Harry Potter Theme is Tough!

So out of the blue, the FI decided that we should have a Harry Potter theme for our wedding. Can't lie, I'm more than happy to oblige since I've been a bit obsessed longer than he has. Unfortunately for him our budget isn't in the millions, so we're going to have to make a lot of compromises certain things. 

One of them being the invitations. I found some that would have been perfect, but at a price of over $1000 for 100+ it's a little rich for my blood. So, aside from etsy does anyone know where I can find Harry Potter-esque wedding invitations, either online or in store? I've already tried weddingpaperdivas and a few other sites here in Ottawa (Canada), but so far I haven't found anything. 

Any kind of help from you lovely ladies (and some gents) would be amazing! 

Have you thought about making your own invites? Its time comsuming but you have a better chance at getting what you want!!

This would be cute for table names!

You could also find tall candles sticks at dollar tree or find some twigs in your back yard and use them as "wands" and hang them up like the picture..

It would be very simple for you to find the hat from Harry Potter and use them as centerpieces try thrift stores or check ebay!

These are cute cake pops!

Im sure you could find this on ebay! or Etsy!!

maybe different BM dresses for each BM to represent the different houses..

And all of the pictures I found for some inspiration were on google Im sorry IDK what website they came from but I HTH!

OMG!!!! I absolutely LOVE all of those ideas. As silly as this sounds, I didn't even think of designing my own. Totally escaped my mind!

Hm, I think you've given a nice little job to start on now <3!!!!!!

What a cool theme! I hope you both have a lot of fun doing this! It will be a project for sure, but it will all pay off! 

You should follow When Geeks Wed's Harry Potter Pinterest Board for inspiration. And search on Offbeat Bride!

As for invitations, you might be able to find someone to design them for you. I was going to suggest Etsy's Alchemy feature, but it looks like they removed it! :O That's a shame cause it was a good way to find artists and crafters. You can make posts on classifieds, state your budget and your needs and maybe an artist will email you!

Oh I have a concept idea, something with an owl so it's like they're delivering them a special letter!

I can't wait to see more! It sounds like a cool wedding already!

Ohhh how awesome!! I love Harry Potter. I have no good ideas but have fun with this!! Lots of pictures too!!
