Something blue

I don't know how this just occurred to me.

As many of you know, autism awareness is a huge part of my life, and the autism puzzle piece is blue.

I need you creative ladies to give me ideas on how i can incorporate autism to be my something blue!!!!

Help! Lindsay?

ETA purple and pink are my colors.

Re: Something blue

This isn't too creative of an idea, but perhaps you can sew something into your dress? Or if you're having a FG, maybe you can have her wear a bracelet with the puzzle piece as a charm?

My FSIL is also extremely involved in the cause and is getting married next March, so I will let you know if she is incorporating it, and if so, what she does.

Re: Something blue

Maybe you could do something on the heel of your shoe? Maybe find an artist who will paint the puzzle piece on?

Good luck!

Re: Something blue

What about doing a donation in lieu of favor and have the autism puzzle piece with a nite saying a donation has been made

Or maybe you can find a puzzle charm that is blue and have your florist have it havg form your bouquet.

Re: Something blue

Well first of all - are you asking someone?

If not - lets get you a blue garter and make an awesome puzzle piece to be the 'charm' and make it blue!

I went to a wedding that had autism rubber bracelets and donation cards. It was a cute way of commemorating the donation and FH (who works with special needs kids) wears the bracelet every day to work to show his support!

Are you doing the walk Oct 2nd?

Maybe you can have your RH put out a string of blue lights by the two front posts as you walk in or you can make your signature drink something blue and have a sign with it explaining.

Re: Something blue

I like the idea of doing something on your shoe - Maybe you could get a blue puzzle piece and put it on the bottom of your shoe like those 'I do' stickers some people do.

I work with children with autism :) I like that you are incorporating it into your day - very sweet

Re: Something blue

Thanks for all the ideas!!!!! I knew you ladies would have the best ones!

For the donation- this is going to be our favor- we're donating to the EJ Autism foundation, and may do bracelets or pins to go with it.

I really want something for me, like on my person lol.

I love the shoe idea, but I am wearing flip flops the entire day, so don't think thats an option for me.

I love the idea of a bouquet charm!! or some kind of charm. Now to find it.

I am so excited for this!! Keep them coming if you have any!

Why not just pinning that on your BoK or if you want it on the whole time - and your dress isnt uber tight - you can pin it to a plain garter with a blue ribbon bow underneath it.

Re: Something blue

The link isn't working

But i love the idea. I think I will find a charm to go on my bok!

I do like the garter idea also, but I was planning on doing a Mets garter since FH is a huge mets fan and I am a huge Braves fan.

Re: Something blue

The BoK charm is a really nice idea.
