Forget rice! OBT member Michele has created a more colorful and fun alternative for guests to show their enthusiasm…
Michele explains, "So when all the guests are seated for the ceremony, the four members of our bridal party will pass out the 'yay' flags so everyone can wave them as they wish."
"I wanted to do them out of fabric and print the designs, but time did not permit. Instead, I used some old and slightly sun-faded construction paper and ran it through the printer. This way I was also able to include our names and the date on the back. And instead of gluing them together, I ran them through the sewing machine."
And I say, YAY for these Michele. And YAY for your wedding this Friday!

I'm totally picturing Monty Python & The Holy Grail: "And there was much rejoicing! Yay!" If we were having guests at our wedding, I'd totally do that!

Did you have to glue the signs onto the sticks or did they stay up at the top? (doing this for my wedding
)

It's probably going to take a little while for her to check these comments because she's getting married today!!! So hang in there and I'm sure she'll fill in more details AND have pics of them being used at her wedding.

Hi! So happy everyone likes them. I put a few drops of glue on the sticks, mainly because I didn't want the flags sliding down the dowels. Then I folded the paper around, and did the stitching with a zipper foot- they ended up being fairly tight. It was super easy!
