Receiving Line

HI Ladies,

We are having an outdoor wedding on the property of a rental community in Deep Creek, so we are restricted in what we can use for a receiving line (traditionally was rice).  We have to use something that will not leave a mess (nothing paper or non-biodegradable) as well as nothing that will harm the wildlife.  I am really looking for something original, but having a hard time finding a winner that both the wedding coordinator and I agree on.  I wanted to use bloomin' paper confetti, but it takes too long to break down (2 months).  Any ideas, or have any favorites that you used?

    Throw rose petals or blow bubbles into the air.

    OP, I think you are confusing the "receiving line' with your "farewell". 

    Receiving line=when guests get in a line and receive your thanks for attending.

    farewell=when everybody waits for you afterwards and sees you off to the recpetion or HM. 

    Options for Farwell:  Sparklers, ribbon wands, flower petals, bubbles.

    I think she means the farewell. Bubbles are a nice option. I'm debating between that and rose petals. I've also seen some knotties post about birdseed.
