| 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,
