As the big decisions for our Disney wedding celebration are just about finalised, I though I would spend some time over the weekend, making a start on our official Disney Save the Date packages.
As we are only inviting a very small number of our closest family & friends to WDW, I wanted these Save the Dates to be special.
The idea is that the magic begins when the guests receive their save the date in the mail and continues right up to when we leave for WDW, finishing up, after we get home.
I have several follow up packages for guests that I am going to send out leading up to the trip and one as a final 'thank you' when we get home. Each package will have a handmade travel item included so that by the time we leave; everyone will have accumulated a travel set for the trip.
I was contemplating either making scrolls, passports or boarding pass invitations and decided on boarding passes & envelopes. I experimented with several different styles, fonts and colors before I found a design that I liked and that worked well together.
Unfortunately the pictures did not turn out to be very clear, but the cover design is quite simple with Cinderella and a trail of starts around the ‘D’ of ‘Date’, our initials in the bottom corner and swarovski crystals on several letters.
On the inside cover is a pink & silver castle with the words “add a touch of sparkle" & more swarovski crystals over the letters.
The Boarding Pass
I still need to make the luggage tags that we are sending out in the save the date packs, and will post a photo when they are finished.
Then in a few months we will send out a follow up package (with booking info etc,) and I think the travel item we send out with this will be a travel wallet.
The last pack before we leave, will be a welcome folder with all the ceremony, parks, activities and contact number information. The handmade part of this pack will be a scrapbook / travel journal, as a keepsake to record the trip.
The final pack will be sent out when we return home, with a thank you note and hopefully some great photos & mementoes that we collect on the trip.

I agree! I love the boarding passes!! Did you ever end up doing the luggage tags? Also, where did you find the graphics for the boarding passes?
