i am having a beach themed wedding in april. i have made a guest list, but am not sure on about 10-15 people (i am inviting them, would like them to come, but dont think they will. they will say yes to my face, but not really show) i am on a tight budget (00) and want to know exactly how many people will show so i know how much food, chair, favors, etc. to get/make.

i am going to send out announcements now so that i can get an idea of how many people will be there. my question is…

so, what kind of wording should i put on my announcemts to let them know that i NEED to know if they will come? i dont want to sound hateful, but i also dont want to spend 0 per person for someone who wont be there.
FOR ALL THE RUDE PEOPLE…I AM ALREADY MAKING MY OWN CENTERPIECES, GIFTS, ETC. MY BOYFRIENDS FRIEND IS IN CULINARY SCHOOL, AND HE WILL BE DOING THE COOKING. BUT, I DONT WANT TO BUY FOOD FOR 120 PEOPLE AND HAVE 80 SHOW UP. ALSO, I DONT WANT TO RENT AND SET CHAIRS UP FOR 120 AND ONLY HAVE 80 SHOW…I THINK THAT IT WILL LOOK TACKY WITH 40 EMPTY CHAIRS.

I am looking at having about 150 people. I have favor boxes and I plan on putting jelly beans and a couple other candies in with them. If you have done this about how many pounds of jelly beans do I need? I am going to get them from jellybelly.com

Also what other candies should I use with. i am using tropical colors since it is a beach themed wedding,
I thought about doing these colors along with the gummy bears to the left.

I’m doing a beach themed wedding in April 2008 with about 150 people.

I’ll be creating a “treasure chest” card box, with beads, fake jewels, gold wrapped chocolate coins…and for favors, I’m going to give away little of 5 gold wrapped chocolate coins with some sort of note attached to each. Thanks to a very clever suggestion here on Yahoo Answers, I may include one red foil wrapped heart with the chocolate coins…

I need a good quote for the little tags to attach to the chocolate coin bags.

I need quotes about love, heart or Marriage combined with “treasure” or “fortune” or “bounty”…"gold"….any of those combined. I already know the biblical quote with fortune and the heart.

Thank you all in advance for your help!

I’m doing a beach themed wedding in April 2008 with about 150 people. We are having the reception and the wedding all in the same banquet hall room. Our colors are Periwinkle, white and small dark purple accents.

I’ll be creating a “treasure chest” card box, with beads, fake jewels, gold wrapped chocolate coins…and for favors, I’m going to give away little periwinkle bags of 5 gold wrapped chocolate coins with some sort of note attached to each.

I would like to put a card on the treasure chest table, somehow tactfully explaining that it is a card box…and saying something about the coin favors….something beach related about “treasure” or “fortune” or “bounty”…(NO Booty…LOL) thanking people for joining us in our good fortune at finding each other or something like that…something fun that will go along with the theme. I also need wording for the little tags to attach to the chocolate coin bags, again with the treasure, fortune or something similar.

Any suggestions on wording?

I was at a wedding recently and their wedding favors were homemade CD’s of their favorite songs. It was a beach themed wedding, so it was full of Beach Boys and other oldies. I enjoyed the CD for a few weeks and thought it was a great idea, but the songs weren’t too much of my style so I didn’t keep it around.

I thought it’d be fun to do the same sort of favor for my wedding. Our theme is more of like a winery…so I was thinking love songs, maybe some of the more italian type of love songs. Would you like this? Or are there any other suggestions of songs we could use?

I’m doing a beach themed wedding in April 2008 with about 150 people. We are having the reception and the wedding all in the same banquet hall room. Our colors are Periwinkle,dark purple and white.

I’ll be creating a “pirate’s chest” card box, with beads, fake jewels, gold wrapped chocolate coins…and for favors, I’m going to give away little periwinkle bags of 5 gold wrapped chocolate coins.

I would like to put a card on the Pirate’s chest table, somehow tactfully explaining that it is a card box…and saying something about the coin favors….something about “treasure” or “fortune” or “bounty”…(NO Booty…LOL) thanking people for joining us in our good fortune at finding each other or something like that…something fun that will go along with the theme. I also need wording for the little tags to attach to the chocolate coin bags, again with the treasure, fortune or something similar.

Any suggestions on wording? More suggestions on the beach theme?
To clarify, actually no, I’m not going for a pirate theme, like I said, we’re doing the beach theme. We’re doing fish bowl centerpieces filled with periwinkle gravel, seashells, water and floating candles. The fish bowls will be surrounded by fisherman’s netting and more seashells. The wedding cake is "Under the sea and on the beach"…the first two layers will look like they are under water, with sea life and blue icing, the top of the second layer will be covered with crushed raw sugar like sand. We’re including our two dogs, so two dog figures dressed up with a bowtie and a veil will be laying on the "beach" and on top of the cake will be two palm trees in the shape of a heart.

Periwinkle and white are the main colors…bridesmaids are going to be in "Peri" from david’s bridal. The dark purple is only an accent color in the flowers. I wanted a blue color for the beach theme, but I didn’t like any of the David’s Bridal colors of blue other than Periwinkle.

I’m having a beach-themed wedding on a cruise ship, with teal as my color. I’ll have about 50 attending guests, I think. Anyway, I budgeted for favors, but started thinking I could make a donation to the humane society instead, like 0 and do photo bookmarks for the guests with info about the donation in their honor. Cool or not? Would you rather have something else, like soap or a luggage tag?
If you had any other ideas besides soap and luggage tag that would be good… And I can’t do any fire or food-related items, or live plants, since it is on a cruise ship and they have some restrictions.

OK, so I want a beach themed wedding. Here is what I am planning: Married at sunset, reception at night. Outdoors, white christmas lights, white candles lit, and white flowers here and there. I want a bonfire and I want the food to be barbequed on site. Not too formal, but still very nice.

I need ideas on a cute guest book, favors, invitations, and cake decoration. And whatever else you can think of!

Thanks!

We are planning to have our wedding on the beach, or outside in general. But we don’t want a beach themed wedding. We have been trying to find ideas where we can use top hats and canes, with a gothic feel. We were thinking maybe victorian or 1920s. Any theme idea would help. Our wedding colors are black, red, purple, sliver if that helps anyone.

I am having a beach themed wedding and I would like to give my bridesmaids something along the lines of the theme. I thought about flip flops but they all have enough of them (believe me they do!). Any ideas? something unique?

I need some ideas for inexpensive favors- I was thinking of doing the hershey bar favors with personalized labels, but they really end up expensive after doing them.
My theme is a beach-themed wedding, with seashells and sandcastle decorations (like an enchanted sandcastle wedding theme)
Yes my wedding in on the beach, but reception is inside the cottage:)
Hmmm, gold fish in bowls is extremely different. It is a little "too different" I want something my guests can keep forever as a keepsake:):)
Plus what if the goldfish dies before I can give them to the guests???
I did message in a bottle invitations, so I don’t want to do anything with sand in a bottle for the favors!!!
