OMg...  it is sooooooooooo past my bedtime!!  LOL 

But I'm having a gREAT time!!!   It is so nice to feel comfy talking to others and not feeling like I'm an old fuddy looking at having a wedding!

I want this to be fun... something special for both FH and I ...   something he will remember always as he never had a wedding before .... something our friends and family will enjoy...   a celebration!


Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, cheesecake in one hand, rum in the other, body totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!

Dawna- You could put the programs at each place setting maybe.  I don't think that it'll look bare though, especially with the confetti.

Oh I missed so much. had to scan contract and send to the salon so they would hold my reservation for mani/pedis.

The duckies are so cute. I love the archway because its so nice and high. Some of those arches are not so big. I know my husband wouldn't fit through most.

I have to run off now to the gym. I hope everyone has a great day. Dawna no pucking tonight!

I was going to take the design from my napkins and matches and print in on my invitations as well.

You don't think so? I hope not. I jsut don't want to regret not spending more on decorations.
Thanks KPM, I am an avid scrapbooker so it was the first thing that popped into my mind. You can even find papers at walmart and such, although their selection is much more limited than a store that specializes.

I'm sure that it would be fine, but if you think that you need more on the tables then you should think of something else.  What about a few votives?  Or a silk flower tied with a ribbon at each place setting?  Or you could buy small paper plates and put a small roll on that?  Or print up little thank you notes and place them on the tables????

I think that the small tabletop grills would be the best way to go for us.  Any ideas for your tables?

I guess I will go with just the programs and if it looks too plain come up with something on the fly. I may find something to pick up jsut in case I need it before then.

Maybe I could fold the napkins and put them with each place setting and prop up the programs or lay them under. I had to fold napkins in all kinds of weird shapes when I worked for Rear Admiral Foley. He liked them to be different with every meal.
