Those blue drinks look awesome! That's what I was thinking with oranges on the side of the glass. Although I have no idea what kind of drink that would go with!

But I am having a hard time picturing how it would be set up. Just wondering what everyone else is planning on doing. For those of you who have chosen to use it towards a welcome dinner instead, what does that mean? Will you have a set up similar to the cocktail hour?

I was hoping to have my cocktail hour at the jacuzzi area if they could put the cover over it. I just emailed Ana with the question about the cocktail hour and asked if she had any pictures of a cocktail hour that has taken place. I like the idea of having it in the garden too! I will let you know what she says.

Hope that helps

Thank you!!! I will definitely be looking into that this weekend!

I am planning on shredding paper in our wedding colors and having that as the "padding" in the shipping boxes. So each person we are inviting will get a package in the mail instead of an envelope. We are requesting our guests respond by May 1st even though our wedding isn't until the end of October. But I need to get a handle on a budget. We are hopefully sending them out by the end of January.

I LOVE the message in a bottle idea. I am going to try to incorporate somewhere into the wedding. Thanks for sharing!! When you get them finished, please post a picture.
