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.

Life guards
Light houses

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.
