Square vases wrapped in satin ribbon, filled with sandstone and daisy poms, tea lights in miniature tea light holders, thank you notes, fabulous jelly belly jelly beans tucked inside green flower favor boxes, and wedding advice mad libs. This is what guests found on their tables at the wedding. Check back for information about the favors, mad libs, and thank you notes.
Step-by-step easy crafting to make centerpieces just like mine.
1) Purchase square vases of your desired size. Ours were a medium sized vase we found on sale at Michael’s for $2.50/vase. Luckily, Ikea carries them year round at $2.99! (:
2) Purchase a bag of sand stone from your local home improvement store. We got a 50-pound bag at Lowe’s for $3.98. When you get home, be sure to rinse the stones clean. They come covered in an orangish colored sand. Go Figure!
3) Purchase the ribbon of your choice. Make sure you have enough to go around each vase, with a tiny amount of overlap. We chose the Casa brand ribbon at JoAnn Fabrics. Be sure to save up your 40% off coupons! (:
4) Scout out a local vendor with lovely daisy poms, or any flower of your choice. For ours, we used about 1 bunch per vase. Bunches are much cheaper if bought by the case.
5) First, warm up your hot glue gun, then cut the ribbon so it fits around the vase, overlapping about 1 cm (or whatever you are comfortable with). Place a fine line of glue along the edge of the ribbon to secure it to the vase.
6) Fill the bottom of the vase with sandstone.
7) Remove ALL leaves from your daisy poms and cut them to the desired length.
8) Add water and enjoy for almost 3 weeks!
(Optional - you can glue table numbers in the style of your choice to the vases. We printed numbers out on white cardstock then cut the numbers out using exacto knives. We then glued the squares onto the vases, allowing the ribbon to show through. Very classy, but time consuming, touch!)

So last night I had a flashback to Hungryneck Antique Mall from the weekend and thought of all the little old bottles they had and I had a the idea of using those bottles as receptacles for wedding invites. just rolling them up on old, yellow paper, attaching a string and boxing them up. Really rustic, really beachy..and really cheap :)
Without having that many people to invite, I think it might be a really cool idea.
Here are some purchasable ones, just so I can keept he idea fresh: http://www.hansonellis.com/message-in-a-bottle-invitations.html

I believe we’re all inherently selfish…and to some extent being selfish is healthy. You have to be selfish to protect yourself from being hurt in...
