~Make your escort cards look like hearthstones! You could name the tables after different inns.
~put the yellow quest exclamation points over things like the escort card table, the guest book, etc.
~A WoW inspired cake topper is a must, maybe you know someone who paints minis and could do it for you? (my FI is going to do this for us)
~ Something big and fantasy-inspired for the centerpieces, maybe something with lots of big feathers!
~leatherbound 'quest log' as the guest book, with a quill pen (so easy to make yourself)
~chocolate gold coins as favors
Also, Yay! Another fantasy inspired bride!!!! What colors, season, etc?
Don't forget about the soundtracks- some of the themes/ music can really be lovely for a prelude (song of elune and several original WoW songs come to mind) or to set ambiance.
I was heavily debating using the Grizzly Hills song as a prelude song, it's just so lovely and sounds irish/ scottish (I'm irish). Don't forget a good DJ can sync and skip bits of songs if you give them enough time.
We opted to use Tifa's theme from the FFVII movie in our prelude and we are walking out to Concerning Hobbits from LOTR
If you were thinking of doing the chair signs for you and the hubby, you could use the silver elite dragon graphic around the words "Mr" or "Mrs" or a picture. That would be fun and subtle. Even better, you could have teh silve dragon graphic around the portrait of yours and hubbys mains and have Mr. and Mrs. below
Using odd shaped bottles as centerpieces could be neat - you could fill them with colored dye to look like health/mana pots and pop floralytes in there to make them glow - or any color potion (or make your own potion names etc)
you should incorporate a baby murloc somewhere because they're adorable
If you check out the DIY boards, you can find jena.n.ross who has an amazing email for vistaprint freebies (she's been a lifesaver for me). You can do posters of zone screenshots to use as table numbers or other decor.
You could have funny quest/dropped items (Teamsters Skull and the one ring come to mind lol) placed in centerpieces
parchment scrolls, old books that look like tomes, and any number of easy to find items can be used; I say go to the game for inspriation and just putzt around the zones/ different races home cities to get decor, theme, and abmience ideas.
OMG I'm excited to see how this turns out!
This board was really helpful with cake topper suggestions. I used some doll house pieces from ebay and etsy. I also replaced the generic windows computer background with an in-game wedding.
I love those cufflinks someone posted - maybe do a horde/alliance symbol on the garter? The shield of his favorite race?
And I absolutely think you should incorporate the music into there somewhere. Some of the zone music would be great either to play while guests are being seated or even walking down the aisle. A friend of mine had a song from Zelda during the ceremony. I love those subtle, personal, geeky touches :-)
Oh and ditto those tankards! I always wanted an excuse to get one of those ;-)
