Tissue Paper

Okay... In my comment to Candice's last update I wondered what the Tissue holders were for. Well, I figured it out (by re-reading the first DIY post). Questions still floating around in my head are the following: When do you give them away? At the church for the ceremony? With the programs? Who will distribute them?

I do like the hydrangeas on the cakes idea. Especially b/c there will remain a centerpiece on each table after the cakes have been removed. Are you doing white hydrangeas on white cakes? If so, how have you decided to tie in purple? Have you thought about table cloths and chair covers? And... maybe if you need something to tie in purple... you could do it with the favors (a little something letting them know about the photo booth). I'd also maybe have the DJ mention something about the photo booth just to keep reminding your guests to take their pictures.

I like the 'full' look of the felt flowers. And I think it's proper etiquette to have two envelopes for your invites...but I don't think it's necessary. Invitations come in all forms. I've gotten everything from an invite on a bottle of wine, to a postcard (yeah...those were really their invites) to a regular "Hallmark" looking card, to a formal invite with all the envelopes and tissue papers and invites. It's up to you...but whatever you choose... I'd really like to help. We're avoiding public places for awhile with all this flu stuff going around (We have our 'procedure' 11/25 and 11/30 which is why I can't risk getting sick). So... I've got nothing but time if you don't have any bugs!

  1. Ha- You were a whiz kid...I'm so jealous =) I was planning on having them at the church for the ceremony, not really decided where yet...maybe have a few at the ends of each aisle or something (at least the front ones for the parents and what not!)
    The hydrangeas will be white, I'm hoping to be able to get the decoration on the cake in a purple instead of black and I'm debating what else to do. It will prob be mostly black and white with not a lot of purple...As I still have no table covers or chair covers and Sean doesn't want me to spend money on them. I'm trying to work with the white tablecloths but I just hate the idea of ugly banquet chairs!

    You be careful and stay healthy!!! I'm so excited for everything- keep me updated on how you are doing and if you need anything! I'm probably not going to start the bulk of paper goods until my christmas break from school, which is after 12-11. If you have extra time, thats when I can use the help!!
