Cocktail hour/reception project  - personalized straws

 

I ordered some pinstriped straws from Etsy (Sweet Treats Boutique) and made personalized flags for them.  I bought the paper for the flags at www.paperpresentations.com .  The paper is a Matte finish called Desert Storm).

Here is the generic template I used for the flags:

 

 

 

Once I completed my design on the attached template, I printed the template and used a paper cutter to trim the flags.  I used double-sided tape on the back of the flags and folded them in half by pressing the ends together.  I then slid the flag onto the straw & secured it at the desired position with the tape.  I then pressed the paper tightly together around the straw.  Once the flag was secured, I cut out a "V" by freehand.

I also ordered the following Thank You Cards for our Dinner Reception Plates from Etsy (That Pretty Invitation - Alexia Vondrachek) - they have been made navy blue with white print & personalized with our names.  I will post a picture when I receive...they are en route!  I am looking for affordable little burlap flowers to use to display them like in the picture.

I just picked out our wedding cake - same as this picture, yet green and white flowers instead of the pink roses.  We also ordered the anchor cake topper in the picture from Etsy (The Pink Owl Gifts).

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
