#75: i don't care.
...to have an engagement photo sprawled out in front of the reception hall for people to sign. i'd rather replace that with this...and chuck the idea of a regular guestbook.
#74: write on me.
i love this idea! here's the two-fer solution: placecard + favor.

Personalize Guests’ Mugs
Help guests avoid drinking from the wrong cup, and give them something to remember your party by. ZIG permanent markers are designed for use on ceramics and come in a range of colors (the ink should not come in contact with food, though, so restrict your handiwork to the outsides of the cups). ZIG Painty Markers, $3 each, www.michaels.com for store locations.
my take would be to buy a bunch of these and test out even just permanent markers before buying the specialty markers:
trofe mug from ikea= $0.50/each. love me tender.
#73: real simple.
60-second centerpieces http://www.realsimple.com/realsimple/gallery/0,21863,97145-3,00.html:
lemon, hazelnut.
pomegranite, plums/figs.
a million carnations.
granny smiths. apparently they float.
only candles.
#72: fresh and so clean.
bold colors and a set up like the one above could really amp up a humdrum reception hall. like using a church lunch room with stark walls and ceilings. it's very pow wow, don't you think?
