Answer
CINDERELLA'S ROYAL TABLE ENGAGEMENT PACKAGE

Because it is located in Cinderella Castle, Cinderella's Royal Table is a perfectly romantic place to feel like a royal couple. Proposing at Cinderella's Royal Table is so popular that the restaurant offers an engagement package.

The fairytale dining spot features American cuisine and hosts meet-and-greets with Disney princesses and the Fairy Godmother during breakfast and lunch. The engagement package is available at breakfast, lunch or dinner.

After your meal the server will present the engagement ring in a glass slipper, lying on a bed of fresh rose petals enclosed in a decorative platter with a dome lid. This is followed with a non-alcoholic champagne toast.

During lunch or dinner, you also have the option of a special white chocolate slipper filled with chocolate mousse on an angel food cake pillow, served with fresh berries and a raspberry sauce.

The Cinderella's Royal Table Engagement Package includes:

Preferred restaurant seating overlooking the Carrousel

A photograph with Cinderella

Your meal, including a toast with non-alcoholic beverage

A crystal slipper engraved with your names and the date

A pair of decorated take-home champagne flutes

A Cinderella's Royal Table lithograph

A personal photographer to capture the moment

The cost is $300 plus 6.5% tax and 18% gratuity.

Call (407) 824-4477 at least 7 days in advance to schedule a proposal using the engagement package at Cinderella's Royal Table. I recommend calling even earlier because it can take them quite a while to get back to you!

At the Wishing Well, next to the Castle in Magic Kingdom

In front of Cinderella's Castle at night

On the Peter Pan ride, as you fly over the lights of London

On the beach at the Polynesian, ideally just before the fireworks - Sunset Pointe is a perfect spot

In the France courtyard or Italy courtyard in Epcot's World Showcase, at night (maybe just before IllumiNations)

On the fourth-floor balcony at Wilderness Lodge, overlooking the lake

Where can I find beach type centerpieces idea?

Q. Decorating for sisters reception, around 100 people, round tables...need ideas or websites with ideas and pics for ideas, thanks a bunch!

Answer
Best bet...make your own. Use the websites to get ideas, but steal the idea and make your own stuff. It'll be way cheaper, but take up a little more time.

I would be real simple about it too. For example:

Get some sand, little coctail umbrellas, miniature beach balls, doll sized sandle and sunglasses.

Drop the sand in the center of the table, randomly place the other objects to make a tiny little beach in the middle of each table.

If you really wanna be creative, get some tea light candles, place them in the sand (burried, but not covered) and light them as tiki torches. The sand wont burn, so if it gets into the candle wax it'll be fine.

What are some ideas for a hawaiian baby shower?

beach table decorating ideas image

SiG

I am having a hard time making it not just a luau and not just a baby shower. Does anyone have some ideas that unify the two? Thanks!

Answer
I had this theme for my baby shower! Hang a clothesline on the wall behind either the gift table or the food table with baby swimsuits, swim hat, sun glasses, sunscreen, etc. I didn't do this idea but I wanted to. What I did was just made the colors bright. Each table had a different colored table cloth and I scattered play sand (not a lot) over top with a bright sand bucket in the middle as decoration. I wanted everyone to make a scrapbook page so I filled the buckets with markers and stuff they could decorate with (glue, foam stickers, etc) all beach/Hawaiian theme. So maybe that's what you could go for? Maybe more of a Hawaiian beach theme? On the tables there were grass skirts hanging along the edge and the cupcakes had little umbrellas with tiny flip flops. Thank the bakers for that one. They also made edible sand out of sugar somehow. CUTE. I also served lemonade and made somewhat of a tropical punch. In the background I played beach music. I had fake fish nets that I hung here and there with shells stuck in it. Using beach decorations with BRIGHT colors made it less of a luau and somewhat of a baby shower but not entirely. I was worried it wouldn't look like a baby shower but it sort of had just a nice tropical flair. Yes someone threw this for me but she wasn't about decorating so I took over!

Activity and other idea suggestions for a high school graduation party this summer?

Donna G

My son graduated high school this year and we need help planning and coming up with ideas for the party. Family friends, his friends, and relatives will attend so we need activities for all ages. Also any decor ideas/special touches would be helpful. His colors are greens, browns, and blues--he's a nature lover.
**No ideas involving alcohol please.**

Answer
I hope you can get some help from this:

Planning

This depends on your budget. You do have to cover:
Invitations and Postage
Centrepieces
Balloons
Flowers
Food
Drinks
Tableware
Photographer
Caterer, perhaps
Entertainment
Equipment Rental, if required
Favors and Prizes
Other Stationery, eg for Thank Yous

Perhaps you have decided on the venue. Maybe at home using your backyard, at the beach, park or an indoor venue.


Best have helpers, if you can, who are responsible for food, music, photographs, games, prizes, decorations and tidying away afterwards.

You may have a theme in mind. If you do it does let everyone dress in costume and it gives some focus to the party. The graduate is enough focus but perhaps a theme can be fun. EG, Luau, musical, pirates, or safari.

Decorations can be fairly simple but in the graduate's favorite colors. Balloons (tied in bunches and attached to doors, chairs etc), banners, streamers, a gossamer, pictures of the graduate, a sign in board for guests to leave messages, graduation hats, gradaution scrolls, graduate memorabilia, videos of the graduate at all ages. A pinata is fun!

I like decorating guests with glow bracelets.

The table can have a picture of the graduate as a centrepiece. Some confetti is good too!

Music should be decided with the graduate. Everyone needs to hear something they like at some point.

If your party is at home you might want to decide if you will freshen up some paint, clean, arrange parking, tell the neighbors, move pets out for the night and remove items not required.


Games: There are lots of games you can arrange to bring everyone together.

Match of the Year
What you do is try arranging lots of pictures of the grad at various periods throughout their school years on a table. You could turn this into a competition by asking guests to specify which photo belongs to which year.

Limbo
Play some fun music while your friends stand in line waiting to bend backwards low enough to fit under the limbo stick (broom handle, yardstick, etc.). In order to win, the limbo master must not touch the stick or fall on the floor while limboing under the stick (which is usually held by 2 people).

Pass The Orange
This fun-filled game is inexpensive and simple. The only supplies it requires are 2 oranges and people with both a neck and a chin. Divide the group into 2 teams. When the person (not actually playing the game) says "Go!" the people must pass the orange from neck to neck using only chins and necks. The team that can get the orange to the last neck in line the quickest without dropping the orange wins.

Treasure Hunt
In advance hide lots of items in the garden (or indoors). Tie in the objects with the party theme. Give everyone a sheet with the hidden items listed (or drawn for youngsters.) Time the teams or individuals as they find the items. For example for a pirate theme party you could hide fake coins. Have prizes for the winners.

For younger guests have a table with coloring in paper and pencils. Also you could have face paints and simple races.


Food:
For a mixed age group a buffet can be best with lots of salad, cold cuts, sandwiches, pizza and potato chips. For younger guests raisin boxes, fruit, and some chocolate treats.
Lots of fruit juice and water will keep everyone going.

Favors: favor bags with pens, pencils, some cake, chocolate and a photo holder, for example.


I hope this is of some help. Congratulations to the graduate!

What are some ideas to decorate with a birdcage?

jennibean

I would really like to add a birdcage into my decor in my living room to dinning room area (it is one big room). I am not really sure how to do it? I do have a few pieces of coral, some shells, but at the same time it is not beach theme decor. I didn't know if it was as simple as putting in some pillar candles or if it would not just fit with the decor at all. Maybe with candles on the buffet or sofa table? Pictures are greatly appreciated!

Answer
I wouldn't go with the shells since you don't have anything else "beachey":) I wish you would have said how big the cage is. I've got an antique cage that very decorative and is about 4' tall and I painted it a dark burgundy color and then rubbed on antiqued gold highlights. Then I had a piece of glass cut to sit in it to use as a shelf, I put framed pictures in it and a few brass pieces I had, a candle on a pedestal, etc. and I get a lot of compliments on it. If your cage isn't that tall, I've seen some that are very pretty decorated with silk ivy, and then like you mentioned, maybe put your pillar candles in it, small framed pictures, both~or other items you have. I think it would be very pretty on a sofa table, complimented with candles or a couple family pictures on each side! I think you can make them fit into just about ANY decor, just as long as you do decorate them with items that fit in with the rest of your home's theme.
Best of Luck!!
