| It depends on your budget, I always like the look of some kind of table confetti, if you have the money scattering crystals give a bit of a wow factor and I think you can get cheaper alternatives too. Rose petals also look nice.Wedding bubbles give something fun for the guests and are nice for the evening reception. Cameras for the tables are also lots of fun for guests.Depending on the theme of your wedding, candles can give a nice atmosphere but that might not be the kind of mood you are trying to create. |

| Hmm, that really depends on the budget. If you're on a tight budget, there are fun and cute ways to help people remember what table they're sitting at. You could name each table something different that goes with a certain theme. For example, if the couple is a huge fan of a certain musician (maybe the one that's singing the song they first dance to), you could name each table after a song by that musician or something, and make corresponding place and table number cards.Also, if the budget allows, you could speak to the photographer ahead of time, and see if it's possible to have them display the digital images of the ceremony on a screen during the reception so everyone can see them while they eat and dance. I've heard of this being done, and guests really loving it. If that's not an option, you could have pictures of the bride and groom from their childhood in frames at each table, with cute and meaningful little quotes about the picture from their parents n a folded index card next to the picture.Anything that gives the wedding a more personal touch will work. Good luck! |

| What about dashes of "Pink" fragrance from Victoria Secret? A little dab on each chair sash would go a long way. |

These are just things that come out of the top of my head that you might already have:• Candy favors- (something like personalized pink M & M's that you can order for munching on)• You could have butterflies released during the ceremony ( I went to a wedding that had that once)• Make sure you have a lot of disposable cameras floating around so that your guests can take pictures for you and your fiance for photo albums. You can't be everywhere at once to take pictures yourself That's all I can think of... Congratulations  |

| What about pink votive candles(except on the children's tables, of course)? It would emphasis your pink theme and would definitely add the wow factor you're looking for.I saw you wanted to have coloring pads and crayons for the kids. Depending on the kids ages, they might need assistance with their pads, and then the tableware starts to get moved around. How about a cotton candy machine for the kids? The machine rental and supplies are VERY reasonable and you can do pink cotton candy!!Good luck with your endeavors!! |
