him last night I could strangle him but luckily the invites are all done via a craft disk so doesnt take too long to change them all infact ive just finished the inserts lol x
Miss-A luckily its not going to cost too much extra probably around £100 as the croquet set is roughly £15, A3 cards are roughly £10 the kids are making the mushrooms and are going to try giant paper mache cups so really thats just the glue which I can get at wholesalers for a couple of quid, clocks we are also going to get the kids to paint on card, the drink me bottle h2b said he will use the large cola money bottles but will try paper mache to change the shape or make 1 out of ply wood etc, we are also going to get some garden flamingo's so all and all not too bad really. H2b also going to do this to the croquet set lol xx
