I really love the idea of the program fans! The shimmer paper is a great touch!

Thanks for the idea about the confetti. I am starting to build up quite a collection of paper scraps from all my projects!

Totally agree, don't go without the coupon (available through your phone app store too, then you don't even have to print them . Here in New Orleans the Martha Stewart paint was on $1.99-2.99 a bottle. Very affordable!

I came upon the shimmer paper by accident and so glad I did, because it really puts that extra touch on things.

Hi Ladies, thanks for all the great compliments!!

Here is what I have been working on this week since I only have 12 days til we leave and need to ship out all of our reception items to St. Thomas tomorrow

Lollipops: I had some extra logo stickers (free with vistaprint) and I was trying to figure out how to use them. So, when I was at Michaels yesterday I saw they had a pack of 24 lollipops in their wedding section for $9.99. I of course used my 40% of coupon which made them very affordable and will be a cute touch on our tables. I also had plenty of extra ribbon so tied little bows around the sticks.

Gift bags: I wanted our guests to have someway of carrying (without breaking) their sand dollar escort cards back to the boat safely. Yesterday at Michaels they had a pack of 16 bags for $2.99. I used my seahorse punch and punched both sides of the bag, put extra tissue paper I had in them, and attached the "Thank You" tags I had made previously.

Room key holders: I made all of our guests a room key holder. The card holders are from ID Specialist. I printed the tag inserts on white shimmer cardstock and attached different colored lanyards. Very simple and easy, and hopefully useful!
