Ok, girls. I have some ideas to incorporate our Irish and Italian backgrounds into the wedding, but I need alot more ideas. My color scheme is different shades of green. We will probably do mini wine bottles as favors, but please let me know any ideas you have for incorporating our heritage into the wedding. (Nothing too campy please, i.e. shamrocks and leprechauns).

Or just adding in some irish music and some italian music. Also maybe at dessert - cannolis, tiramisu, cappuccino, irish soda bread, irish coffee, bailey's, etc.

Re: Irish and Italian
We had a bagpiper play as DH walked into the reception hall. We also had an Irish station at the cocktail hour with bangers and mash and guinness beer. We also had a harpist play during the cocktail hour.
We walked into U2's 'in the name of love' as our entrance song. We also did keychains with 4 leaf clovers inside as our favor.
my family is italian and FH's family is irish. we are going to have bagpipers at the ceremony and incorporate italian music into the reception (like the tarantella, playing 'ti amo' and other italian songs)

Re: Irish and Italian
Celtic knots on your stationary, Jordan almonds, cordial cart, Viennese hour, Italian-American lounge singers be played during dinner hour, bagpipers at ceremony and/or reception, traditional dances, etc.
