Star Wars/Harry Potter Wedding Ideas

My husband and I, being the nerds that we are, are getting married on Star Wars Day 2018, May 4th. We are planning to have a Star Wars/Harry Potter themed wedding, to celebrate both of our favorite fandoms. I'm just looking for any and all ideas one might have for fun things to have at the wedding...

My husband and I, being the nerds that we are, are getting married on Star Wars Day 2018, May 4th. We are planning to have a Star Wars/Harry Potter themed wedding, to celebrate both of our favorite fandoms. I'm just looking for any and all ideas one might have for fun things to have at the wedding to go with our theme. Our colors are actually dark green and neutrals. So far I've contacted our local 501st Legion to (hopefully) have some members come in full Stormtrooper outfits, I have our Save the Dates and Invitations picked out (see below), and I found an awesome poster for our guest book (see below). Let me know what ideas you have!

    What about cuff links? I'm doing "nerdy" cuff links for the groom since we're not tying anything else in with the wedding.

    I'm thinking this 3 Broomsticks sign for our bar and then lego stormtroopers for place card holders/favors.

    You could totally get your BP star wars/ HP tee shirts!!

    You get light saber pens and use the handles to hold your FH and groomsmen's bouts and add some HP-related charms to your bouquets.

    You could also have a star wars and an HP themed signature cocktails.

    Love all your ideas! We had a few little touches in our wedding too

    Our ring "box" (FIL held it since we didn't have a ring boy, so I wasn't worried about them falling off)

    and I actually used this idea that someone else posted a while back and had Lumos/Nox buckets for our sparklers

    Fh and I went with a space/galaxy theme and decided to put some subtle star wars and even ASoIaF (GoT) references in as well! (Mostly moon of my life and my sun and stars with Daenerys and Khal Drogo). It so kind of flows together. But for stars wars specially we have a cake topper and I will be having my bouquet have darth Vader' saber as the handle.

    I had bouquets made from the pages of books. We had an etsy seller make them. You could easily do HP! Hold on, I'll find a picture.

    Have you thought about opening your thread up to vendors? They go to a lot more weddings than we do in a year and have possibly seen some wonderful ideas that you're missing out on by excluding them.

    Love your ideas! I always enjoyed seeing the 501st Legion at conventions and events so I can imagine how exciting that will be.

    We're doing a subtle HP feel. Our ring box, cake (will just have Always on it), glasses and a welcome sign with all have "after all this time.... Always".

    I'm so jealous! I'm trying to do just hints of HP so it isn't really a theme, more of a undertone.

    I want to do chair signs that say "after all this time" and "always". And I've already hinted to my BMs about a HP themed Bridal shower ha! Unfortunately my venue doesn't allow open flames which kills some of the ideas I had.

    For HP you could totally do the floating candles form HP Smiley smile Gives a romantic feel and is a HP reference

    Our wedding is vintage with a Star Wars twist. Like what if Star Tours was Pan Am at their height in the 40s and 50s. We have been to plenty of nerd weddings with blended fandoms.

    That being said, I would put elements of both fandoms in the STDs and Invites. Doing SW STDs and then HP invites, people will get confused as to the theme. Also, remember, less is more. Little fun elements are great - lots of in your face stuff makes it more like a bday party then a wedding.

    We can't have any open flames, forgot to mention that! I loved GreeneBunny's wedding photos. I wanted to possibly do the wands as favors, but I think the little lego stormtroopers would be good, too. I don't know how we could do the wands affordably. We are inviting 118 guests. I'm expecting maybe 90?

    Oooo, nice invitations, Juliaette. My MOH will be addressing all of our STDs and Invites, so we will see what she does!
