We may be able to buy tablecloths on eBay for as much as it would be to rent them. Take a look:

cupcakes
So I've been thinking about cupcakes. I'd really like to make a bunch over Labor Day so we can try out the recipes and see what works and what you like.
1. Pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. We're doing these for sure. I'm thinking we will want orange cupcake liners for these to show they are pumpkin flavor.
2. Chocolate cupcakes - and I think you said you wanted green colored frosting for these. Did you want vanilla frosting, colored green? Another idea I had was doing mint flavored frosting to match the green color. What do you think? It may be too much, especially if we are doing the mints already, but it was an idea. Maybe brown cupcake liners for these.
3. I do think it would be really pretty to do some cupcakes with chocolate frosting, whether they be chocolate or vanilla cupcakes. I think red liners with the chocolate frosting would look beautiful.
4. We could also do a citrus flavored one, more of a muffin without a glaze or scaled back frosting. I found a recipe for a citrus poppyseed cupcake here: http://foodaholic.wordpress.com/2007/09/16/citrus-poppyseed-cupcakes/ We could add an orange glaze to make it look more festive.
What are your thoughts? Do you want just the pumpkin and chocolate? Or do we want to throw some vanilla or other flavored cupcakes in there?

possible invitation language
Come celebrate with us that evening
from 6:00 to 7:30
at the Ehlers residence
1074 East 1300 North
Shelley, ID
I've also been pondering the option of adding something at the end that said, "Send off at 7:45" if we want to indicate people should stick around for that. Then again, we may have enough family alone to accomodate that.

the grand exit
http://contributors.marthastewartweddings.com/portal/index.html?ctrl:id=window.default.ContestWindow&ctrl:type=render&ctrl:windowstate=maximized&op=vpic&ccomm=36776&offset=2&cPicId=98681Have you thought about ideas for what you want all the guests to do as you and Jesse leave? I know your mom mentioned bubbles. I just saw this idea with ribbon wands and it looked fun.
Other ideas:
Sparklers
Candles...

arch
Yay! Back to wedding blogging! Sorry for the long absence.
So I've been thinking about the arch for the "line." Here are some thoughts:
1. Berry garland - depending on how much we can get, I think It could look really pretty to have the whole thing wrapped in berry garland, then intertwine some twigs and branches in the middle part. We could even spray paint the archway chocolate brown so it blends in nicely. This picture isn't exactly what I was thinking, but it has more of a natural look that I like.
2. Fruit - we could carry on the fruit theme here by using a bunch of greenery garland, then accenting with pieces of fruit. I think it would look best if we could get sage colored greenery. Otherwise it might be too hunter green for what we're looking for.
3. Leaves - I've been hesitant to do too much with leaves - I'm worried we would be bringing in too many different "themes" if we are doing fruit, berries, cornstalks, pumpkins, etc. However, this would really bring in the autumn theme and may be the least expensive option.
What do you think? Regardless of what we decide to do with the archway, I think it would be a good idea to get Becky on the lookout for berry garlands soon, since we are thinking about using them in other areas, as well. They can be expensive, but she may be able to find some for us cheap.
I have more ideas for a backdrop, but I need to go workout before it gets dark outside. So stay tuned...
