Wedding gift for my niece. I have removed their names for privacy. Look carefully, you might see some mice.

Found the font, or pretty close. My niece went the extra mile for you. Fine Hand Plain Finer. Page 40

sewmom says this isn't that same & she is right - but it looks good - I recreated the whole thing and I am happy with it.

The font is FNR in the Wedgewood font selection for the wedding invitation. This link takes you to the pdf of the fonts. That's all the information they had.

I found the hidden mickeys! Will their wedding be a disney theme, or are they just disney fans?

Wedding is a Victorian theme. Bachelorette party at Disneyland. Honeymoon at Disneyworld.

Nice sentiment. I think I found mice ears. I can't find the whole mouse. I must be blind. Ha, ha, three blind mice???

They are just the heads and you can see them better if you click on the picture to make it better. They are supposed to be hidden, like a game : )

sewmom by sewmom 30 Apr 2012

I meant make the picture bigger.

bevintex by bevintex 30 Apr 2012

I see 2 whole mice.

sewmom by sewmom 30 Apr 2012

LOL there are 7 hidden Mickey heads.

zedna by zedna 01 May 2012

Are these the things that look like hearts? If so I can see them but thought they were hearts!

sewmom by sewmom 01 May 2012

Yes, they look more like Mickeys in person.

I googled the Designs Newsletter February 2009 and found the scroll designs...I hope link works below..Sewmom, this is lovely...will you put a picture of the couple in the box above their names?

Thank you, finding them wasn't the problem. The links don't work. I put them in comments here so people can cut and paste the url. That works, I tried it.

It is very nice work - I was able to find the scroll next to their names - but not the scroll at the bottom. This is lovely.

what was the font that you used for this?

sewmom by sewmom 30 Apr 2012

Font is #30 in my PE design version 5.61. I know that doesn't help much. I matched the font that was in their invitation. Names and date are .39 inch and quote is .25 inch.

shirlener88 by shirlener88 03 May 2012

Could you find out what the name of the font is - on the invitation - the bride usually knows.

sewmom by sewmom 03 May 2012

I have asked and am waiting for a reply.

shirlener88 by shirlener88 03 May 2012

now, tell us - how did you get the mice added to the design?

sewmom by sewmom 03 May 2012

I put 3 little dots/spots together and made it into it's own design file then I edited them into the design.

by sewmom 30 Apr 2012

My direct links did not work. The lower one is from Designs in Machine Embroidery, Design Plus newsletter Feb 2009. The upper one is from Silver Threads Dec 2010 at Oregon Patchworks. You can try to find them yourself.

by sewmom 30 Apr 2012

For those that want to copy this I need to say that I did not make the scroll designs. They are freebies from the internet. I added the mice myself. I can put the links here but please don't copy the scrolls to digitize yourself.

The quote is one that is often used in wedding invitations
(although I'm not sure if "magic" was added by them personally.) So I don't think there is an author to credit.

They're well hidden, ok...I can't find them! But then I never have been good at that! I know they are hidden all over Disney World, but if my grands didn't find them for me, I never would! Only one I found was that black & white cow (a live one) that had Mickey's head in black hair on it's side!! But you did a great job of this!!
