I'm not getting married until 10/05/2013, but i'm trying to get as much reception stuff bought as possible now!   But i need help with the reception.  I would like my girls to wear pink and chocolate.  And the guys will have the black tux with the camo vest.   I'm having a hard time figuring out decor and things, especially favors with the camo theme.    I'm really big on DIY items because i'd like to stay inexpensive!

Thanks!

    If your willing to spend a little extra money, you can get M&Ms in special colors and you could do hunter green, sage green, tan and brown. And just give little bags of M&Ms. I would do food favors, especially if they're going to be camo themed. I generally don't use trinkets from weddings and would especially get rid of it if it was camo (and I'm from souther Missouri!). Your centerpieces could be very woodsy with maybe a touch of camo ribbon or fabric.

    [QUOTE]If you are trying to cut costs, then cut the favors out all together. They are not necessary and no one will miss them. I would stay subtle with the camo theme -- you don't want your wedding to look like a hunting convention. The groomsman will already be in camo vests, so that's pretty good. You could maybe have a camo-themed grooms cake. Or have the escort cards have a camo print on them (a light one).

    Listen to this lady.  She is pretty smart!

    Also, whenever I hear of a camo wedding I think::
    A)Brad Paisley "I asked Jenny to the prom and her mom knew how to sew
    So she made a matching tux and gown from Duck Blind Mossy Oak
    We took pictures in the backyard before we went to the dance
    <u><strong>And the only thing that you can see is our faces and our hands"
    </strong></u>B) My Big Redneck Wedding

      -Mattress Surfing

    Just because you saw it on Four Weddings, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

    Skip the favors if you are on a budget. 

    As for the camo theme, keep it light.  Most themes are good in moderation.  If you are doing the vests other touches might be escort cards, cake topper, or ribbons on bouquets.

     These are very easy to make and you can customize the colors to be camo colors  im having a rustic country wedding and me and my future hubby are doing a hunting themed reception also. We are ffom souther illinois so we love whitetail deer.  so were going to use their sheds as table decorations to go with the theme.  also we are using wood for like everything!!!  because we can cut it all and dont have to spend money on the decorations.  ill send you some more pictures to show you what we are doing!!!  hope this will help you!!!

    I am getting married on 6/16/12 and it has been really hard to find camo stuff for a half desent price. We are making alot of our stuff. For the centerpeices we went out and got small pieces of firewood and drilled a hole in the middle to put a tealight candle and we are putting it on a plat with some gravel and a grapevine heart. I hope this information helps. good luck :)

    Check out Green Gables General Store. They have a website, and facebook page. They are located in Pineville, Louisiana, but have everything online. This store specializes in camo, and they offer layaway. I found them online, and then found the store while going to visit family in Louisiana. Absolutely fell in love with the store, and so did my fiance.
