As many of you are probably aware, because I posted about it before but I was obsessed with having flip-flops for our guests at the reception. So the good news - I did do the flip-flops and can I tell you - it is still talked about by my guests...ok, maybe not talked about daily. However, it was a huge, huge hit. The bad news - I forgot to tell our photographer to get some cool shots with folks wearing the flip-flops. And the other oops, I had ribbon and a sign "Rest those Dancing Feet" for my basket (shown above), but unfortunately, it got "lost" and never found at our site. Bummer. But lets focus on the positive (not the negative that I spent a good couple bulbs and time gocco-ing those damn signs) - if you were thinking of doing the flip-flops - do it. Your guests will love you for it.
Helpful hints - I actually got on Hobby Lobby's email list and watched them religiously to see when their flip-flops were on sale for a $1 and then made sure to snatch up all their pink ones! (Please note they are not great flip-flops, pretty cheaply made - but they are for one night, people!). I bought about 50 and I think we had two pairs left. Now I noticed - the women were all about it...men - not so much.

where did you get that cute basket?
I am so happy that you posted this! I have been stockpiling pink flip flops from Target every time they are on sale and everytime I look at them I wonder if the girls at the reception will be down for using them. This definitely gives me more confidence!!
Tara - the baskets are from Hobby Lobby!
