I think I am in love! Just when I wanted to find something unique - I found plantable wedding invitations. These are wonderful, especially if you are 'go green' type of chick. Want to stand out beside all the other wedding invites on your guest's fridges....better take a look!
If wedding invites is a little over the top - this would work great as a thank you card.
The sites I like best are:
http://www.botanicalpaperworks.com/ (best selection)
http://www.custompaper.com/home.html (better price)
The garter toss has long been a tradition for weddings. Some people think it is too risqué to play suggestive music as the groom sloooowly removes the garter amongst cat calling in the background. There are alternatives such as handing the garter to a special person or to the person who has been married the longest, shortest, or the bachelor.
I am actually looking forward to the garter toss. I think this fuzzy, flirty garter will do the trick as the song "KISS" by Price is turned up a notch or two.

While guests arrive to the reception, have pictures of you and your husband through the years playing on a projection for all to view. This can include:
Visit Shutterfly.com to create your own. You choose the pictures, transitions, and music for your DVD that can be played. It is only $19.99 for a priceless addition to your wedding reception.

I love the idea of throwing lavender at the bride & groom. This is a safe alternative for rice and beautifully colored. Also, the smell is self healing and calming. You can box it sweetly as shown above or wrap in a beautiful sheer bag secured with a dainty ribbon.
Dried lavender buds price at $2.99 each here.
Betta fish is a sassy way to show off your fun side at a rehersal dinner or reception. Instead of flowers, place a betta fish bowl or plant in the center. Let your guests enjoy watching the fish at your summer shin-dig and give the kids attending a unique take-home gift.
You can purchase an already made betta bowl or make your own. The price? $7.84 at Wal*Mart (gotta love it!) Ribbon, sattain, lace, & raffia can be bought to complement your wedding theme. DIY masterpiece!
Check out this lovely pic from an avid fish fanatic at Bettaz Blog.
This is what little girls are made of...
Classy...but I wear a mini skirt
I play the electric guitar...in my undies
I kiss on a first date
I never leave the house without my heels
I'm not afraid to sleep in a tent
I'll take a slice of cherry pie
I drink beer with the boys
