Having a Mickey Mouse Wedding
After all, Minnie and Mickey have set the standard for long-lived romance: they’ve been together since 1928, and never lost their spark.
Happily, it's not difficult to pull together a fairytale wedding that pulls out all the stops (and pulls the heartstrings), is get-them-buzzing elegant, and gives Mickey and his number one gal pride of place in ways both theatrical and super-subtle.
Storybook Staging
This wedding calls for a big entrance. So roll up to your reception in a snow-white horse and carriage. Or, sweep down a grand curving staircase graced with a red carpet.
Then, add a few fairy godmother-like touches with fantasy decor like draped ceilings (this utterly transforms a room), and elegant topiaries or potted trees with twinkle lights.
A sparkling ice sculpture in the shape of a castle, swan or giant diamond ring amps up the ambiance even more.
Finally, ask your waitstaff if they can pass silver-trayed hors d'oeuvres in bow ties and white gloves, and you've got the full fairytale setting.
Of course, Mickey & Minnie deserve special showing on or near a sumptuous, rose-studded cake. Your gorgeous engagement photo's perfect in a romantic keepsake frame. And elegant Mickey charms make great adornments for personalized champagne flutes, cake serving sets, or a beautiful satin bouquet wrap.
But the Mouse is equally at home in more personal spots only you, your girls (or intended) know about.
For example, an embroidered "hidden Mickey" makes a wedding gown even more uniquely yours, not to mention a very special engraving inside your wedding bands. Add rhinestone Mickeys to the soles of your shoes, and you've got an adorable detail for your photographer to capture and preserve.
Fabulous Favors

Or, give a gift that's as practical as it is whimsical: set out Mickey Mouse cookie cutters, combined with one of your favorite recipes (or even a personally-made mix).
Of course, it’s a snap to find to find chocolate molds starring The Mouse, or cute candy, like spiral lollipops and chocolate pops.
Then, there’s Mickey Mouse wedding confetti to spice up a cake or guestbook table, and even temporary Mickey tattoos for those wild bridal showers (be patient — this goes in and out of stock).
Looking for sleek and chic? Wrap votives with elegant vellum printed with a Mickey head, and tie with a shiny black satin ribbon. Surround with red rose petals.
Or fill a glossy black favor box with a handmade combination of black and white M&Ms and a few Disney mints. Gorgeous with a black and white reception!
The Mouse at Play
You'd pay a mint for a few minutes of Mickey's time at a Disney wedding, but you can have him stay for the duration on your own stomping grounds. How? Order up an adult Mickey mascot costume — just like the ones at the park.Tap a good friend or delighted nephew to manage his insides, and set up some unforgettable photo ops for your guests.
Then pass him on to the next lucky bride when the party's over (and recoup your investment — now that's a fairytale ending!).
Sweet Memories
No small-event fireworks companies available nearby? Not to worry — you can still get some fabulous snaps with wedding sparklers.

Hi wanted to ask for the mickey and minnie vases that’s on this website. Please reply back to me where could I find this vase. Please let me know. thanks
I am getting married March 20, 2010 and I am planning a Mickey & Minnie Theme wedding. I am just starting out and I need all of the help I can get. My fiance is not able to help me plan because he is Stationed in Iraq until next February. He just asked me to marry him over the phone yesterday, but he said he will do it for real in October, when he is on his R&R. I need ideas for center pieces, wedding favors and everything else involved with planning a wedding.
kelly,
hi do you hve your venue? are you wanting to go with the mickey mouse color scheme? or did you have other colors in mind? how theme were you wanting? just a few touches or alot?
I would like a lot of touches of Mickey. We are still trying to find a Venue, which is a little harder since my fiance is stationed in Iraq until February, so he told me what ever I decide will be fine with him. He knows how much I love Disney and he told me he is planning on giving me my ring at Sleeping Beauty’s Castle at Disneyland, when we go in October, he told me that is where all princesses need to be purposed to.
I am choosing for my colors black and pink and white, because I found black and pink Mickey Mouse invitations I really liked. My mom is looking of a Mickey Mouse Shaped Pillow Pattern so that she can make our pillow. I want Mickey Mouse touches every where. Mickey & Minnie’s love is eternal and that is what I want for me and my fiance.
kelly, when you find your venue i will be very happy to do more research. i just want to make sure i can give you the right ideas with colors. cause the shade of pink can matter in the venue. youmay have to lighten or darken depending on the setting.
I love your wedding theme. My daughter is getting married on Oct. 3rd 2009 and she has always loved the mouse. We are doing her wedding in Red, Black & White. The girls dresses are black satin with white bands on the bust and big red satin sashes on the waist. The whole wedding will be done in the tuxedo and mickey theme. M&M wedding top. Black & White poka dots everywhere. M&M Ice sculpture. Mickey red choc. suckers. I love your idea of the pillow in the shape of the mouse. Please let me know if you find a pattern. I would love to share ideas. I know some people on the internet stated that they wouold not share anything about their wedding. I feel different, Let’s share. I may have alot of ideas that you might like. Kathy

* Show me your Blue and Ivory Flowers
( this site is amazing, chock full of ideas, including wonderful tablesettings)
keep it simple. have either ivory linens with blue centerpiece or vice versa. each place setting have a mickey mouse shaped cookie, it doesnt have to be in detail or even iced, i thought chocolate chip would be perfect!! put into clear bakery bags and tie with ribbon. right by the cookie have a simple colored bloom like fuschia or other color, no where else but here. for an unexpected pop of color. to keep it more of a wedding style, have mickey mouse invites, flowergirl basket, cake topper, cake server…..
* Minnie’s Dream Wedding Cake Server by Lenox
keep in touches here and there. have little figurines if you want. i would use s&p shakers. because you will use them again in your home. smile. you could even use them on top of your cake.
* Mickey and Minnie Wedding Salt and Pepper Shakers
have a kids table with kids food. have it covered in white paper and supply centerpieces of crayons etc. so they can draw on it. have the mickey mouse ears for your lil’ guests. have cookie favors for them as well. you may want to ice theirs, they will love the colorful face of mickey. and mickey mouse cupcakes it will be more fun for them. (plus all this will make YOUR theme stand out even more) keep their food simple. chicken fingers etc. google image wedding kids table.

Oh, I found the vases at http://www.disneystore.com or http://www.disneyshopping.com. Easiest way to describe it is just put vase in the search box.
We purchased some Mickey & Minnie cookie jars that we will be using for our centerpieces (we got them off of ebay). Our plan is to give them away to one person at each table.
This is for a Mickey-themed anniversary party (25th)
Those vases are awesome Ayme! So elegant!

We are having a Mickey themes wedding. For our centerpieces, we purchased the metal ornament trees that they sell in the 12 Days of Christmas store in the DIsney Marketplace. We then took clear Mickey stickers and glittered them and hung them along with Inspirational Words and charms hung from beaded strings. We then bought personalized photo bookends from Disney store.com and decided to use these for the table numbers. We are taking out the glass and the numbers will be on vellum. We are putting the tree on a mirror and the table number bookend right in front of it with a floralyte lighting them both up. We purchased Mickey flutes, a lenox piece as our caketopper and other things I can’t remember. We did the centerpieces on our own since we couldn’t find anything we liked.
My daugnter is having a sweet sixteen party and wants a mickey mouse theme. Does anyone have any suggestions for centerpieces or favors?
I am doing my daughters wedding in Mickey and I have made matchbooks for favors and candy dishes with a stamp of mickey and minnie then tied them with red and black Tulle. I also made the candles for the tables. I have had to get creative on my own as I could not get things in Canada. I also made the confetti. It may take time but I think it will be more personal. I also did alot of looking on the internet for ideas.
I just got married a few weeks ago, and I had a Mickey Mouse theme. For my centerpieces, I cut out wood pieces that were shaped like the silohuetted Mickey Head (the three circle type one) - I tried to make them to scale with some small paper samples I had. I cut those out and sanded them so it was slightly rounded, and cut the bottom off so that it could sit on a table. I painted them all black, and them painted a satin shine over them so they would shine and look more professional and elegant. Then I just took pictures of my husband and myself from our childhood and our engagement pictures, and pictures from when we were dating and so on, and used temporary glue to glue them on either side of the mickey head. That way now I can take the pictures off after and use the heads for decoration in our new home. It is quite a process, but it was a simple and elegant and FUN addition to our wedding decorations!
