Fun
Ways to See Off a Newly Wedded Couple
The wedding ceremony has passed and the bride
and groom have been pronounced as a newlywed couple. Now they
walk down the isle as husband and wife. What must be going
through their minds at that moment besides joy? Most feel relieved
and are ready to have fun at the reception. Now is the time
to relax and enjoy the reception. As a bride, you can add fun
and festive touches to your wedding that will have all your
guests talking.
When
it is time for the bride and groom to leave the reception
there are several traditions for seeing them off. The traditions
over the years have varied so many times and have had so many
things introduced that it is hard to keep track with what the
current trend in seeing the newlywed couple off.
Confetti was once a major deal in seeing them off however,
confetti was too messy and was hard to clean up off the church
grounds. The idea was eventually replaced by rice, as it was
figured to be biodegradable. It was soon apparent that rice
was not getting wet enough when it rained, so it never really
broke down. However, people quickly discovered that the birds
were eating the raw rice and became sick. What was not eaten
left a huge mess.
So where could they go from there? Well, the idea was brought
up about birdseed. This nifty idea has seemed to work well,
as it was not slippery on the steps of the church. In addition,
the seed was safe for the birds to eat and obviously and was
dropped into the soil when it rained. A master plan was formed
and is still is being used to this day.
However, lately there have been many new trends taking place
and making birdseed a thing of the past, as well. Enter the
year 2006 and the wedding industry is just booming. There are
so many options for marriage these days it only seem natural
to follow the same path when it comes down to seeing off the
newlyweds. Listed here are a few fun and entertaining ways
to spruce up the seeing off of the bride and groom. It must
be noted that all of the methods that are about to be mentioned
must meet prior approval.
White doves
This is a wonderful and entertaining method of seeing off
the bride and groom and is relatively mess free, albeit perhaps
some droppings. It would be best to watch your head when releasing
these birds. There are places that rent these birds out and
one would assume the price would vary between vendors, so it
is best to check around. One can only figure these are of the
homing variety, or the vendor would surely be out of business
rather quickly.
Rose petals
The rose petals seem to be an ever-growing trend, however
sometimes, messy. The petals are indeed biodegradable and will
disperse quickly. This is a fun and absolutely elegant way
to send off the new bride and her groom. This is sure to touch
the heart of any hopeless romantic and may even incite a few
renewing of vows because of it.
Balloons
The releasing of balloons has taken off so to speak and is
a colorful and fun way to express to the bride and groom your
appreciation for the invite. Vendors now carry a large surplus
of balloons because this trend has been steadily growing and
does not seem to have an end in sight. However, many environmentalists
will warn that balloons are not a good idea. Strings can become
wrapped around poles or land in water, where marine life can
become entangled.
Bubbles
This is a new trend and is becoming very popular. You can
easily purchase small bottles of wedding bubbles and hand them
out to guests. In addition, it is quite inexpensive and hundreds
of floating bubbles will captivate children and adults alike. Click
