2nd Wedding Decor Ideas?

I'm getting married very soon. Small/intimate ceremony/reception. I'm hoping someone has some inexpensive ideas for decorating tables. The wedding is on St. Patricks Day, I'd also appreciate any ideas for incorporating our children into the ceremony(3 are young adults, 2 teens) or gift ideas for them. All ideas appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Claddaugh rings are a great idea....but they don't have anything to do with St Patrick. The three parts to the ring are hands, heart and crown.....They stand for friendship, love and loyalty. It is a traditional Irish ring. You could stay with the lovely irish traditional things, like live shamrock plants as your table center pieces, gold coin chocolates sprinkled on the tables....limerick cards (there are lots of funny love ones). All the "children" can be part of your wedding party....or/and....have a candle lighting ceremony.....each person, bride, groom, children, have their own candle and they all (one at a time) touch their lit candle to the big center one that you and your honey have already lit. After they touch the big candle...they blow their individual one out...just like you and your honey did...This will symbolize that you are all going to be "one family"....

    Good Luck

    Give all of your children Claddagh rings. That is symbolic of a St. Patrick's day tradition and the ring represents an unbroken circle, which is sweet since you are beginning a new life and combined family with your groom.

    I would keep the centerpieces simple and just have potted shamrocks to represent the day and for good luck. Who knows, there may be a four leaf clover among them!!

    Now a day’s every couple want their wedding in unusual way, I will suggest you to make arrangement near the beach where cold wind blows, this called beach wedding. They are becoming quite popular due to heavy popularity in open areas and inexpensive too.

    While searching on internet I came across this really cool personalized gift. They weave your photo on genuine Turkish rugs. It is really high quality and 100% woven. Anything digital can ve woven on these rugs and they even personalize this with your message. I gave this to my husband with our wedding photo on it for our anniversary and he almost burst into tears :) Just search photooncarpet.com
