I'm going with rice. why? It's CHEAP, eco-friendly and classic. :D Did you also know that there's an old tradition where someone counts the grains of rice in the bride's hair to tell her how many children are in her future? Tee hee! I'm a sucker forsupersitions and traditions.

i dont think we'll do any of these - will probably walk out of the church and do a receiving line instead.

We are not permitted to throw anything outside of the church due to clean up needed etc for the evening mass. Even if we were, we wouldn't do anything. We have enough time for pics etc that we may also do the receiving line at the church.

Throwing white confetti. I am getting married in February and it will look like snow in the pictures. Also it disolves in water - no clean up!

We're not throwing anything.... I'm pretty sure, anyway. If we DID it'd be birdseed, for sure.

Our venue doesn't allow anything other than bubbles...which I'm not really crazy about...but I'm starting to think that it'll be ok because all of the Christmas lights reflected in the bubbles should be really nice (especially for pictures!).

Our venue doesn't allow confetti or anything like that which would require cleanup on their part. So, bubbles it is!

If we do anything, we'll do bubbles, because of the beach ceremony, there are lots of littering rules, and I can't imagine trying to pick rice out of the sand! It's for that same reason that our flower girl won't be throwing flower petals, there's just no way we can do the cleanup without going crazy. :)

We are also throwing nothing. No big reason, just nothing worth throwing I suppose. It's low on our priority list right now.

We are not throwing anything due to we are getting married at the end of Jan in Northern Ohio and i dont think it would be right for our guest to wait outside for us so we are giving out bells with our programs and then when my dad (hes a pastor doing our wedding) pronounces us husband and wife they will all ring the bells also a nice thing they will take them to the reception to ring them for us to kiss instead of hitting a glass!

I don't know if we're allowed to at the venue..need to check into that still.
But I was hoping since it's 4th of July, we're going to give everyone a sparkler instead.
Otherwise bubbles, if we do anything at all.

We're either doing bird seed or flower petals. We're not allowed to throw anything not biodegradable, and no rice, so I thought the birds gathering around afterward could be neat.

paper air planes - they are about the size of the palm of your hand. I know I will probably get nailed in the head with one. Our first discussion was about little squirt guns.... yeah.... no way

i think we are going to have black and white balloons released, weather permitting. We are having a black and white wedding with an outdoor ceremony. Thought about doing "poppers" but not sure about the whole clean up thing.

Our venue is picky about things that are difficult to clean up, and since there are marble steps toward the exit, bubbles are a no go. Our solution? Paper airplanes! This isn't for everyone, but it goes great with our wedding.

I'm not sure. I'm debating between rose petals, or an arch of sabres since DH is in the military.

Bird Seed - same as others, the venue is picky about what is thrown. We are actually going to throw it as we leave the reception. Have the DJ announce for everyone to "say goodnight to the new couple" and have them at the door when we walk to the limo to leave for the night.

We're going to give all of our guests pieces of paper and have them make paper airplanes to throw! This sounds very wasteful now that I write it down haha. Oh well, I think it will be fun. Maybe I will just have the papers saved and will use them for printing school stuff on. I print SO much for school and usually just notes and stuff that doesn't have to be turned in.
Now that I've justified it...we're doing paper airplanes ;)

Our wedding ceremony is being held in an open space preserve so we are going to throw wildflower seed...doesn't make much sense since our wedding is in the fall....but maybe some of the seeds will survive winter and bloom in the spring. :O)

Probably bird seed since our wedding's in a park. The birds can eat it later :) Thought about rice..but apparently if birds eat a lot of it, it'll expand in their tummies and they could die :( I also love the paper airplane idea..I'll have to think about that :)

I found some poppers at michael's (in the store, can't find on website) where the streamers stay attached, so all you have to do is have a trash can available for the guests to throw them away once they shoot them. Should be pretty. http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?sku=1006-932
THis is what we are going to use...the streamers are about 10 feet long, so it should make for a pretty picture as we run out of the reception.

We're doing bubbles, simply because my mom found wedding cake shaped bubbles on clearance at Target for 25 cents a 4 pack, so we have over a hundred. Plus it'll look cute during an outdoor wedding, and the kids will enjoy it!

I've thought about putting streamers on the end of a wooden stick, kinda like when you were in kindergarden and it was May Day. Dunno yet though.
