Help: VW Campervan Ideas

curly07

Hi there im hoping someone can help me!

Due to get married next year and as my fiance is totally obsessed with old stlye VW Campervans that will be the theme to our wedding!

Now the tricky part....

I need to find ideas of things to use to carry the theme across the wedding. i.e invitations, place settings, favours, cake etc.

We are on a tight budget so my mum is helping me to make invites, palce settings and she may make the cake also.

Does anyone know where i can get VW Campervan stationary, such as: stickers, stamps, box templates, anything really??

I have a sizzix big shot, why isnt there a die out there?? lol. it would make life so much easier and quicker to make!

I had thought of doing favours as boxes in the shape of the VW, failing that just ordinary boxes with one stamped onto it. Then thought of making chocolates out of a mould in the shape of a VW, but cant find any moulds bar one which i didnt like.

Hope this isnt an impossible task, maybe someone will have done it before?

Sounds fun. No ideas but maybe a VW camper van society might sell memorabilia.

I assume you are having a van to take to you to the Church? Is it a camper van honeymoon too?

I remember I once bought some 'VW beetle' wrapping paper, maybe you could find some?? maybe make your own bags/boxes?

Hello fellow campervan lover
Not sure whether you have thought about having cupcakes, but saw these:

what about these as place card holders and the favour? :

As for favour boxes, what about having round boxes (hobbycraft sell papermache ones: http://direct.hobbycraft.co.uk/products-Paper-Mache-Small-Circular-Box-with-lid_16302.htm )

paint them white then attatch some of these to the top?:

Although feel free to ignore as at 90 guests most of what I suggested will end up expensive. Sorry.
I will try again. lol

http://www.volkswest.co.uk/gfx/buildab.jpg build your own camper, just print and colour and build. Could be modified to be your favour boxes, or just used as a template to make your own
http://www.justkampers.com/uploads/multimedia/ebooks/Colouring_Book/flash.html#/14/ i know its a colouring page, but may work as a template?

there is a company on the iow where they hire out vw campers oldstyle ones, an image printed out and maybe embossed would look lovely on invites etc,on ebay they have cake toppers for small and larger cakes,die cuts plus even a little kit to make your own vw which is quite sweet.

We used www.bigdaybuses.co.uk
I got my hubby these cufflinks http://www.mooch.co.uk/vw-camper-cufflinks
I have seen VW camper trolley tokens that could be used as favours on ebay.
There are also VW invites on ebay, even if you don't like them, you could pinch ideas?

You could get a picture like this and make it paler and use it as the background of the invites, place cards etc etc.
