Then, we put the corresponding content under each of the flaps. Some of our guests had no idea what fortune tellers were, but it was fun to watch the ones who knew show everyone else how they worked. (just a little tip: give yourself A LOT of time to fold them and then put them in a briefcase that you handcuff to yourself until the day of the wedding...okay, maybe you won't need to do that, but that advice would have helped me! luckily, I had a wonderful bridesmaid and maid of honor who helped recreate them on the day of the wedding!) - Sacha Hi Cassandra,

Hubby & I didn't drink on our wedding day either (not that I usually drink much anyway). We just used sparkling apple juice in the pics. As for let it go...well everyone in the Flickr group's seen my poor patched up cake by now so I agree! Not much you can do! Thanks for sharing and congratulations.

I'm always amazed that people think they are <i>owed</i> alcohol at a wedding. It's certainly a lot more sensible in the Florida heat! (I'm in SE Texas; we have the same weather issues this time of year as y'all do.)

I think the alchol free thing is brilliant. I really like the picture of everyone together with the sun set in the backround. I love this wedding. I think the alchol free thing is brilliant.
