Wedding Invitations

You know you’re a Harry Potter fanatic when you base the theme of your wedding off the Harry Potter books and movies. That would certainly be one I would want to attend, just to say I had.

As far fetched as it sounds, it is true. I recently heard (from a very reliable source) of a couple who are planning their wedding reception/dinner exactly that way. Now I’m not talking about tacky cheap looking decorations. The goal is to make it look and feel like you’re really in a Harry Potter movie. They have thought of every last detail and it’s going to be a quality authentic experience.

This couple has found an old beautiful cathedral like hall for their dinner which apparently looks much like the dinning hall of Hogwarts. The “feast” will be laid out in the same fashion as the movie on not modern but vintage dishes. They plan is to even have candles hovering over the guests at the dinning hall, just like the magical lit ones. How they will pull that one off, I have no idea. Where there’s a will there’s a way.

It would be interesting to see if they have real live owls flying around delivering messages to the guests. For sanitary reasons I can’t imagine they would take the risk of having the owls flying over the food.

This doesn’t sound like one you can do on the cheap, but if you can afford it, go for it. It’ll be something to talk about for years to come. Just make sure you get lots of pictures.
