Decorations/Centerpieces:
We used large brandy snifters with Beta Fish and a floating candle.
I don't think we saved any money by making them ourselves though.
We then had Dolores (Timely Arrangements) put a ring of flowers around
them. The Flanders was awesome and packed up the centerpieces for
us at the end of the reception. The guests took the fish home.

Invitations:
My
sister, Karyn DiMattia, is a graphic designer. She designed our
invitations which had 2 starfish and our names on them. They were
tied with raffia which is kind of "beachy."
We Saved Money By:
We saved
money by buying Shriver's Salt Water Taffy in bulk. We put the
taffy in clear plastic candy bags and tied them with raffia for our
favors. We also bought seashells from a wholesaler on the
internet, shellhorizons.com. Each of the favors had a starfish
tied around them. Starfish were also used for the centerpieces.
We
Used the Internet:
I had
just moved to this area from North Carolina so I used this site a lot to
plan my wedding. I also used The Knot, The Wedding Channel and
Bridalmart.com.
How
We Met:
We met in
college when a mutual friend introduced us. We're both teachers
and when Scott wanted to move to New Jersey to be closer to his family
we got engaged and moved here. He teaches in Mullica and I teach
in Egg Harbor Twp.
