Ideas needed to make a 30th anniversary unforgetable!

[pocahontas79]

Hey all,

I am perplexed right now trying to think of ways to recognize my parents 30th anniversary. I am heading to the World in October with my parents, husband, grandmother, aunt, uncle, cousins, etc... 10 in all when we are all present and accounted for. Well I do not consider myself lacking of information about Disney as I have been there numerous times and read this site religiously. But I am the sole person responsible for doing something special for my parents. And my mother knows this! She keeps telling my aunt and grandmother that she "hopes" that I don't embarass them at Disney and do something over the top to recognize their big day. They are taking the hint that she expects something. And I don't blame her! So fellow Disney lovers, tell me some of your experiences, advice, opinions!
Here's the ideas in progress...
I am considering making T-shirts with a picture of my parents wearing Polynesian resort tees on their honeymoon in 1976 with the text: DM and DD's 30th anniversary, Return to the Magic!
We are all going to 50's Prime Time on the night of their anniversary, and oh boy can I create a scene there I'm sure with the cast members recognizing the day!
Now does anyone know a custom t-shirt site on the web with affordable bulk prices? I have checked out Zazzle.
And of course, we will get pins at the park for them to wear.

I look forward to the responses!

Kristen

haven't heard of any other sites, Walgreens will make them, though the price is uncertain. As for an event to celebrate, I would suggest telling your parents to take a quiet stroll to the beach for Wishes, or going to Epcot for Dinner and Illuminations.

I suggest making the tee shirts yourself. I made one for my Dad for his 50th birthday. I just used iron on transfer paper and printed pictures onto it. You can get the paper at office max or someplace like that for about $6 or $7 for 20 sheets. I scanned in pics of him from childhood through then and put them all over it. His birthday coincided with Relay For Life walk a thon, so he wore it there. We had tons of people coming up asking about it and saying they thought it had been done proffesionally.

Also, maybe you can get everyone to pitch in and send them to V&A's for their anniversary. It's VERY romantic. If not I love the idea of strolling the beach during Wishes, as they probably strolled that beach 30 years ago as well.

I second GOAL. I used them for my DS7 on DCL last November. They were great and he had a ball.
I have also looked into using them for a vow renewal this November on DCL.
