I don't have a lot to say today, but I thought I'd share the only thing really productive I've done since I started wedding planning. I contacted an artist on deviantart, Stevoluvmunchkin, about possibly making Bubble Bobble cake toppers!! I actually did this a week or so ago, but I just heard back from her today. It's still early of course, but she at least sounds excited to do it. Here's an image of the Bub she made for another customer. Just imagine that with a bow-tie and maybe a tophat (and maaaaybe glasses, haven't decided yet), next to the blue Bob with a veil/tiara and/or something bridal looking.
I'm also considering asking a second artist, Slycherrychunks, who did this version, but I can't tell what they're made out of. I'm not interested in edible cake toppers. The only thing I like about these better than the above is they're a bit rounder and closer to how I think Bub and Bob should be shaped. But, I still suspect these to be edible (not to mention TINY!). Anyway, I'm contacting both artists to see where my options lie. Fingers crossed these won't be too expensive!
I thought I put up this comment before, so if two comments appear now, sorry.
ReplyDeleteI think the Bubble Bobble idea is cute and I think if you keep it relatively simple, the video game theme would work without being too cheesy.
One thing is that you should find some good video game music, perhaps an arranged version, to use at your wedding. A friend of mine recently got married and she used one of the themes from the Harry Potter movies for her recessional and it added some personality without feeling completely out of place.
