How can I make a homemade sandcastle as a centerpiece for tables?

I am having a beach themed wedding reception and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what I can use to make sandcastle centerpieces for the tables.


Answer
I'd make it out of an air dry clay, like Model Magic, or if you want to do a castle with squared corners, make it out of foam core and low melt hot glue (for strength), then paint it with glue and press sand onto it. If you actually make it from sand, your chances that it will survive the reception are slim to none, and it will weigh about ten pounds. You can also do round towers out of mailing tubes....or go to Michaels and ask the frame shop manager for the discarded cores of the kraft paper they use for the backs of pictures. The foam core/cardboard tube is the most cost effective, if you are on a budget...and if you are NOT on a budget, contact me and I'LL make them for you! lol

If you email me, I'll send you pics of a castle we did for a summer camp project. Type in Sandcastle as the subject.

I think the theme sounds great! Good luck!

Anybody ever had a small wedding ceremony on a beach?

My girlfriend is from Romania. She will be coming back to the states to be with me and we are planning on getting married. She always talks about the beach and everything. So, I thought maybe we could just go to the local county clerk to get the license, then drive down to the beach and get married. Her family of course is in Romania, so there really won't be anyone from her side of the family, so we are probably going to keep it pretty small. Then maybe after we are married we can travel to Romania and show her family. Any ideas or tips about beach weddings? Thanks.

A girlfriend of mine had a beach wedding not so long ago, and let me tell you it was an interesting event! It was very simple- minister along with parents on each side and an additional witness on each side. I suppose these would have been considered a 'bridesmaid' and a groomsman had it been a larger affair.

Consider the tide! Especially if you're going to have any 'permanent' fixtures set up for your wedding ceremony. Many people don't consider things like tide and weather, especially if their party is small and casual. Are you having your reception on the beach too? That'd be awesome- maybe a bonfire. My girlfriend and her groom had a large dining table set up, and it was all decked out for this incredible reception dinner. She used this company she found online for many of her wedding decorations, and she had the cutest favors (great beach-themed stuff!). I have the site...they have the best prices too!
