Lots more to add on and little bits to get but most of the main things are sorted!!

The big things we need to get soon are the kids wedding outfits (found them, just choosing between a handful we like), Bens ring, and waiting for my dress to arrive so I can make sure it fits and get it shortened (15cm too long!). 

I've started making the kids their plane folders, which has 40 pockets to fill, and I will fill them!  So far we have some activity sheets each for them, and invitation each for our wedding, letting them know the part they'll be playing, and an envelope with $100 each inside :D 

I'm planning on making a proper little brochure folder for them detailing everything we're doing, on what days, with info and pictures etc, hoping it'll keep them occupied for a good while on the plane!

They'll be made more exciting by the fact they won't be able to look at them until we get on the plane :D

  1. I love your post. You reminds me my fantastic vacation with my kids in Disney. Did you rent a Stroller for kids?

  2. Hiya Izza!

    I won't be renting, it costs too much! lol We'll be buying one in Walmart and then leaving it there for someone else to use :D

    My youngest will be 1 so the ones in the parks aren't comfy enough, we need a reclining one with umbrella so he can have a comfy nap while protected from the sun :D
