Rice toss, bubbles, etc post ceremony

HilareyL · March 2012

I'm deciding what to have guests "toss" after the ceremony. I heard that rice can harm birds if they eat it since it expands in their stomachs. Bubbles are fun, and I also saw a photo on Pinterest of a lavendar toss. I love lavendar so I was thinking of doing that. Anyone have advice about buying inexpensive bags for the toss and/or lavendar? What are you all doing?

Here is the lavendar I saw on Pinterest- also thought the "yahoo" was cute on the bag:

Save-on-crafts has some pretty cheap dried lavender. They also have these cones that have flower seeds in the paper so after the wedding you can plant them. I've also seen people use eco-confetti (which dissolves with water) and dried flower petals.

I haven't decided what to do. Rice can hurt the birdies (in some states it's illegal) so i thought about buying minute rice....since it's pre-cooked, it doesn't expand. But I need to check on regulations for it.

Otherwise...we'll probably just do bubbles.

Our church doesn't allow rice because it's a waste of food and there are people in the world starving. No joke that's their reason. I wanted a petal toss but don't think it'll work

Def check with your venue as well. Ours doesn't let us use pretty much anything but bubbles.

We are doing bubbles. But I do love the lavender idea! I've seen other brides sell it in the classified section

Our chapel doesn't allow tossing anything either, so we're doing bubbles. (That's actually what I wanted to do

We are doing bubbles and bells, and maybe having the wedding party toss rose petals.

We're doing bubbles because my cousin who got married last year forgot to use hers! She's giving them to us for free.
