hmmm - the cost of the bamboo plants wasnt that bad

the vases i got at walmark - i think there were 1.27 each

the bamboo we are getting at chinatown -30 cents a stalk - each plant will have three stalks.....

the rocks we are getting in chinatown - will cost us like 30 dollars for about 100 favors

and the ribbon i found for like 75 yards - 10 dollars on ebay.....

we're doing wine bottles probably Merlot (the smaller one's, not full size) and the wine bottle toppers. I think I'm going to do the picture framed place cards or the votive candle place cards. (I think those are nice) that's like a little favor too.

I'm actually doing these heart shaped measuring spoons. I wanted to do these heart shaped bottle stoppers, but my sister used them for my shower! The website is myweddingfavors.com. They have them already wrapped in a pretty box and ribbon. Also, there is a store called you're invited to celebrate that has SOO many cool things..i wish i had found it before i ordered mine! good luck.

My inlaws wanted these so we did them-
I would have loved to do a sroll with a donation to a charity. ( you can't win all your battles- they paid for those as wll as all the traditional greek church stuff ) I like them, but would have preffered the donations to a charity

Friends did a donation to make a wish & I thought it was awesome. ( with scrolls & an announcement)

We are either buying the Lance Armstrong 'Live Strong' bands or making a donation to charity. Although the $ for the bands is automatically donated to charity. My FH is recovering from cancer and we thought it would be a nice thing to do. I will also probably give Jordan almonds and a picture frame.

i am doing ice cream scoops. i got them on ebay for a little more than $1.00 each.

i did not even think of ebay
they have things in bulk ????

They have AWSOME deals on ebay...I ordered my star placecard holders for less than 50 cents a piece. I won the auction yesterday and they arrived today. Here's a link to the ebayer's store...altough I think you get a better deal if you wait for an auction. He's selling those heart wine stoppers...think there were 96 of them for dirt cheap!
