I don't know if to use plastic or buy other table covers. I have had suggestions that plastic will look bad. I just thought it didn't matter since they'll be thrown away anyway. I bought them in ivory colors? What do you think? only serious answers please?

Answer
I think they will be ok. But remember if there is a gust of wind and you have candles anywhere near the table you might want to second think it. With cloth table clothes they are more heavy and they won't move as much as a plastic one. But if there will be no candles around go for it!

I have some sand and small sea shells. What can I do to make them into a surprise present for my fiance'?

I have a bag of some sand and another bag with small seashells. Me and my fiance' are having a beach themed wedding so I figured it would be nice if I made something for him with it. Problem is, I don't know what to do with them. I need some good ideas. Please and thank you.

Answer
Wind Chime, or get a shadow box and put the sand and shells in that. You could also make a table stand with them. Just have one with a box-like top fill it with the sand and shells then put a glass top on it. You could write him a small note on the back of the shells and give one to him each day. Buy him a bottle for him to fill up with them.

how much do you think small beach wedding would be?

me and my soon to be husband are planning on a small beach wedding and were wondering how much it might be.

Answer
A ceremony only would be fairly cheap since all you need is chairs for each guest. Also, depending on where you are located, you may have to get a permit to use that beach, which will up the price. If you were having the reception there as well, that is where the $$$ comes into play. You have to provide tables and chairs for people to eat at, food tables as well as heating and serving equipment for it, food and beverages (not many beaches allow alcohol, if any). Dj if you plan to have dancing, a day-of coordinator to make sure the day runs smoothly. It's going to add up quickly, even for a small guest count. But that is why many people choose not to have the actual reception on the beach even if the ceremony takes place there.

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!
