18 Things To Throw In Lieu Of Rice

18 Things To Throw In Lieu Of Rice

We’re all familiar with the rice throwing tradition at weddings. But let’s be real, that is kind of dangerous. What if some of that rice got in your eyes? That were surely ruin a beautiful day. Also, rice is very dangerous for birds to eat. Unless someone cleans it up after the wedding, birds are going to be the only creatures flocking toward the mess. Not only that, but it’s so cliche to throw rice. Been there, done that. It’s 2015; let’s spice it up a bit. Little Church of the West has compiled a list of new, creative things to throw instead of rice.

Butterflies - Gather a bunch of butterflies in all different colors for a truly fairy tale moment.

Rose petals - This is a simple, yet sweet alternative to rice that will also leave the happy couple smelling wonderful.

Kabuki streamers - It will look as though fireworks have gone off as the couple walks down the aisle. These are actually very easy to make!

Bubbles - The is a cheap and fun alternative to rice that will leave your guests having the time of their lives. They also make for amazing photos as well.

Confetti - Colorful confetti just screams “it’s a celebration!” For the classier couples, have the guests throw silver or gold shimmering confetti.

Horns - Not only are these a great way for guests to express their joy, but add a twist by having them blow confetti or rose petals out of them.

Hearts - You can get really creative with this. You can have guests throw the Valentine’s Day candy hearts or simple little paper hearts as a safer alternative.

Herbs - Guests can throw rosemary and thyme to create a wonderful smell as they see off the happy couple.

Lavender - This is another alternative to rice that can leave the bride and groom smelling great.

Flowers - If the bride isn’t a fan of roses, guests can throw any type of flower petal.

Rope streamers - Guests can wrap these around their hands then twirl them around in the air to show their happiness for the newlyweds.

Sprinkles - For the sweet-toothed couple, colorful sprinkles can make for a fun alternative to the boring, white rice.

Pom-poms - For the crafty bride, fuzzy pom-poms can make for a fun and easy to clean up alternative.

Cowbells - Hang a cowbell on the back of each guest’s’ seat, so when the couple makes their grand exit the guests can celebrate by ringing the bells.

Flags - If you aren’t a fan of the racket caused by the bells, guests could wave hand stamped flags that say “Congrats!”

Honeymoon Planning 101

Honeymoon Planning 101

When you hold your wedding ceremony at one of the beautiful Las Vegas wedding chapels, you are celebrating the joining of the bride and groom’s families. While this is a memorable experience for the couple, it’s the honeymoon that supplies the most enjoyment. The honeymoon is a relaxing getaway for the newlyweds to simply enjoy one another’s company. When planning your honeymoon, there’s a few things to keep in mind.

How much will you be paying?

We constantly talk about budgets in terms of wedding planning, but that’s because the costs can add up quickly if you aren’t carefully planning. The honeymoon is one of the more larger costs in wedding planning. It’s also unlikely going to be covered by either families. That means the price tag has to be covered out of your own pocket. First, you should find out if you or your hubby have any frequent flyer or hotel miles on a credit card. This can drastically reduce the cost of the flight. If you don’t already have a credit card that allows that, consider getting one to put all the wedding expenses on. This will rack up enough credit to give you some frequent flyer miles.

How long will you be staying?

You and your hubby will have to figure out how many vacation days are allotted from work. Keep in mind, you’ll probably have to take a day or two off prior to the wedding for any last minute wedding planning. Some brides will even take the whole week off leading up to the wedding. You’ll then have to decide when you want to leave for the honeymoon. Commonly, couples will leave the morning following the wedding. If you don’t have a lot of vacation days at work, simple do a weekend getaway and just take off the following Monday. You can always save up later on to take a real honeymoon for your first anniversary.

Where will you be going?

Both you and your man should write down a list of the top places you want to go. Write down about two or three options each and compare notes. Remember that a honeymoon is slightly different than a regular vacation. Perhaps, you’ve always wanted to go to Paris to see all the architecture and museums. Though Paris is a romantic city, sightseeing isn’t likely going to be on your agenda during the honeymoon. Most couples choose a warm place near the beach, so they can just relax and spend quality time together. Others enjoy the cold weather so they choose to stay in a cabin in the mountains.

Do you need a travel agent?

Sure, in today’s digital age, everyone will do the booking online. However, a travel agent can be extremely helpful. It’s fairly common that hotels will offer special deals for newlyweds. The travel agent will guide you to these places. Perhaps, they’ll even recommend a place you’ve never considered before. Travel agents are experts in all things regarding tourist season and weather. Wouldn’t you want to be sure you are taking your honeymoon to Cancun before spring breaks occur?

Before you can enjoy the honeymoon, you get to celebrate your love in one of the most fabulous Las Vegas wedding chapels. When deciding which chapel is right for you, consider Little Church of the West. They offer many wedding packages at different venues for a unique and unforgettable experience.
