Hi everyone,

I was searching the archives for some great tropical theme ideas for a
wedding reception and I came upon a post from Cheryl Rupple on March 28,
2000 with lots of great ideas.  In that post it mentioned having the bridal
party drink from coconut cups.  I have a bride who loved the idea and I need
to know where to get those.  I searched the Stump's catalog, Lauderdale
Paper, & M & N International.

Cheryl, or anybody else,,,,know where I can get those???  Or any other good
source for theme parties???

By the way,,,some ideas I found and that I thought of myself
were,,,dancefloor canopy consisting of 4 balloon palm tress connected a
seahorse in the middle,,,,could've been a fish, star, sun, etc....(bride's
choice was seahorse),,,I also thought of cutting  grass skirting a little
shorter and attaching it to the palms to make a canopy,,,but she liked the
other idea.

Entrance will have 2 palms with metallic gold foil curtain connected for the
guests to walk through,,,Cake table will have a lattice backdrop draped with
net,,,like fishing net with tropical mylars attached to it,,,2 lighted trees
on each side,,,cake will be a sand castle,,,,favors will be clam shells that
open, also leis will be handed at the door, palm tree & flamingo confetti on
tables, centerpieces will be tropical flower rings with candle in center,
swan ice sculpture on fruit table with grass skirting, treasure chest for
cardholder, and a few other odds & ends.  I'd like to know what you all
think.

Your help is appreciated!
Thanks,
