I got the 4-5" for $6.00 per dozen. Such a great price and they are good quality!! I bought 100. If I had a smaller wedding, I would suggest the bigger size (5-6") since they are measured from the tip of one leg across to another and aren't as big as they sound. It will work fine for me since we have to lay all 100 out on a table and I need the space. But I think the 5-6" might look better if someone wants bigger.

Beautiful!! I say definitely use both colors. Is that cardstock that you've printed the names on or just regular paper? Looks great . . .

I agree with tying on just one leg, but I think they are great! I would use both colors so the table looks more festive. An idea, if anyone is doing this for an at home reception (or even at the DW), but sometimes the caterer needs to know who’s eating what (i.e. beef or chicken). A clever way to differentiate is with the ribbon. Blue for beef, red for chicken. That way you don't actually have to write out everyone's choice and everyone will think the caterer’s just know!

Jen, they look great! I would use boh colors especially since you are having so many people, that will look cool!

You could sprinkle them around your centerpieces, or on the cake table? Or, you could tie them to programs or something? They are really cute!

Ooohhh that's a great idea! I'm going to buy them and figure it out later. I like the idea of putting them on the tables!! Do you know if you can dye these??
