Got samples and they are really nice. The cost for the centerpieces ($60) is way too much in my opinion. We found centerpieces for only $30/table. They are giant martini glasses that you fill with this clear filler. There is a light at the bottom of the glass (color of our wedding) and a martini pick that is the other color we are using for our wedding. We are having a lady in Mexico also do custom painted maracas...that is our biggest expense for the tables. I love the idea and the saying though "If you want us to kiss, then please shake this". The WC said that we get a dance floor for free, so I will definitely use that! Then she said that we get lights under each table to make it glow. I thought our centerpieces would fit right in. If you want a really cheap site to go to, check out Save on Crafts, Wedding Supplies, Flowers, Tulle, Lights, Decorations & Discount Craft Supplies Save-on-crafts. Love that site! Tutti... thank you for all the information. One question for you... so, is your plan to place two napkins (both the colors you ordered) into the wine glasses?? I'm trying to decide if I want to do this, but I have no idea which color to go with. My main colors are blue and green - I am also having maracas for each person in my colors as well.... it is so hard to imagine all this without seeing exactly how it will look. But, I do think adding the colored napkins would really add some color to the tables.... By the way, what are your colors? Thanks!

I just wanted to let you all know that I used amols for my maracas and I called them and ordered the 4 colors of my wedding. They are just like the ones from Mexico!!! They were wonderful to work with... so, I would definitely suggest it!

Okay... where in the world did you get your blue shoes I love them and want them!!!

I am wondering for any of you that are already married if you were able to send the Pastor a copy of the ceremony and vows you would like to incorporate? I'm so lost about this and don't even know how to do my programs because I'm not sure how he is going to do the ceremony. Thanks for your help!

Prettyhazardous.... I love your vows... what is the "Tasting Ceremony" Just curious? Thanks!

Question for you girls..... Are you writing your own vows? Will you have contact with your pastor or officiant that is performing your wedding? I'm stressing over this a bit... obviously, that is the reason we are doing all of this... for the actual ceremony and I want to make sure it is exactly what I want. I really want my sisters to do a couple of scripture readings etc...... What are you doing? Thanks!

I just got my invitations in the mail that Rebecca worked SO VERY HARD on! Thank you Rebecca... I absolutely love them and appreciate you hanging in there with me I absolutely can't wait for everyone to get them.

There are also a few pink ones at Target that I didn't buy, but I can go in the morning if someone needs them. I am in Houston too... which target were you at? Did you buy extras for people or are you using the ones you bought? Thanks so much1!!! teri

Great Pictures!!!!! Everything looks absolutely Beautiful..

I was going to do this too, but we are going to have around 50 guest and I am making OOT bags for each guest, plus bringing up my maracas and other favors for the wedding. Plus... I just ordered towels - yep, probably a huge box will be delivered. I'm thinking it might be too hectic to give these out to everyone... ughhhh I'm stressing over this. I think my only choice is to ship them... it will probably cost me a ton!

I am just now mailing mine... we sent a save the date card and so didn't feel like we needed to get them out any earlier. I am having my RSVP date be october 12th.... I hope that works
