A lot of white christmas lights in the backyard (around trees or along a fence). Pier 1 has glass hurricanes that you could fill with sand and put tall candles or fill with water and put floating candles in them. Real simple but very pretty.

I don't know where you live, but dollar stores near all shore areas (I used to be in Florida) sell sea shells by the pack for a dollar. You could put a small candle in the middle of the table and surround it by shells... the candles sell for about 50-100 for a dollar too. Good luck!

My cousin had a beach theme for her wedding. She found helium balloons in the shape of fish and blew them up with blue latex balloons. The latex balloons looked like bubbles.

Good luck,

I helped with a wedding and went to a craft store and got lots of seashells and I also got vases and bought blue Beta fishes and put plants on top with the roots cleaned and insert in the water. That way, the fishes got air and the plants were watered at the same time. It turned out so beautiful.

I couldn't remember the name of that magazine but it has great party stuff for all occasions. It will help with the cost of my party favors. The personalized mints will work great. Thanks again.

I helped with one of my friends weddings a year ago and we made our own lei's for the bride, bridesmaids, groom, groomsmen and parents. We just bought some inexpensive flowers, dental floss and needles and threaded the flowers onto the dental floss. It was cheap and went great with our theme. We also had centerpieces that were made out of buckets filled with sand and pillar candles and sprinkled the sides of the bucket with some sea shells.
