By popular request, our little love had some wonderful shots at our e-session too.

First Look Favorites

Our photographers, Visual-Obsession delivered us some stunning shots from our Night Escapade session. Pepe and I are in total awe. We are not the most photogenic people. In fact we are pretty camera shy but our photographers made us feel so comfortable they completely put us at ease. They also gave us plenty of direction when it came to taking photos. They even took turn watching our dog, who was a bit of a handful at times. The night was a bit nippy and after the long day we were tired. However, it was all worth it.

Goody Bags

We are expecting quite a few little ones between the ages of 4-8 at our wedding. So to keep the kids entertained during the wedding, we decided to put together goody bags for them. Included in the bags are the adorable finger puppets Pepe found at Ikea, pipe cleaners for creative craft projects (highly recommended by our day of coordinators, ribbon wands, Hello Kitty note pads and pens for the girls, and mini slinky for the boys.

1. Pipe Cleaners $2.99 for 100 pc
2. Ribbon Wands $1.25 each
3. Hello Kitty note pads were 4 for $2, I bought 3 sets for $6
4. Hello Kitty Mini Pens $2 for 4
5. Mini slinky $1
6. Finger puppets $15 for 27 (Each child will receive two puppets)
7. Mini gift bags 0.40 cents each

15 kids total, 10 girls and 5 boys...oh my!

I also purchased 48 mini bubbles ($7.99) for the kids and adults to use during the beach ceremony and 30 glow in the dark stick bracelets for $2.
As for the older kids and teens, I will probably have some sweet treat for favors plus the ribbon wands. I did not include any sugary delights for the little ones in fear of a sugar high. I am still on the hunt for baby favors as I have a few tiny tots. The little trinkets I put in the goody bags were choking hazards for any child under 3 yrs of age. So if anyone has any suggestions, let me know!

Most of the items I purchased were from Target - thanks to a friend/mommy for informing me on the great deals!
