I wanted to find out if anyone has ordering or bought in store, Raffia Fans.  I posted a link at the bottom just in case you don't know what they are exactly. I am willing to order them online but would love to save on shipping by buying in store, so any suggestions are great.Thanks a bunch ladies!http://www.blissweddingsmarket.com/store/media/000434.jpg

I really want those as well! Haven't had the chance to compare the prices though. I have yet to see them in stores.

What about Oriental Trading?  I know their things tend to be very inexpensive, especially in bulk.

I can say I called one "Michaels" this morning and someone actually knew what I was talking about.  Most people don't.  She actually said they had them but only the chocolate ones and only 3.  I need lite brown and about 80.  Maybe I'll go in.

I ordered them from Oriental Trading Company for my wedding this past July. So glad I did! They were very affordable and the guests loved them! They only took about 3 days to come in which was another bonus.

Did you happen to decorate them?  If so, any ideas, I know I'm going to try to wrap the handles any ideas on the best way to do this? Thanks a bunch!

I've actually got some for sale, if you don't want to buy tons and tons online. I have 40 of them leftover from my wedding (I bought them from fellow Knotties, who got them from Oriental Trading). PIB--click Married Bio. If you're interested, let me know

OMG!  I don't know where my brain was this morning.  I read the title of the post and assumed it was about some band I had never heard of and didn't click on it until now when it dawned on me what you meant.  OY!

Oh Jackie - like people that are fans of the group 'Raffia'??? LMAO!!!! Get some coffee, girl!

LOL the first time I read the subject of this post I thought it said "Raffi fans" - as in fans of the kids' singer, Raffi. ROFL you know you hang out with kindergarteners when... I can't offer any new ideas, but I've seen people wrap the handles in coloured ribbon or attach their ceremony programmes to the fan. And echoing pp, Oriental Trading Co. is probably a good bet.

I'll admit I totally thought it said "Raffi Fans", as in Baby Beluga and such. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

On the Oriental Trading site, they have a great way to decorate them. A lot of people put their programs in the fans as well.
