I got all wedding-buggy again walking through Michael's today. Currently trying to scare up ideas for neat, fun favors that people will keep/enjoy. They must be appropriately geeky. Suggestions?

Also, thank heaven, Mom agrees that we must have real flowers at the wedding. I'm well aware of how practical, cost-saving, time-saving, stress-saving, etc, fake flowers are, but dammit, I want real flowers.

Oooog. Am on the mend and able to eat semisolid food now, with the consequence that I ate way too much for dinner. Oooooog. Very full, tummy hurty. But mac 'n cheese was sooo good. Oooooog.

Was just walking through the kitchen, and got inspired. I collect Bride and Groom dolls, and among my collection are a set of resin figures that were gifts from my kids. Adorable little things, and they paid for them themselves- a dollar apiece at dollar tree. I don't know if you have a Dollar Tree store in your area- but it's worth looking, because they sometimes have just adorable little resin and porcelain figurines, frequently with a wedding theme or religious theme. (I bought the topper I used for Tim's communion there, and it was gorgeous- much nicer than some of the 30.00 statuettes I saw out at Tonini's bookstore. It was a porcelain statue of two children, a boy and a girl, recieving holy communion before Christ, and a big italianate cross. I intend to use it again next year for Alex's.)

I've seen centerpiece displays of those tacky plastic Wilton bridal people at weddings before, but if you could find something like the figures in my collection, you could create a beautiful centerpiece for the tables that could be taken home at the end of the evening.

Good idea, I'll keep my eye out. There's actually a decent dollar store next to the fabric store I like to go to...
