our reveal

well after much thought weve come up with what we think will be a great way of springing the surprise on our daughters that we are going back to florida... (still cant believe we havent cracked and blurted it out yet)

ive bought personalised harry potter letters..which include an acceptance letter to hogwarts, a list of things a student needs, a train ticket for platform 9 and 3 quarters...and a ribbon tied map of diagon alley, the letters are written on parchment paper with caligraphy writing for efect...also it has a hogwarts wax seal to secure the envelope down.

now heres where we are still undecided... do we... put them by the hotel door for them to see on the morning of the flight... or discreetly hand them to the lady on the desk at airport and ask if she would kindly play along with the game (busy line behind pending of course) im leaning toward the latter ... what do you think dibbers

Your last idea seems brilliant... As long as you get a 'kind check in attendant' who is not too rushed.Personally we have some that barely look up!

Good look and hope all goes well with the reveal.

I love the idea of getting the airport staff to help, would make things seem all the more magical - could even secretly (when out of ear shot) say she's a witch from the school lol
