Need a poem to put on the table where people pick up the escort cards??

Kelsy

Something like we love summer so the tables are named places we like to go in the summer

Or might do the tables places we have traveled have pics.

What do you think??
Place cards same thing, the card that have your name on it and tell you were you are seated.
Wow people are harsh on here. Dumb. I am naming my tables after places I have been rather than boring numbers.

Answer
This maybe over doing it a bit.. When people find their seats and they see the table is named "Beach" I'm sure they'll get the idea.. Now if you wanted to.. You can do a little quote under that name of the table.

Such as

SUN
"May our smiles always bring sunshine to our hearts"

Good luck!

What are some creative ways to display table seating cards at a wedding?

Nikky

I want to something a bit more different then the usual folded up in line cards with everyones name and table numbers. I want it to be creative but not expensive.

Answer
It would help to give you ideas if we knew what kind of theme or setting you are having at the event.

For example, for a beach wedding, you could paint everyone's name on a shell at their place setting.

For a formal wedding, you could have people's names embroidered or screen printed on their napkin.

You could put a tiny pot of flowers with each guests names painted on it at each place setting.

There are lots of things you can do if you think outside the box.

What are great activities to do on Kauai?

BobKnight

We will be heading to Kauai on our honeymoon for a week next month and I'd love to hear about great activities on the Island.

Answer
Aloha,
I live on Kauai! :) This is a list I've compiled over the past couple of years. The pages I quote are from Kauai Revealed, 5th edition.

Activities

1. Kayaking - either Wailua River or Nawiliwili Bay. Lots of companies to take you out.

2. Take an innertube ride down an old sugar cane irrigation ditch - Kauai Backcountry Adventures, Hanamaulu (p. 180). They also have a zipline tour which is a lot of fun!

3. Take a boat tour to see dolphins, whales, and other wildlife. Deli lunch is served on board -- I like longer tours better because you will get to snorkel and possibly see the Na Pali coast if you arenât going during the winter. Great views of Niâihau (the âForbidden Islandâ) and probably the closest to the island most of us will get!

4. Beaches - All of Kauaiâs beaches are beautiful and everyone has his or her favorite. Poipu, Tunnels, Hanalei, Lydgate, and Kealia are great. Polihale is an incredible beach on the far west side of the island. 15 miles long and rather difficult to get to, but you can take a car most of the way in. There is no shade here and the sand gets ridiculously hot, so be prepared! Best to take a beach umbrella with you if you plan to spend the day (takes a while to get to from just about anywhere on the island) so you wonât get fried. Youâre really close to Niâihau from this point and the views are fantastic. This is as far up the west side of Kauai you can go without a boat. It feels like youâre on a deserted island -- very beautiful.

5. Waimea Canyon - Mark Twain nicknamed it the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific." Very beautiful canyon on the west side of the island. You can drive right up into it and take various short hikes to scenic view points.

6. Spouting Horn, Tree Tunnel, drive up waterfalls - All on the east and south shores of the island. Easy to get to and quite pretty. (The waterfalls are named Opaekaâa and Wailua.)

Restaurants, etc.
1. Hamuraâs Saimin, Lihue (p. 214) - Counter-style seating, very local! Excellent saimin (kind of like Top Ramen but much better) with little goodies inside like Spam chunks, fish cake, etc. BIG bowls, very inexpensive.

2. Java Kai in Kapaa and Hanalei - Really good locally grown coffee. They make the frou frou drinks too, which I love. Try the blended mocha anu -- it has coconut syrup in it! Mmm...

3. Lappertâs Ice Cream - Hanalei, Coconut Marketplace, Koloa - The BEST locally made ice cream, ever! Beats Tropical Dreams from the Big Island hands down. Lots of fun flavors; my favorites are Kauai Pie and Banana Fudge. Totally decadent and not cheap, but worth every penny! If you like it and think youâll get more, be sure to get a punch card so you can get a free treat at the end of your trip!

4. Olympic Cafe, Kapaa - eclectic mix of salads, sandwiches, pasta...etc. Upstairs off of the main highway so you can watch the street traffic go by on one side or have a view of the ocean from the other! Open air and very comfortable.

5. Caffe Coco, Kapaa - Cute little outdoor restaurant with counter style ordering. They provide cans of Off to help you battle the mosquitoes and it's well worth it. Good food, inexpensive, great atmosphere outside among plants and flowers.

6. Kauai Pasta, Kapaa and Lihue (p. 213) - Really good pasta dishes! Very small catering co. with some tables inside. Friendly service and delicious food. Everything Iâve tried is wonderful but I especially like their pesto sauce on spaghetti.

7. Tropical Taco, Hanalei - taco place that used to be inside an old VW van! It has moved into a building and the food is great. A little more than you usually spend for tacos, but quite good. Be sure to stop at Kai Kane (local surf shop) in the same complex while you're there. They have great stuff to take home as souvenirs!

8. Tip Top, Lihue - Local type place with a mixture of Japanese, Filipino, and Hawaiian food. Their loco moco is fantastic! (Rice, hamburger patty, gravy, and an egg on top! Filling, delicious, and full of carbs!)

9. Dukeâs, Kalapaki Beach - Duke's is part of a chain that has restaurants on Maui and Oahu as well as in California. Very good food -- ono salad bar! -- and relaxed, slightly upscale atmosphere. 

10. Tropical Burgers, Poipu - Trust me, this is NOT the same as the one at Coconut Marketplace in Kapaa! I have been to both and the one in Poipu is far superior. Seating is in a plantation style building, all open air. I have only eaten breakfast there, which is fabulous. I highly recommend the crunchy french toast with a side of Portuguese sausage. Make sure to get the coconut syrup and mix it with a little maple...MMM!

11. Kountry Kitchen, Kapaa - Very popular with locals and tourists. Only open until 2 pm (or thereabouts). Great breakfasts, cozy atmosphere with chicken designs everywhere. 

12. Keoki's Paradise, Poipu (p. 219) - fun place! They have live music at times and it is almost always crowded, so make a reservation. Neat atmosphere. I got one of the best steaks I've EVER eaten at Keoki's! 

13. Roy's, Poipu (p. 222) - Fantastic Pan-Asian food. Roy's is a chain throughout the islands as well as on the mainland and we have loved every one we've been to! It's a bit pricey but totally worth it. This is the only Roy's on the island, so if you're going to Poipu and you want to eat GOOD food, Roy's is the best choice.

14. Dukeâs, Kalapaki Beach - Duke's is part of a chain that has restaurants on Maui and Oahu as well as in California. Very good food -- ono salad bar! -- and relaxed, slightly upscale atmosphere. 

15. Tropical Burgers, Poipu - Trust me, this is NOT the same as the one at Coconut Marketplace in Kapaa! I have been to both and the one in Poipu is far superior. Seating is in a plantation style building, all open air. I have only eaten breakfast there, which is fabulous. I highly recommend the crunchy french toast with a side of Portuguese sausage. Make sure to get the coconut syrup and mix it with a little maple...MMM!

What is the best way to teach you child ABC's & numbers?

REBE

Is 3 1/2 a good age for her to learn them? she is not very advanced but she has progressed little by little. So far she knows her numbers from 1-10 but only in Spanish she is struggling with it in English since we only speak to her in Spanish.
the magnets sound like a great idea ;)

Answer
Yes, at around 3.5 they really seem to start grasping some of these concepts. The children that have the easiest time learning them are those that have parents/car
