So we are doing mason jars of various sizes with candles, and I fell in love with colored sparkle sand off of save-on-crafts, so I ordered one two pound bag in each color (three different colors). I finally decided I would spend the outrageous amount of money on 19 2 pound bags of sand because it's what I truly love, until I see they are charging $40 in shipping alone, and it states that the shipping costs could increase prior to delivery. This is SO frustrating. And an unnecessary worry on my end. We aren't spending a lot of money on things, and my parents are paying for most of the wedding thankfully. I am having a huge struggle with spending over $200 for sand alone which we won't ever use for anything else, and we could use that money towards so many other wedding related things...I'm torn :-( And FH strongly dispises paying shipping, especially that high of shipping.
Our colors are green, yellow and brown. I thought about potting soil, which isn't as pretty but it does look nice. We've tried polished rocks but the candle won't sit in there the way we would need it to. Any other not so expensive suggestions? We are a bit over 3 weeks out...shame on me for not finalizing this sooner!
