Well, the HP 7.2 premiere happened over a month ago and I have yet to document it. Cam's going slightly nuts because it was possibly his most favorite day ever and if it's not on the blog, it's like I wasn't as excited about it. Although, that's probably partly true. It's hard to be as excited about Harry Potter as Cam. I think I do a pretty good job though! And, luckily, he found his hp soulmate. Someone who knows just as much mindless trivia as him and who gets jazzed up at the idea of embellishing random things with deathly hallows symbols: Allen. Just as luckily, I like Allen's wife more than just about anyone. :)
We decided to throw a bit of a party to kill time before the premiere. HP treats and a showing of HP 7.1 filled the night.
Naturally, the invitations were sent by owl. Cam and I made shirts. (Enter the awesomeness that is the silhouette + freezer paper. WOW!)
(I really wouldn't wear this shirt if I were going as "me." However, we were dressing up as Darth Vader and Princess Leia, so Leia would be sleazy...lol. It made sense to me!)
My adorable sister in law helped me make the mugs for butterbeer. The silhouette saved the day here too.
The spread.
Butterbeer Mugs. a.k.a. party favors.
Chocolate Frogs
Golden Snitches
My hot date with his SO GOOD butterbeer. Wow that stuff was incredible.
And then we left for the theater. Cam donned his mask and cape, and wielded his light saber. As soon as we walked through the door the crowd erupted into cheers! It was hilarious! We got our tickets and popcorn and went into our theater. Again, Cam walked through the door and people stood up and started singing the death march. Girls were asking to take pictures with him. We loved our costumes, but neither of us were expecting a reaction like that! Too fun.
We LOVED the movie. Laughed, cried, cheered, yelled at the screen. It was a blast. There's an energy at midnight showings that you don't get anywhere else. It's a blast.
Our friends' awesome shirts.
After the movie.
I have no idea how we didn't get a single picture with these guys. But they are some of our best friends.
LOVE THEM!
oh em golly. oh. em. golly. you made the best shirts EVERRRR
ReplyDeleteI have to ask...what is the deal with the Star Wars costumes at HP7? Looks like you two had fun. I couldn't convince my wife to dress up, but we did see the movie opening weekend.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT. LOVE THE PICS TOO. BEEN DYING FOR AN UPDATE!
ReplyDeleteLove your shirts!! What a super fun night!
ReplyDeleteDid Cam tell you he met me at Campus Connection? Might have been slightly awkward that I knew all about him and he didn't know me from Adam. That's what I get for blog stalking hahaha
I sort of am in love with everything in this post. Adorable. :o)
