    We are having a local artist do caricatures in the 'lull' between reception and evening do. Also having a fingerprint leaf tree where we will ask all our guests to ink their fingerprint onto a canvas on which there will be a tree outline drawn, so that we have a piece of art as a memory of all those who shared our special day.

    There's probably other things but I cant think at the mo LOL

    I'm in the process of finding out how much it will cost and whether the venue will let me do it but I really want to have a fire poi performer in the evening. It's a great show :D

    So many people seem to be having flip flops. This is a new one on me... are you getting married somewhere hot? Or is it just for folk who have worn high heels or something? Sorry, it's new to me!

    Favours - Lego minifigures (if I cna find enough interesting ones) ~£2 each
    Guest book - always assumed one of the bridesmaids/best man/MOTB sorted that, so haven't even thought about it
    Table names - may be chemical elements, but will have to be pictures rather than the real thing, but will be home made
    Confetti - assumed guests brought their own
    Table confetti - I'll think about this once I've decided my flowers
    Extra tea lights for tables - IKEA probably - not sure how much they are, but pretty cheap even with holders.

    I quite like the idea of pictures in the toilets, but I'm hoping neither will be that embarassing and my OH is a photo phobe, so might struggle. I also like the photoquest thing for the kids, but hardly any are coming.

    I think for the ladies I'm going to make some of those pandora style charm bracelets, I guess it could be a kind of favour! You can buy the beads and chains very cheaply off ebay if you arent too fussy and buy them in bulk. Not sure about the men though!!

    I know! If I was good enough to spin with fire then I'd do it myself but I'm not that good so will (hopefully) leave it to the professional!

    We've also decided that, if we get the go-ahead, we're not going to tell ANYONE that it's happening and it'll be a surprise show.
