Sooooooo true!

Very cute! they will love it!

Welcome! Have fun searching the site. There's a ton of great ideas and information. Best of luck planning!

I really like them all, but 1 and 4 are my favotires. I voted for 4 on your pole. Good luck deciding!! That's going to be a tough one because they are all beautiful.

Emails are so hard because you cannot tell the person's tone. If you don't mind them staying elsewhere, I would call and let them know. I would stop the emailing immediately to take some of the pressure off and make sure they know you do/don't care where they stay. Good luck!

gorgeous! the sample fits you perfect!

Maybe add some sand? I don't know. I'm trying to incorporate the Water Pearls into the middle centerpiece of each table, with 3-4 glasses/candles around that in a circle. *shrug* We'll see! What else are you putting with the candles? Are they part of a centerpiece on the reception tables? That sounds lovely! We are just doing the votoves. Since our reception is outside on the beach, I figured I could go minimal with the decorations since the atmosphere will be so beautiful. We are just going to place some tea lights at each table and call it a day.

Those are great!

That shirt is fantastic! I think Target should re=evaluate their assortment and start stocking this item again!

Thanks for the review. It sounds like everything was perfect! Congratulations.

I think our first dance song is going to be Crazy Love - Van Morrison.

Perfect song!!

What do you guys think about this idea? That's what we are doing too! One of my friends did this for her wedding and they were sooooo cute and people really used the fans because she got married outside. I think it's a perfect idea!

Amazon.com: Submersible FloraLytes - White (Pack of 10): Everything Else Search Amazon.com for "submersible floralytes". I think that's the major brand for this type of light. You can also get ones that scroll through several colors. The lights also look great with these: Decor N More Water Pearls Hard to tell on the website what they actually are, but basically they start as little hard beads (think caviar-size), and when you add water they expand to be almost the size of small marbles! They're sort of a stiff gel ball. You can put them in vases with water/flowers or even alone in a small fishbowl with a couple of LED lights - they look great! They reflect a lot of light and sort of glow, so they'd be great to add lighting to a night reception. I have a friend who owns an import/export home decor company, so he gave me samples of the Water Pearls (and LED lights) to try. Very cool. And since they're so tiny to start, they're easy to transport! Sorry this got so long - good luck! I'll try to post a picture of the lights with the Water Pearls soon - just need to find my card reader...! Perfect! Thanks!! Are you going to place them in frosted votive holders? I think that's what I'm leaning towards. I bought some printable clear stickers to print our logo on and have them set at our reception tables.

Nope -we are just going to wing it.

Very cute!!

cute! I bought a friend the hummingbird necklace. She loved it!

Welcome! You will find a TON of ideas on this site. Good luck planning!

it looks great!

We aren't doing reply post cards with our STDs or invitations. I have a place on our wedding webpage for people to RSVP. Good luck!

I am going to send my invitations to everyone that receives a STD, regardless of their SDT response.

Too cute! Great find!!
