Fortune Bouquet

Anyone think about doing this? I may do the traditional bouquet toss and a fortune bouquet. It's basically a breakaway type of bouquet. You put little fortunes on ribbon on each individual mini bouquet and toss out one at a time. It's a very cute idea. Here's the info from Martha Stewart.

Fortune Bouquets
The traditional toss bouquet, when caught, tells one lucky receiver little more than that she will be the next to wed. But this distinctive toss bouquet is made up of a cluster of smaller bouquets, each bearing its own secret fortune that offers more detailed information about future husbands to a few agile guests. And for the bride, they form a lush bouquet of blossoms.

To Make:
Separate flowers into small bouquets; you can use one variety or combine several (we used roses, calla lilies, and ranunculuses). Wrap the stems of each bunch with seam binding, securing with a bow; leave ends trailing. Prepare predictions about future husbands— “You will marry the boy next door”; “You will marry your true love”—for the bouquets. Print the fortunes onto a sheet of fine paper, and cut the paper so that each fortune appears on a single strip; finish the ends in an inverted V. Use a straight pin to affix each fortune to its bouquet.

Re: Fortune Bouquet

I was thinking about doing this. I may do more general "fortunes" and invite ALL the women to come out and catch the bouquet. I guess it depends on how many single ladies are coming to the wedding, but I always feel uncomfortable when shoved onto the dancefloor with only a couple other people. Plus, I think all the married women would find it fun to be involved.
