favor boxes w/ m&ms - need help figuring out how much to order?

i'm sure someone out here used m&m's as their wedding favor... i was planning on ordering the 2"x2" wedding favor boxes and filling them with custom printed m&m's in our color scheme, but i have no idea how many oz/lbs of m&m's i should order. the only thing i can find on-line is that the box holds about 90 m&ms, but that doesnt really help me since they sell them by weight, not number - haha.

anyways, if i have about 120 guests, how many lbs of m&m's do you think i'll need?
i was guesstimating 2oz per person, but thats 15lbs of m&m's total and that just seems like a lot - haha
i wasnt sure if the pre-packaged gift boxes on their site were including the weight of the package as well as the m&m's or just the m&ms alone...

good call on just buying a bag at the store and counting it out.

I would take a box that size and go to the store and buy some M&Ms and fill the box. They weigh them on a postal or food scale.
15 lbs of M7Ms is about right and the funny thing is they are really heavy. They are small and fit to together closely in the box so the box will hold more than you think.

Wedding Decoration Rental
What percentage of your total wedding cost did you spend on your church and reception decorations and supplie:

Please include the following purchases/rentals in your percentage: Centerpieces/candles/candelabras/archways/guestbook supplies/rental cake/knife set/wine glasses/flowergirl basket/ringbearer pillow/cake topper/pew bows/pillars/unity candle holder/moneybox.

You are pretty much including everything! Lets see, my total budget was $10,000. The church was $600 and the florist total was about $1500, and that was the alter decorations and bouquets/bouts. I used my tossing bouquet and some extra flowers as my cake topper. As far as the church goes, I used the church's candleabras and pew candle holders. That was about all the decoration in the church.

The unity candle was about $10. I used wine glasses for our toast and a knife set we already owned. But as far as the glasses for all of our guests go, that was included with the caterer. The caterer's final cost included renting the linens, silverware, glasses, and extra tables.

For my flower girl, she made her own dress. So she used the scraps from her dress to make a purse. If not, use a basket you already have from Easter.

All those things you mentioned (knife, wine glasses, a pillow, a candle, a moneybox) are all minor minor expenses. But the reception is roughly everything left over. In my case, about $7,000. I made my own centerpieces so that is included in reception budget instead of florist budget.

I better way to figure out your budget is to expect a little over 50% for the reception costs. Close to 60% of that (or a little over 25% of your total budget) will be your caterer.

Go to www.ezweddingplanner.com. They have a great Budgeting section that you can type in your budget and it will give you approximate percentages/amounts for each part of your budget. You can also take out parts you know you won't use.

Wedding decoration ideas are very helpful in creating the ambience for that special day. A guest usually notices the wedding decorations. It helps create that effect of how special and wonderful that day can be.

It is usually the bride who chooses the main theme for the wedding. She will be helped by all the female members of her family and soon to be husband’s family. The ideas coming from the groom is also very important. This can help create something that both bride and groom prefer.

There is different wedding decoration ideas that you can use but both bride and groom must decide on the theme. They both can choose from traditional wedding or something new. It can either be a formal or casual occasion.

The most important aspect is to choose what color would the couple as a main theme for their wedding. This will be the initial phase of the wedding planning that needs to be done. Then the accessories will be needed. Other wedding decorations like candles, balloons, flowers, and confetti can be added.

Then the conceptualized idea can be used in the church and reception area. It is advisable that the decoration is easy to assemble. If you are using flowers it is advisable to have them pre-arranged than assemble them in the church.

Another idea is to inform the guests on what are the dress codes and the main color theme of your wedding. This will prevent the guests from wearing something that might clash with wedding motif.

The area of the church and wedding reception should also be considered. This can help you decide on how your decorating ideas can enhance the place rather than make it look crowded. The number of guests should also be considered so that you can have the area arranged in a way that it will not get too crowded.

Kids are very energetic little beings. They are a part of your entourage and to avoid little mishaps with your decorations you have them arranged them to be child proof.

You also have to consider the budget. A lot of bride usually gets carried away with what she wants her wedding to look like. To avoid any problems always keep ion mind of how much money you have for decorations alone.

Researching wedding decoration ideas can be quite helpful. Decoration is one of the most important and stressful part of a wedding decoration. Doing your research well and ahead of time can help you avoid little problems.

Decorations For Wedding

What are some unique wedding decorations for a reception????

My fiance and I are getting married July 2008 and we have most of the planning organized.. My aunt is a wedding coordinator with her own business.. but we are just looking for one kind of decorative thing to stand out... (such as an ice sculpture) but we dont want to waste money on a big block of ice that will melt later anyways.. my colors are Red, Pink, and white. its not a big wedding.... but very nice.. we have a horse and carriage built and its white its for when we march down the aisle and take our pics standing on... cant really explain it.. but can you help me....

Use lots of white lights and candles. This will give a luminous, glowy look to your reception. Try to make the atmosphere look dreamy and romantic...make sure you and your fiance love it...after all, it is your day. Try peonies for your flowers. They are so beautiful, yet I don't think many people use them. Also, try to have a fabulous cake. everybody remembers that. Make sure it is beautiful and taste good too. Have you thought about a chocolate fountain? You could have 3 small ones. One with dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and the last one with white chocolate dyed to be pink.!

Is there a way to preserve icing decorations from a wedding cake?

They are beautiful large lillies with very thin petals, something besides freezing them?

Be carefull and let them sit out to dry for several days,depending on how big they are.After complently drying,carefully wrap in wax paper,pack in small box,and store in cool place....I have had mine for 4 years and still as pretty as the day i took them off...

Beach Wedding Decorations

Is your wedding day drawing near? Are you starting to get the jitters with all you need to finalize with the caterers, the logistics people, cake, flowers, designers, guests, etc.? How do you go about planning a beach wedding without driving yourself up a wall?

First of all, relax. Take a deep breath. Beach weddings are actually one of the easiest to plan, since you won't need much when it comes to decorations. Beach weddings are usually simplistic - the location is already scenic to start with. And your guests don't have to come in wearing ultra-sophisticated clothes. You can keep things chic and simple.

But the first thing you should think about when planning a beach wedding is arranging for the ceremony with the resort and your minister (if you're having one). Do you want to say your vows close to the shore? Are you setting up a stage? Is there a gazebo-like structure on the beach where you can all gather? What are the things your minister will need for the ceremony? These are the questions you have to answer. Once you do decide on these matters though, feel free to delegate the calling, arranging and scheduling to your loving bridesmaids.

The second thing you should consider is where you want the caterers to set up. Do you fancy holding the reception under the stars? Or perhaps, pitching a tent would be more practical so as not to expose the food to the elements. Also, you should be ready with a back-up plan in case it starts to rain. Though it would be lovely to go dancing by the shore all evening, if it showers, you'll need a place where you can transfer the party to.

Ideas on Church decorations???? help?

Hi everyone

My two best friends of 10 years or more can not be my bridesmaids at my wedding for particular private reasons (health issues)

One is happy to do a reading and the other is very creative and has a degree in an Art related course...so I have asked her to handmake my decorations which she was delighted and it will cost less as we are all students

reception is no problem however in our Church there are no pews, just movable chairs (It basically a hall used as a church)

What decorations could be made to make my little church look dreamy? I love pretty things like bows and pearls but we cant do pew decorations, I'm really stuck

My friend has suggested candles in laterns, anym more ideas (that possibly can be hand made or cheap things that my friend can glam up)
That martha site was very good its given me extra ideas on the reception and colour choices

I love the idea of the isle runner and laterns on the ground up the isle as our church is quite dark inside

You could always decorate each chair with a ribbon/bow like this.

http://www.laptex.com.my/images/chair_cover_and_chair_ribbon(b).jpg

Are you using an aisle runner? If so, you could decorate the edges of it with pearls, or, just line the walkway/aisle with the lanters (make sure the flames are completely covered as you do not wnat your dress catching on fire !)

Wedding Pew Decorations

Help with Christmas wedding decorations?

I'm having a Christmas wedding and my colors are red and white with silver accents. Here's what I have so far:

I'm doing wreaths instead of pew bows.

I have a lot of ornaments I could do something with.

My dad said he has big acorns that we could spray pain silver (but are acorns good for winter? ive only seen them incorporated with autumn weddings)

I have several hurricane vases, but they are the bottomless kind, so I will be buying mirrors to go under them.

Any ideas on what to put in the hurricane vases or anything to do with the acorns or ornaments??

I am having a Christmas themed wedding also. My colors are sangria and incandescent white with dusty rose accents. The wedding and reception will be in a hotel ballroom.

I have four centerpieces.

I am using bare branches (from the woods near my home). We are spraypainting the branches white and then coating them with iridescent glitter. I am hanging irididescent garland from the branches. I am placing them in large glass vases filled with marbles with a pink floralyte.

I am using wreaths. In the center of the wreath, I have the hurricanne vase with a small footing underneath it. I am filling the vase with glittered and iridescent glass ornament w/ halographic shreds in the bottom of vase. I am placing small votives at the perimeter of the wreath.

I am using tall hurricanes.

http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=301&langId=-1&storeId=301&productId=500793529&view=20&No=0&Ntt=hurricanes+&Ntk=all&search.x=12&N=1000450&Nty=1&search.y=9&searchUrl=%2Fendeca%2FEndecaStartServlet%3Fview%3D20%26No%3D0%26Ntt%3Dhurricanes%2B%26Ntk%3Dall%26search.x%3D12%26N%3D1000450%26Nty%3D1%26search.y%3D9&R=01905070

I am placing clear marbles in the bottom of each and using round ball candles in each. I am rouching white glittered organza at the bottom. I am going to place a floralyte underneath the organza to a "low glow" to the centepiece. I am putting a few glittered ornaments at random on the organza.

The last arrangement is a candlescape. It consists of ten candles of varying heights and shapes. They will be grouped around a hurricane filled with ornaments as well as ornaments placed at random on the table.

For the gift table, I am using a "tower of gifts"- three boxes atop of each other all tied together with a huge bow and long streamers. we are cutting a hole in the middle box for cards.

I am undecided about the favor table (thinking of small candy buffet).

For the bridesmaids, am attempting to make door knockers for them to carry. yesterday I purchased a $3 set of bangle bracelets at the local dollar store. I am going to wrap the bracelet with sparkly with ribbon, tie ribbon streamers of varying lengths to the bracelet. At the end of each streamer, I am tying an ornament. To complete it I am going to make a bow using the sparkly wite ribbon and glue it with the bracelet. (Big Lots had some using braided cord and silver bells for less than $12. That is where I got the idea from. They also had them in your color scheme)

The door knocker idea could turn out to be a quick diy project since you stated you have some ornaments to use. I am using random ornaments in my color scheme. I like variety, so they will not be identical. It also serves as a keepsake.

I hope sharing my projects have given given you some inspiration.

Pew decorations (pictured)...Do you like them?

I am wanting to make as much as I can for my wedding and I was just messing around last night and made this. Do you think that it would be a pretty pew decoration? My wedding is going to be pretty formal and my colors are white and black. The carpet in the church is red (also picture) but I will have a white aisle runner going down the middle. Do you think that the green in the pew decorations make it look to much like Christmas?

The aisle:

http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb200/anna_sfa/pewbows002.jpg

The pictures of the pew decorations make them look really shiney...but they are not that glossy in person.

What would you add or take away for the decorations to make them better?
By the way....my wedding is in a year. June 14, 2008

those are beautiful! you did a great job. i think with the runner, the red carpet won't be as noticable and won't be too christmasy.

Beach Wedding Decoration

A beach wedding is something out of a dream, with a beautiful deep blue sky above, a soft breeze blowing around, a beautiful sun shining up in the sky, white fluffy clouds hovering, tranquil waters in the back drop, and a general setting of romance and enchantment. No wonder whenever you say or hear the term beach wedding, you immediately get a far-off dreamy look in your eyes. Of course, for all the above to be possible, a proper planning needs to go into the beach wedding.

A beach wedding is chosen by most couple for the very fact that it is different from the usual church scene. It gives immense freedom creatively for you to design a wedding on a beach, making it the most unforgettable day of your life. Also, beach weddings are more often than not, much less heavy on your wallet than other destinations. Moreover, imagine spending the few days before the wedding in a vacation spot, and then after the couple has taken their vows, they already have a perfect honeymoon location, the place they had their beach wedding.

However, there are also some cons to having a beach wedding. The most obvious one is the number of people you can invite. It would not be possible to have a huge wedding where hundreds of guests come in, as a beach wedding generally offers a simple setting. You might also need to make most of the arrangements away from the place, and often leave the details to people who are at the location. The weather is also another factor to be considered before setting the beach wedding date.

All in all, a beach wedding can be a huge stress buster, as you can handle it in any way you like, not having to depend upon compulsory traditional and the like. And though a beach wedding may have both plusses and disadvantages, it is nevertheless a truly unique and enchanting experience.
