My wedding is in July of '08. We are having a beach themed wedding and our reception is going to be outside in a large white tent. I need to know what kind of fabric to use as the table cloths. I'm planning on having them aqua/turquoise and lime and purchasing the fabric from joann fabrics. I might have them white with a lime or turquoise runner down the middle. Any help is appreciated.
Answer
A crepe fabric, or a crepe-backed satin fabric would look very nice. The satin is shiny though, so if food is spilled, or drinks, it will show different coloration on the spots until it's washed later.
Crepe is actually a weave of fabric, but it comes in pretty much every color.

Creative place card ideas?

It's for a tropical themed event. I need something to put on the tables so guests know where to sit/what table to sit at. Anything creative other than plain old cards?
Also, where can I buy place cards?
Answer
Floral outlets, wedding planning outlets, business supplies, party supply outlets should have place cards.
OR
Do a Napkin holder band with room for name, decorate with tropical flower.
OR
Make a variety of "tents" place holders using a program such as Print Shop. Create a Postcard that can be folded in half thus creating your tent. Hand write name on tents.
Depending on number of people, choose a variety of graphics that go with your theme. Print on heavy weight paper. Can vary colors.
Cut out, fold.
Table for four would use one set of graphics if you want to theme the tables themselves.
Beach
Sunbathing
Sandcastle
Sunset
Life guards
Light houses
Luau
Music and beach dancing
Beach volley ball
Beach chair, towel, shade
Palm trees, coconut, pineapple
Variety of sea shells
Different pictures of sea shell decorations
Sea gulls and sand pipers
Beach scenes and waves
Can place Candles in sand on/in appropriate dish.
Palm leaf place mat; straw place mats; beach mat for runner on buffet table. New kids sand toys as decor on tables.
Hula dressed Barbie type dolls. Decorated Conch shells.
Palm tree centerpiece. Sand art cake with Non-real seashell decoration. Tint icing sand color, decorate shaped cake on top of larger flat layer, garnish with footprints, sea shells, sand tops, tiny flip flops. Can have table cloths with tiny footprints walking across sand. Enlist small children for this one, beige table cloths with darker beige paint for foot prints.
Have a beach decorated CANVAS for those attending to sign in a darker sand color of course. Can be a door prize or be gifted to the person or organization in whose honor the event is being held.
