Old Fashioned Soda | Bring back the 50′s and some old favorites by serving your guests these yummy drinks. Have them displayed on a table for choosing.

Old Fashioned Candy | Everyone has a favorite candy from their childhood. Mine are Slo-Pokes. Mmmm… takes me back to a summer as a little girl eating them out on the porch and picking the sticky carmel on a stick out of my teeth. Pull memories like that out of your guests! Have a candy station packed full of Old Fashioned yummy candy!

Something We Love | Vol. 1

by Ashley Troyer on June 16, 2010

We’ve had our days of bubbles, butterflies, doves + sparklers… this idea, that is a custom in Germany, is beginning to make an appearance here. The main idea is to let a balloon carry a note that will eventually make it’s way back to bride and groom. You will need to purchase enough postcards for each guest to write a well wish. Ahead of time hole punch the post card and stamp it and make sure on the front of your custom postcard it says, “If found, please drop in the mail”. Hand them out to the guests when arriving or put them in their programs with a note on how to. After the ceremony, balloons are handed out to each guest to attach their post card to. All of the guests release the balloons at the same time. Hopefully when the balloons land they will be sent to the bride and groom by a gracious stranger. What a photo op!

Cost for 200 guests : $36 postage, $85 Helium Tank Rental, $49 Balloons/Ribbon, $130 Postcards

Total Cost $300 {prices approximate}
