Throwback Thursday: Silhouettes as Memorabilia

August 1, 2013 in All Posts, Jessica, shopping tips, Tips & Tricks for Families by Jessica McConnel
One of my very favorite things about Disneyland (and obviously Walt Disney World) are the souvenirs and memorabilia that you bring home from your trip that will forever be a reminder of the wonderful memories you made. 
For this Throwback Thursday (#TBT) I thought it would be fun to share some “throwback” silhouettes my family has had made on our Disney vacations through the years.

Silhouette circa 1974

The silhouette that started it all – this silhouette was made on a trip my parents took to celebrate their first anniversary.


Silhouette circa 1984

Somewhat later, I came along and my love affair with Disney began when my parents starting bringing me to the parks – I think I was about two years old here, it wasn’t my first visit – I am told – but I love having this keepsake. (Notice how the border art changed between these two silhouettes, but has remained the same since)


The silhouette tradition continued when my husband and I had our silhouette made on our honeymoon. (I love how the silhouette’s say which park you visited!)

Silhouette circa 2003

Silhouette circa 2009
And, I couldn’t leave Disneyland without commemorating my son’s first visit at 4 months old with his very own silhouette.
 Memorabilia such as this is such a sweet reminder to me of family, tradition, and Disney! Happy Throwback Thursday from my family to yours!

How I style my silhouette – for reader Katie!

    I’ve always wanted to do these, but where do you put them after they’re done? Do you hang them up somewhere fun in your home? Just curious!

    Hey Katie – You get two, so either give one to the grandparents or tuck it away with keepsakes. My honeymoon silhouette is framed and currently sitting on my mantle with a collection of other items – but the rest of the time it’s hanging on my bedroom wall. My intention is to get a silhouette done of both of my kids, and hang them either in their hallway, bathroom, or next to each of their doors – lots of options for those!
