I thought I was going to buy herb plants and then started adding it up--2.50 per plant plus all the pots at 5 plants a table was more than I wanted to spend. Luckily we're planning for next year and I'm kind of obsessive, so I did a trial run of growing them from seed--it worked great!! I found someone selling little terracotta pots for 40 cents a piece, so I'll be able to do the whole project for under $50 and have little basil, rosemary, oregano, thyme and lavender plants that people can take home. My only concern is where I'm going to put the 70 little pots while they're growing next year in our little apartment!!

We have both done this twice already and want something different and very cheap...any ideas? We are just having a simple ceremony for a few family members. Its in a park in Illinois also. We are having cupcakes instead of cake I think...so far anyway. We are both older and don't want a lot of fuss. We are getting married on Oct. 3 in an outside wedding.

Then everyone can take home the "lucky" bamboo. I want to do the fish with recycled blue glass chips and maybe like 5 peices of live bamboo in a 12" – 16" clear vase.

You can even have your names and a message written on them. I don't know how much you'd need, but you could check on the price. I believe you just go to the M & M site. Here is the link: <a href="http://www.mymms.com/customprint/" target="_blank">http://www.mymms.com/customprint/</a> They have golden, and cream. Hope this helps.

I'm thinking about putting pictures of us and other family wedding pictures(maybe in black and white) on the tables with green and blue squares of fabric under. I'm still throwing ideas around but I'd love feedback if you come up with anything. i'm getting married next May and going with blue and green too, but we're combining it with a beach theme.
