check out party city and even target. i’m sure they have a lot of affordable luau decorations. as for food, fresh fruit, mahi mahi fish, refreshing tropical drinks.. sounds like it’s going to be a fun bridal shower! make sure to order a leis for the bride to be. i just did a quick search for you re: favors and decor.

tea, you could get the lei’s, grass skirts, those tiki lights, pineapples, hawaiian shirts, coconut bras…etc
My father has recently passed and I would like to include him on the wedding invitation. I have yet to find a nicely worded example. I understand that it is a happy occasion and etiquette recommends that the deceased be ommitted but etiquette ain’t getting married I AM and I would like to have my dad’s name on the invite!
suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Bee…..
thanks for the help!
Can anyone suggest a good (free) picture mosaic maker? The mac one prevoiusly featured looks great except I don’t have access to a mac. TIA!
sorry no tips, but i love the idea of a hawaiian theme. so much fun!
I can not recall the exact wording of what I used on my invitation, but I can remember how I called out my dad.. I too wanted him to be on my invitation…
The honour of your attendance is requested
at the wedding of

Hi - I just got engaged last month and am starting to think about venues. There’s just so much out there and hard to pick a place to start. We’re keeping our options open right now so our starting point encompasses NYC, Long Island, Hudson Valley, etc. (anything within a reasonable commute from Manhattan).
i’m wondering if anyone is willing to share their research on reception venues in NYC/broader NYC - whether it be notes they jotted down when visiting venues or an excel sheet of details. I’m sure I’m not the only excel nut out there!
Thanks so much!
tea! Check out http://www.orientaltrading.com they have TONS of hawaiian stuff!
JL. I’m getting married in Westbury Manor, LI (about 30 mins away from Manhattan) I’m not sure what type of wedding you’re envisioning but we’ll be doing an outdoor ceremony & cocktail followed by indoor reception in September 07. I love the place. It used to be a mansion now converted into a catering hall. We only looked at 6 venues. http://www.liweddings.com is a good source to look up venues with info. for the Long Island area. The two main factors I kept in mind was price and the look of the place.
Let me know if you have more questions.. Happy to help! Good luck!
katie, i’m sorry for your loss. my mil passed away too many years ago. we are planning to include her in the invite and add “late” mrs…

I’m researching possible themes for my best friend’s bridal shower. I’m thinking of doing something like a luau since her honeymoon will be in Hawaii. Any decoration, favor, and food ideas?
