Camper Decorating Ideas

There are so many cozy games now, and new ones keep coming out, but it seems everyone is set on the same formula almost like cozy was just one formula that has to have farming and building and grinding. You build a house, decorate it, collect stuff etc. It’s all mostly set in one location too, and I’m craving something different, something where everything is in flux and impermanent. I want the coziness of impermanence, of not being in one place. That vibe of relaxing on a road trip or long commute. Or some relaxed exploration with no combat to distract you from the atmosphere. These are some games I was able to find that fit the vibes I am looking for: Caravan SandWitch - This one is more exploration based, so it’s not really the typical cozy game, but when the world is nice and friendly, exploring can start feeling cozy too. Since there is no combat and it’s mostly chill driving and platforming, I think the vibe fits for me. The scenery looks really nice, and the world looks very inviting to explore. Sable - This one is the best looking hands down. Obviously inspired by one of my favorite artists Moebius, his art always invoked a kind of lonely but cozy vibe, and scenes from this game give me the same feeling. It’s also an exploration game, you ride around on a sort of levitating bike through a really cool stylized atmospheric world. And some upcoming games with a similar feel: Train Jumble - Really cute looking cozy train puzzle game. You are managing a train with different animal passengers which all have their own needs and preferences you need to take into account. Kind of like Is this Seat Taken but on a train, only you deal with the layout and the passengers. I am really digging this idea, train rides have always been peak cozyness for me. Cozy puzzle games are not that common anyway so I’m always happy when I find something interesting. Outbound - Looks like a really chill camper van roadtrip game. The van seems to function like a pretty cool mobile base because it can unpack a huge platform from its roof. I guess this is a nice middle ground between building a base and traveling. You get to drive through some really nice cozy looking scenery. Almost reminds me of a way more cozy Raft, without the annoying sharks. I am planning on playing all of these starting with Sable and Caravan Sandwitch since they are out already, but I was wondering if anyone else is into games like this. If anyone has suggestions for games with vibes like these I would love some recommendations. submitted by /u/Emmyy_Beans to r/cozygames [link] [comments]

In the early 2000s (likely 2003‑2006), I was flipping through TV channels late at night and landed on a movie for roughly 30-40 minutes. The atmosphere was so unique and unsettling that it’s stuck with me to this day. It was one of the first truly bizarre, horror-adjacent movie (with dark comedy elements) I’d ever seen. After 20 years of searching, posting on countless forums, subreddits (including this one, years ago), scouring IMDb, and even describing it to AI, but I've found nothing. I think I'm reaching out one final time in the hope that someone, anyone, can help me identify this film. It’s driving me to question my own memory! Below are the details, broken down by how certain I am of them. (If this rings even the faintest bell for you, please put me out of my misery.) What I Am Almost Entirely Sure Of: The story centers on a witch (or a fortune teller) living isolated in the middle of nowhere, in what seemed like a big circus tent or possibly a circus-style camper/trailer... Absolutely nothing anywhere around. The opening (or early parts) had this intensely eerie, almost hallucinatory "haunted circus" atmosphere. Like a dark, adult version of something like Pinocchio Pleasure Island. I cannot stress this enough (it was the most memorable part). A desperate, attractive woman visits the witch and asks for a potion to seduce a man she's obsessed with. The witch's lair was dark inside but vividly colorful, with a magic orb used for divination/scrying. The film had strong 80s aesthetics (clothing, decor), so it might be set in the 80s or made then. The witch and the protagonist may have bonded over manipulating/embarrassing the man. Faint Details (could be from another movie): A man drinks the potion and experiences derealization/paranoia in his apartment, including a specific scene of him removing glasses in front of a mirror. I believe there may also be a scene where he's brought to the witch's tent (possibly chained) or she visits him, though I'm uncertain if this is from the same movie. Key Clues / Definitive Memories: This is the detail that feels most concrete and unique. I remember looking the film up on IMDb shortly after I saw it, but I was too young and unnerved by it to save the title. The Poster: The poster was predominantly black, with a 'misty' or 'smoky' design in purple or green hues (1 of the 2). It had a very ethereal, ominous look. The Title: The name was not a simple word or two. It was a long, brutally random phrase. The best approximation I can give is something along the lines of: "All Men Are Naive" or "All Women Are Witches". Or similar even more absurd, proverb-like declaration. Language: I believe it was in English. I wasn’t fluent in English when I saw it, but I did translate the poster phrase (that one was in English) Also, the dialogue sounded like English (though I couldn’t understand it fully). French is a distant possibility, but unlikely. It was a dark, adult-oriented horror/mystery hybrid with strong dark comedy elements. What it is NOT: I've already ruled out a ton of common suggestions from past posts. Definitely not: Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, The Craft, Hocus Pocus, Practical Magic, The Witches (1990), Suspiria, The Love Witch, Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Funhouse, Circus of Horrors, Killer Klowns, or any big carnival/circus horrors like Freaks or Nightmare Alley. Also not Blair Witch Project or anything found-footage based. I've scoured movie databases using terms like '"witch" and "love potion" but no results .The movie felt very obscure/niche. It wasn’t a blockbuster. It aired on a minor TV channel in a late night “weird movie” slot lol ----- This film genuinely traumatized me as a child (and that weird feeling has lingered for 20 years) finding it would finally bring closure. This feels like my final attempt... if anyone recognizes this, you'd genuinely save my sanity. Thanks in advance for any ideas, even wild guesses! submitted by /u/decenbaroktombar1 to r/tipofmytongue [link] [comments]

(Even less if you don’t count the prenup, which was covered half by my partner and half by wedding funds.) In-laws contributions: about $4,300 because they wanted to throw us a welcome dinner the night before the wedding at a brewery; they also covered some decor, food for the campers (see below), and a couples’ massage for us the morning of the wedding. We invited 85 people and had 76 attendees all told. Long post incoming. VENUE: We wanted a backyard wedding at my in-laws’ home. We quickly figured out that renting a tent, tables/chairs, and dance floor (among other items) on the uneven backyard for 80 guests would be just as expensive as a venue (if not more). There was also the issue of bathrooms, parking, and putting a lot of stress on the in-laws. We toured a couple of places in and around Philadelphia, including churches (our own and another of the same denomination), the Maas Building, etc. We were trying to find a venue that allowed for BYO catering because we wanted drop catering — that eliminated SO many venues with exclusive caterers. We also wanted something that had both indoor and outdoor space, which was another challenge. At one point, when trying to think of how to make the backyard work, we drove past a girl scout camp and I started wondering if they had a space. I emailed the Girl Scouts of Eastern PA. It turned out there was a camp right on the edge of Philly that had hosted a few weddings. Not only did it have gorgeous wooded acreage, but also a little outdoor amphitheater and two large buildings — one gymnasium and one shockingly cool multipurpose area. We booked the entire camp for the weekend (Fri-Sun), including the scout cabins with 64 bunk beds, kitchenettes, and dorm-style bathrooms, for $3,500! We loved the idea of the cabins and being able to offer free lodging for out-of-town guests who wanted it, and continue the wedding with a slumber party and campfires 🙂 Even without the accommodations part, having access to indoor and outdoor spaces and a gorgeous reception hall was well worth the $3,500. A 9am-5pm rental was listed on the website for $500 so it would also make an incredible budget daytime wedding spot. The venue had round tables and chairs — ugly as sin, but workable. They also had a PA system onsite that we could use and an industrial-size kitchen. We didn’t end up using the kitchen for prep, but the walk-in cooler and giant sink were very valuable. FOOD & DRINK: **Dinner:** We first tried to get drop catering from our favorite Lebanese, but halfway through the booking process they changed management and stopped catering weddings! I posted in our city’s subreddit asking for recommendations and received one for a one-woman Lebanese catering biz who made incredible Lebanese food. We were her first wedding. She did an amazing job and gave us a stunning deal. We paid $3,800 for dinner, plus another $400 or so for desserts from her (we did not have a wedding cake). We spent an extra $150ish on Girl Scout cookies, which we purchased in March and stored in friends’ freezers for 7 months 🙂 We bought compostable plates, utensils, napkins, etc. for cocktail hour. **Other meals:** My in-laws generously took care of feeding the “campers” for meals: about 15 people for Saturday breakfast and lunch, closer to 40 for Sunday breakfast and lunch. We had a combination of leftovers from the welcome dinner & wedding, plus a grocery store/Costco run, disposable plates and utensils, etc. The in-laws spent around $700 feeding everyone for the whole weekend, but there were honestly SO many leftovers they probably could’ve bought half the amount of food. **Welcome party:** My in-laws threw a welcome party Friday night in my partner’s hometown for out-of-town guests and the two families to mingle. It was at a brewery/restaurant that provided a fajita bar, appetizers, and 1 drink ticket/person. They spent about $2,625 feeding ~50 people plus another $250 on fun decor (cute/embarrassing photo prints). We probably would not have hosted a welcome party if not for my in-laws, but it was a lovely way to spend time with people. **Alcohol:** We did not have a party of heavy drinkers. One relative is a beverage director; she designed our signature cocktail & mocktail and gave us the ingredients, quantities, etc. Before the wedding, my parents crossed the border into Delaware (where alcohol is tax-free) to pick up $685 worth of wine, beer, seltzers, vodka, and rum; plus about $130 at Costco for mixers and such. A friend made homemade raspberry simple syrup for us! After the wedding we had a bunch of wine, beer, seltzer and 2 bottles of liquor leftover, so we returned that to the liquor store for a $187 refund. **Composting:** One of our best friends works for a local composting company, so she drove compost bins out from her work and set them up / drove them back for free! (Hence our compostable disposables.) FLORALS, DECOR & FUN: **Purchased:** I purchased an obscene quantity of polyester chiffon from Fabric Wholesale Direct. Turns out I only needed 30ish yards of chiffon but I bought 100. Could have saved money here! (To be honest, the space was also pretty enough without the chiffon…) I bought dark blue cloth napkins secondhand on Wedzee dot com. We thrifted mismatched glass vases for the centerpieces. My mother-in-law owns MANY votive candle holders that we used, plus I found a set of 25 more at a thrift store a few weeks before the wedding. My best friend got married 2 weeks before us and sold us many items from her wedding at a deep discount ($200), including mismatched/thrifted china plates, polaroid cameras and film, an easel, acrylic table number holders, etc. I thought I would be able to resell a lot more of this, but had no takers a month after my wedding, so I eventually donated it all. I spent about $200 on signage at a local print shop, including a big welcome sign, escort cards, and some directional yard signs, but we printed a lot of other signage on my in-laws’ printer and we only sent digital copies of invitations. (We will send physical thank you notes.) We ordered a bunch of sunflowers and greenery from Costco a month or so prior, but most of the flowers came from my MIL’s garden or a local flower farm. Even though we spent less than $300 on florals, we had lots of extra! **Rented:** We rented tablecloths, high-top tables, water goblets, a bar, coolers, and bistro lighting (we rented 6 strings and only needed 2 — overboard again). Most of these rentals came from the same company as our staffing/DOC, the lighting came from an online rental site. **Borrowed, Inherited & Gifted:** Our friends and family were so generous with us. My brother-in-law brought a set of party uplights that he already owned. A friend brought extra microphones and a soundboard so that we could have music during the ceremony. My dad built an arch for the ceremony, which friends then decorated with florals and chiffon. My in-laws contributed many random items like votive candleholders, mini easels for signage, tablecloths, the use of their printer… My mother-in-law and her bestie spent many hours working on custom cyanotype fabric for our centerpieces! This is an art form they both love, and I had an idea to ask them to make some fabric pieces for underneath our centerpiece vases. From there the whole wedding slowly took on a cyanotype theme on accident, but it was beautiful. We made cyanotype cocktail flags, we had cyanotype-themed table numbers and escort cards and welcome signs, etc. We plan to make a wedding quilt with the cyanotype centerpiece fabric; so for our guestbook we provided cut-out quilt squares in white, blue, and yellow cotton, and bought fabric markers, so that the back of the quilt will have messages from our loved ones on it. When we send out thank-you notes, we’ll be decorating blank cards with more cyanotypes that my wife & mom made together after the wedding. My wife’s grandmother passed away in June, four months before our wedding, in a somewhat unexpected way. We were so sad not to have her at the wedding. However, she was very present: her estate provided a ton of decor items — picture frames, baskets, and a great majority of the linens for the “campers” (since it is a girl scout camp you have to bring your own bedding). Of the 20+ sets of sheets, blankets, pillows, towels, etc. that we provided for out-of-towners (many brought their own), most of them came from Granny’s. Additionally we discovered boxes full of INCREDIBLE and saucy vintage lingerie (think silk nightgowns), which sort of became a party favor for some of the campers 🙂 LABOR: **Professional labor:** I put out inquiries on Thumbtack to find catering staff and bartenders. One quote I got was someone who also offered DOC services (and rentals) through the same company/organizer. It was an AMAZING choice (and a great deal) to bundle all this and only have to deal with 1 vendor to coordinate catering staff, bartenders, DOC, and rentals. We got a 25% discount on DOC services (paying $1,125 for a DOC + assistant for 8 hours) because we were also paying for event staffing, and we got a 10% discount on everything for paying cash. Our DOC was awesome! I kind of wish we had her earlier in the day (she came at 3pm, ceremony at 4ish) but did not want to pay for that lol. She did handle a lot of on-the-fly mini emergencies, probably several that I never even heard about, but mainly our last-minute switch to the ceremony rain plan. We were told that since we were using real china we needed at least 4 waitstaff — I was skeptical about this, because we set all the tables before the event and the meal was buffet style. The catering staff did bus the tables and leave all the china and silverware to soak overnight so they were easy to clean in the morning, but to be honest I’m not sure if we *really* needed all 4 of them. I was busy while they worked, so it’s possible that all their labor was well needed. They did help our caterer set up a gorgeous spread of food! We also had 2 bartenders, which also seemed like the right number for ~80 people and given that we had signature cocktails. In hindsight, we probably could have skipped the cocktails and just done beer & wine to save some money. But our venue required a licensed bartender for alcohol anyway. We did sadly have some issues with the bar — we ran out of some of the signature cocktail ingredients pretty early on? But there was plenty of beer, wine, and seltzer so I’m not really that mad about it. For the waitstaff and bartender labor we paid $1,480 and we tipped $400. **Friends & family labor:** We had so much help from loved ones. We have a circle who loves to help, and I do think the setup and breakdown let us spend time with friends and family, but this certainly isn’t for everyone! My parents and several close friends of my in-laws came up early to help set up and run wedding errands, which was incredible. My MIL and a few of her friends took the lead on all the florals. We set up the tables, chairs, and table settings the day before the wedding and decorated the reception space. My dad built the arch on Friday and friends decorated it and set up our “unity candle” ceremony table. Several friends spontaneously stepped up to box up leftovers on Saturday night and put them in the walk-in fridge. On Sunday morning after the wedding, a slew of 15-20 friends had broken down the reception area, packed away the rentals, and cleaned the china & utensils almost before I got up. They also helped clean up the dorm and took home many, many leftovers. My brother-in-law was the point person for the “campers” and helped set up and direct arrival for everyone. My MIL and BIL’s girlfriend helped manage volunteers. Friends helped direct parking for a bit. Friends helped with our makeup and getting-dressed. Friends did the CVS run for our toiletry baskets (in case any campers forgot items). Watching the way our community showed up to support us was so emotional and moving for me. I know this is not the route for every person, but it was so sweet for us. The one regret I have on this is that the friend running our sound for the night spent way too much time doing it. Part of this may be because that’s kind of where he’s most comfortable (behind the scenes) — but in hindsight I wish I had paid someone to mind that for a few hours at least. OTHER VENDORS: **Photography:** We found someone with a style we liked and negotiated between two of their packages for a little under $3,000. It was 7 hours of coverage with a main and assistant shooter. The photographers were SO sweet and wonderful, they really calmed us down, were game to deal with the rain and even brought cute umbrellas for us. They did not give us a lot of direction on posing, or shot suggestions, which in hindsight I kind of wished I had asked for. (Not their fault, and we got lots of great photos anyway!) We originally wanted to ask my BIL (who is a professional video editor) to set up a tripod and film the ceremony and toasts passively, but that task got lost in all the chaos. Some guests did capture videos of us walking down the aisle and other videos of the night, which we will cherish. I don’t regret not paying for a videographer. **Officiant:** Our regular church minister (Unitarian Universalist) came out to officiate for us. Since I am a formal church member, there was no cost but we made a $100 donation to the church in thanks. I loved having our minister officiate; because she knew us both pretty well, she told a great love story (using questionnaires we had filled out separately). She’s also an old hand at ceremonies like these and could easily handle changes in schedule, ceremony space, etc. and play off any awkward moments. **Dance teacher:** We love Latin dancing and wanted to share that with our guests. We tried to hire our normal dance teacher to give a salsa lesson during cocktail hour, and she refused payment and said it was a wedding gift 🙂 We invited her and her assistant (also a friend of ours) to stay for the wedding & party, but she did not. ATTIRE: **Hair/makeup:** I did my own hair and makeup. I did my wife’s hair and had my makeup-savvy bestie do her (extremely minimal) makeup. I did spend probably $200 in new products and lessons, and I practiced a lot to make sure I could confidently do my own makeup after many years of being an almost-no-makeup girlie. **Wife 1’s outfit:** I am a crafter/sewist, so I took my mom’s dress from the 90s, tore it apart and redid it for myself :) It was an occasionally infuriating but very educational sewing project for me and I was ultimately happy with how it came out. I wore dancing shoes I already had, but in hindsight with the rain I should have brought some additional backups. I also wish I had thought more about my jewelry — I ended up just wearing some of my simple everyday jewelry. I think it worked fine with my dress, which was non-traditional anyway, but I had enough other things to worry about. Also, a sleeveless calf-length dress is a bit of a gamble in SE PA in October, but my mom had gotten me a rainbow pashmina that worked perfectly and I wore tights and a leotard & petticoat underneath that kept me plenty warm. I did buy a backup outfit, a gorgeous pleated white jumpsuit from Abercrombie&Fitch that I got on sale for $50 (but had to alter to fit). I ended up wearing this to the welcome party. **Wife 2’s outfit:** My wife knew she didn’t want to wear a dress. She found a gorgeous light blue wool suit on sale at Theory for $400, and will certainly re-wear the suit for other occasions. We didn’t know what she was going to wear underneath the suit for a while, but then we were going through her late grandmother’s closet and found a really cute silk vest — it just wasn’t the right color/size. So, I found a pattern online and made her a matching vest out of my mom’s wedding dress fabric too! She did buy new shoes but they were nice white sneaks she’s going to wear to work also. She also bought clip-on earrings for the first time and was so thrilled with how they looked. **Nails:** We both got very simple single-color gel manicures for about $40 each. Unfortunately my wife picked a bad color, immediately hated it, and went and got a second manicure at a different salon, so that was another $30 lol. **Wedding bands:** We didn’t buy any 🙂 We just had our engagement rings (2, we both proposed haha). OTHER STUFF: - Wedding license: $78 - Event insurance (Required by venue): $191 - Prenup cost: $1,192 — this is just my wife’s half. My legal insurance through work covered mine. - Hospitality costs: $220 at CVS and $70 or so on thrifted bedding — Since we had people staying at the venue 1 or 2 nights, we purchased some things like bedding, towels, etc. to keep them comfy. We also filled two “I forgot” baskets for the reception and the campers with everything from shampoo and conditioner to deodorant, hairspray, Tums, aspirin, bobby pins, bug spray, menstrual items, Q-tips, snacks, bandaids and more. (Now we have a huge stash of all this.) As mentioned, in-laws kindly handled the food and cooking/serving implements. FINAL NOTES/REFLECTIONS: - We had a non-traditional ceremony in many ways. My wife sang a song accompanied by her brother on guitar; I read a poem I wrote. We wrote our vows together and made each other the exact same promises, rather than writing separate vows. Our parents walked us down the aisle. We had a ring warming (of our engagement rings—no wedding bands) and lit a unity candle. There was not a dry eye in the room and many people complimented us on how sweet the ceremony was. I think we were only able to do this because 76 guests meant we were inviting people we knew pretty well and loved! - We did not give +1s unless guests were in a long-term relationship with someone we knew & had already met (with a handful of exceptions). One guest told us she was skeptical about this at first, but how awesome it was that every single person she met at the wedding had a real connection to the brides. We also tried very hard to make sure the seating chart gave every guest at least 1 other person they already knew. - In hindsight we overspent on food (both for the reception and for meals for campers over the weekend), decor (mainly the chiffon, bistro lights, and flowers), and possibly for labor (catering staff). - Using a nontraditional venue with no on-site structure meant we had to be extremely, extremely on top of planning. When people tell you that you can either sacrifice money or sacrifice time when it comes to a wedding planning, keep in mind… that time means you essentially have another part-time job for 3-6 months before your wedding. I did not have time for many of my hobbies and felt like I didn’t have the mental space to spend much time with friends, either. And that was even with a ton of help from family and friends. - We had so much fun, even in the tough moments of planning and during the day. The wedding really felt like us and our community, and we’ll be riding the high for a while of all the love we experienced for one another & from our community. 💝 submitted by /u/nicolecrucial to r/Weddingsunder10k [link] [comments]

I randomly had the idea to decorate the bottom floor of my camper for my helper, Ellie. Idk why I didn’t think of this before. I rotate helpers every so often so this will be a fun way to redecorate too! I thought about how our helpers follow us around so it would make sense for them to stay in the camper with us. It makes me a little sad that they can’t come inside the camper tho. I edited this photo of Ellie into my Camper but I do wish she could actually come chill ! 🤍 submitted by /u/Pom_Pom_Pinky to r/ACPocketCamp [link] [comments]

I eventually want to give my "Time Travel" camper a beach-themed look, but the idea of re-painting it is still a little too intimidating... So, I started off by making some decorations instead! ^^; The macrame was surprisingly fun to do. I went with a super basic design, because I wasn't sure how it'd go; but it seems like the thinner the cord is, the easier it is to keep the knots looking consistent? I don't really see miniature macrame that often, so, I wanted to share in case it'll help inspire someone here. The tiny shell hanger was way more frustrating to make, but I do like how it turned out. It's just one of those "NEVER AGAIN!" things, I guess.
