What did you have in mine for the girls? It would be nice to give the guys all somthing as well. I'm trying to think of somthing small and not too expensive that guys would enjoy. mmmmm i will think about this for a bit and get back to ya.

You could do candy if you wanted. I did champaign glasses filled with Hershey Kisses. I hope people enjoy them!

At Italian weddings they give all the women a crystal dish and all the men get a shot of zambucka (however you spell it) on the way into the reception. My mom lined up for both! Lol. She said "why can't I get a shot too? I like to drink!!" I remember thinking my mom was embarassing! But yeah, thats a thought!! Or you could give the men a little pocket knife engraved with your names and wedding date!! Good luck figuring something out! :)

That just gave me an idea! You could give all the guys a shot glass. Get them engraved with your names. http://www.wrapwithus.com/Favors/3406s.html That could be nice. But only if a majority of the guests are drinkers.
Or fancy bottle openners. I thought this one was neat! http://www.wrapwithus.com/Favors/109key-d.html
Or... a coffee scoop. That is always nice cause the plastic one can break or bend in the frozen coffee http://www.americanbridal.com/coffee-scoop-favor-dsfc4812.html
There are some really neat ideas on these websites. I kinda wish i had found these before cause they would have cost as much after the exchange as what i am doing now and saved me a whole lot of time and aggravation.
Happy Shopping Naomi!

WELL! my theme is going to be Beach-Starfishs. I was hoping to give the girls a tiny bottle with some bath salts and some starfishs in them, although i don't know what to give the guys.

Well, in the beach theme, and slightly along the italian lines that Shawna mentioned... you could go with a corona with a lime in the neck for the guys. :) I love the idea of bath salts! Maybe you could just give everyone bath salts and then guys can pawn it off on a female friend/relative...if they don't secretly use it at home in their bath tub with their plastic boat (sorry, one of my favorite episodes of Friends).

Welcome to the boards by the way! Can't wait to see how everything pans out for you!

Why wouldn't you be able to? You can fit any theme into any place you have it realy. Just think about it I bet you can make it really nice in that yard.

So i've decided to do my cermony the beach and have the reception about 10 mins away from there. my question is this.

I like my colors Purple and Green. I know it depends on how light or dark the
colors are but i'm having a beach theme wedding. Will the green and purple and my white go together w/ the beach theme wedding?


thanks!

I'd do a lilac purple and a kiwi green! In my eyes those would compliment each other nicely and look good with your white dress! :)

I looked those colors, the look great actually, but my only concern is if it'd be okay on a beach wedding set?

the wedding sets i want to get are ivory and they don't come in white~

sO i'M confused
