As I wrapped up the layout and picture choices for our wedding album with the photographer this week I realized it has been a while since I blogged about wedding stuff.
Wedding blogs turned me onto all sorts of fun little items which make for adorable details at a wedding … or a bridal shower, baby shower or any kind of party really. One of my biggest must haves for my wedding was purple barbor shop paper straws.
I Googled purple paper straws for weeks and … NOTHING. I could find gray, pink, red, blue and other colors, but no puprle. Then I got my Dad to look online. As always he worked his magic and WALAH …
Check ‘em out:

They are totally affordable at $21 for 150 straws. I purchased 150 straws with a guest attendance of ~100 people (PLANNING TIP). The straws were well received by the guests and people were asking for the “fun straws” in whatever drink they were ordering. YAY!
Here’s a couple of my favorite pictures of barbor shop straws:

Oh my I love that picture! I’m dying to buy more straws maybe in pink or yellow, but first I need to find a party to help plan and/or host. Anyone hosting a baby shower or have a bridal shower coming up? This little detail would be fabulous!
Happy Planning!
