So I've just started really trying to get ideas for our wedding. We'll be signing at our venue for December 21st or December 22nd, I just have to check with our Church to make sure of the date. But we're trying to get a whole Winter/Goth/End of the world theme. I've been playing with dark blue, dark purple, silver, black, and white for possible colors. I'm thinking no red since its so close to Christmas. We won't be having many flowers, most centerpieces will be tree centerpieces and candles with blue uplighting in the ballroom. I know I'm definitely going to be giving out end of the world "survival kits" for out of town guests. I'm just kinda stuck atm for where to go. I was hoping someone might have some suggestions for things we could do, especially for pulling in the end of the world idea.

That's a fun idea, but I wouldn't go too overboard, theme-wise.  Maybe you can do something fun with the invitations, menus and/or escort cards.  I found this on Amazon, it looks like a tongue in cheek book about the end of the world and preparations you can make:
http://www.amazon.com/Pocket-Guide-Apocalypse-Official-Manual/dp/0976035715
I thought the book cover was hysterical-maybe you can incorporate something like this somehow.
You could give cigars as favors-isn't that kind of a "well that's it, let's light up" kinda thing?
Maybe you can get a custom "bunker" cake topper, that would be hilarious. 

That's all I got. :)

Yeah, I know what you mean about not going over board with the theme. Just trying to get ideas and see what blends together and what I will just have to put aside.

On another note, I love your ideas! You definitely get what we're trying to do.

Thanks

You could get pretty depressing depending on your guests sense of humor but my fiance and I thought these ideas were funny
during the ceremony "Do you promise to love and cherish eachother until the end of the world and beyond?" or "Do you promise to love only eachother for all the rest of...today"
Instead of the first dance you could have the last dance, one last drink, a second piece of cake ( you won't be around to see the consequences). A "survivors brunch" the next morning

this site has some pretty funny ideas (Aluminum party hats to reflect the solar flares)

If this is late night reception you could have a new years eve style count down to the 'end of the world' and drop confetti and have toasts at midnight!
