27 of us will go to OBX next Summer. 13 adults, 14 kids aged 6 to 16. Some of us crave quiet privacy, while others among us want more nearby activities and don’t mind a more crowded beach. What are the good arguments in favor of one area vs. the other. This is a bit of a splurge for us as we celebrate a 50th wedding anniv, so we’ll go oceanfront.

We are having a Garden wedding. and for our favors we are going to by small pots and have our names/date calligraphed on them. We want to plant seeds in them and let it be a surprise as to what flowers will bloom. But we can’t even figure out what flower to put inthem!?!
Any ideas on A small (and will stay small) purple or blue flower that is low maintanance that we could plant in the pots?

We were thinking of alternating wine bottle stoppers & candy boxes at each reception table. There are 10 people per table (so 5 of each favor). My fiance & I love wine, so we chose the bottle stoppers, however we want to offer something different for those who do not drink wine. The alternating favors would ultimately save us some money too. Would this violate any sort of etiquette rules? Would it be better to stick to just one favor?

I am having a destination wedding on the beach in Clearwater, FL. I didn’t want to have regular favors because I don’t want people to have to pack them when they leave. So I decided on goody bags for when they arrive. So I bought little canvas backpacks (like beachbags) and things to put in them: a kite, a beach ball, a folding fan, and a can insulator so that they can use the things while they are on vacation but don’t have to feel bad if they throw them away instead of packing them and taking them home. Would you like this if you were a guest?

I have been looking around and reading about wedding favors- I have seen everything to very expensive -5 per person gifts and read about people actually just not doing them. I also was told just to give cheap cheap things like hersery kisses wrapped in tulle. I guess it’s because I am an artist but I want my favors to be nice and not just mints. I guess my questions are- What would you like to reiceve as a wedding favor and what was the nicest wedding favor you have ever revieved? I am thinking about making candles in little jars for my favors and I am getting mixed feeling on it. Like it should be candy or I should try to do something cheaper. Granted I want to save money but I don’t want to give someone a blahhhh favor.
Am I the only person who notices the wedding favor??

I was asked several weeks ago to be a bridesmaid in a friend’s simple beach wedding this summer. After accepting the invitation everything changed including location, date, theme, and attire SEVERAL times. With each change I’ve been stressed and helped her plan another wedding from sctratch. I was chastised through text messages for not purchasing my dress yet (the wedding is still 2 months away) by her fiance. She has changed the bridesmaid dress choice at least 4 times in the 6 weeks of planning. When I went to try on the most recent (and supposedly final) dress choice and realized that it was to be a "trashy" themed wedding I was appalled. The dress came only about 2 inches past my butt and was black and strapless with a leather corsette. I wouldn’t leave my bedroom in that. Am I wrong to refuse to dawn this prositute attire in favor of self respect and respect for my husband?

I am having a wedding in Charleston SC and wanted it to be a charleston-y wedding. So I wanted to put my favors in those muslin bags like the shrimp and grits come in and stamp our initials on the out side, but I cant find them for a super affordable price….

Thank you for all the supportive answers. I did tell her that I was not comfortable in it and she then showed me a series of 4 other dresses to choose from that were equally unsavory. She was very upset with me and I have been questioning my decision to speak up. I am glad to see that I am not the only one who thinks that being a self-respecting woman is more important than being a good loyal (doormat) bridesmaid.

Ok I have almost everything planned. The reception hotel provides candleoperas so I am not spending extra money on centerpieces.

The colors of the dress are bronze(light brown) and creme, and accent is blue.

Cake is criss crosses.

Favors: Sugar cookies that look like man. Last name going to be sugarman

Also wanted to do place cards that have there names attached to a sand shell. Is that too much??

Oh invitations have a shells shaped like a heart, so theme hearts and shells??

Oh and the wedding on the first day of summer so naming places we like to go in the summer.
Guest book, wedding wish bowl. Cutting the paper to look like waves. They have special scissors.
So should I do the sugar cookies or the place cards or both??

I can only find a poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson but I would like something different. Maybe a short poem but appropriate to tie onto flower bulbs and give away as wedding favors.

My sister is having her wedding on a beach front. Her bridal shower is going to have a theme of flip flops. I was going to buy everyone a pair of baby blue flip flops (since that is her color theme) so they can wear them at the beach during the wedding weekend…Is this a good idea? I will need their shoe sizes so how do I go about asking them in an invitation?
But im not the bride. I dont want to pass out wedding favors. This is for the bridal shower.

I am having separate favors for children and adults at our wedding. I want to keep the adults from taking the candy I have for the kids. Does anyone have any ideas for a cute poem or saying I can write that could keep them away?
