Good Luck!

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,
