My fiancee' is a CW4 Blackhawk pilot and I am a retired CW3.  Since helicopters are part of our relationship, I wanted to have a "helicopter" theme for the reception.  Any ideas girls?

    That I actually love, and SO and I met over our love for helicopters and distaste for the Osprey. He overheard me saying they should redesign the CH-46 before they should put Ospreys in a war zone, and it was love. 

    When I've thought about it, I've thought about doing vintage helos, to keep it from being too themey. I love the Marine Corps, and I love SO's service in the AW, but I don't want an MC themed wedding. But aviation? Sure. Maybe name each table after a helo? I would stay far away from having any plastic helo decorations, but maybe a decorative metal one? I was thinking about vintage photos of helos on the table. 

    Also, somewhere I saw cookie cutters in the shape of different birds. I think there was a blackhawk one. Yup. http://www.herogearstore.com/helicopter_cookie_cutters.htm

    Those would be cute favors.

    Yes...but I resolved the problem.  I am using crystal blackhawk favors & the rest of the reception is normal.
