Is there anywhere that you can buy simple/plain table number holders? Nothing with a theme, hearts, etc? Just tall, silver table # holders that don’t cost an arm and a leg?

Is it too late for a beehive question? I asked this before under the bridesmaid dresses. Anyway: anyone know of somewhere that has good jr bridesmaid dresses, that will do custom sizing? I have a niece who is rather overweight, and also very tall for her age. She’s also the youngest jr bridesmaid, she’ll be 10. The others are 15, 13, and 11. (I’m having a matron of honor, the jr bridesmaids, and a flowergirl.) I know the 15 yr old won’t want to wear something babyish, and besides she’s in jr sizing. The younger girls still wear girls’ sizes, I believe. I was looking at Pegeen, but they only have one dress that doesn’t scream ¢¢â€š¬…”flowergirl,¢¢â€š¬? and even that will be the wrong sizing for the 15 yr old. Maybe I could put the 10 & 11 year olds in Pegeens, similar to the flowergirl, and the older girls in real bridesmaids outfits? It’s a pickle! Suggestions?

Liz: for my favors, we are going to Jones soda bottles with a fun straw tied on with ribbon. You could use any kind of fun glass bottled beverage (Crush, Coke, etc.) that matches your colors/theme. You can also die cut a flower or something and use them as placecards for the tables so they’ll do double duty! Also, some good colors that go with periwinkle: Tangerine, Taupe, Chocolate Brown, Pink (if you want to go extra girly).

VivalaMonkee, I’ve used Insolia in the past. They made my 2 1/2inch Kenneth Coles more comfortable during a conference. Not that KCs are ever comfortable, but they are so cute. Haven’t used my other set yet but I’ve only ever heard good things.

Liz, I like the charity idea too. Makes it easier on you. But if you like tea, this companies is very yummy and they do personalized favors in your price range. Even better is that you get to choose the flavor of tea with lots of choices. http://www.adagio.com/wedding/index.html

Miss Apple,
I suggest that you visit Sam Moon’s and see what they have in-store. There’s some extremely tacky stuff, but then there’s some very classy stuff. And don’t go near five o’clock, unless you have sharp elbows.

Jen,
The really basic silver cube base ones are sold in Borders bookstores right near the Thank You cards.

Nony mouse, sam moon was my very first stop for cheap costume jewlery and I purchased a couple of brooches but at my second fitting the broach was either too small and not enough sparkle. -(

I will have to either do some researching online or buy one from lulu’s that was ok but way overpriced.

Thanks for the suggestion, maybe I can stop by there again in a couple of months and maybe they might have some better ones.

Omg, sam moon makes a killing off there stuff, the store is full of women shopping at the most random time of the day too!

VivaLaMonkey - I have Insolias in ALL of my heels. They fit better in some shoes than others, and it takes awhile to figure out the correct placement in each shoe. But they definitely work, although it’s not going to change 3″ heels into sneakers.

I wore a pair of 3″ heels with Insolias for about 12 hours at my friend’s wedding. I was her coordinater, so I was on my feet most of the time. My feet really hurt at the end of the day, but previously I would’ve survived in those shoes for about 15 minutes. It’s sort of like sunscreen and avoiding sunburn!

Does anyone know where I can find out what the style name of my Maggie Sottero dress is? I tried to contact the website but 2 weeks later, no response (I thought I bought the Zoe) Thanks
