Believe it or not, I typed LSU Wedding into Yahoo's search engine, and found a website, LSU Dining, that contains wedding menus and wedding packages:\nhttp://appl003.lsu.edu/cas/lsudining.nsf/$Content/Wedding+Packages?OpenDocument\n\nYou might contact the school itself and ask how they handle proms, formal dances, fancy events, etc, and then plan your wedding accordingly.\nhttp://appl003.lsu.edu/cas/lsudining.nsf/$Content/Contact+Us?OpenDocument\n\nHere's someone who actually had an LSU-themed wedding!\nhttp://www.lsu.edu/ambassadors/about/advisor.htm\n\nAnd more:\nhttp://tigerpages.com/espnlsuwedding.html\nhttp://espnradio.espn.go.com/espnradio/marriagemadness/bracket\nhttp://tigerpages.com/\n\nI've even found an LSU wedding plate!\nhttp://stores.homestead.com/hstrial-JRivers1/Detail.bok?no=41\n\nYour wedding colors can be the school colors, which seem to be purple and gold.  Also, you can find metallic confetti of different sports--football, basketball--and/or of the school, and sprinkle them on your tables.  Can you hire a music arranger to create a waltz version of LSU's fighting song or alma mater for you and your intended to dance to?\n\nHave little LSU flags on the tables.  Trim the cake--trim, not paint!--in purple and gold, with the traditional white base.  Create a metallic version of LSU's flag to put on the wall (or is that too tacky?).\n\nPut Sports Wedding on a search engine and see what you find!\n\nAnyway, it's your wedding.  Have fun!\n\nP.S.  Send a portion of your monetary gifts for Hurricane Katrina relief.

Awesome, I want to do the same thing, not the Longhorns though...\n\nIf you have struck out everywhere else, the only suggestion I can come up with is to go to this website and have one custom made:\n\nhttp://www.teamcheer.com/department.asp?id=94

1. For a unique party favor my groom and I are giving out lottery tickets. Only $1 each.. I will have a note in the program stating the tickets were chosen because we are so lucky to have our family and friends with us on our wedding day.\nI will also add a line that all winnings will need to be split with the bride and groom!\n\n 2. Instead of having an ordinary guestbook, that you hardly will look at again, I am going to create a photo guest book.  My guestbook attendants will take polaroids of each guest... either individually or in a group, however they come, and put it on the pages of the guestbook/scrapbook.  The guests will then sign on the bottom of their picture.  My fiance and I will then have a photo album of all the guests at our wedding! :) GST\n\n3. We are getting married next year and instead of the traditional wedding we have decided to go with a "rock-n-roll" theme. We are going to have records displayed around the hall with our names on them and a picture of the two of us. Our colors are navy blue, black and silver so there will be plenty of those colors…from the silver glitter on the black tables cloths to the silver spray painted roses.\n\n 4. Since this is a second marriage and there are children that will be blended into a new family, we are decorating the tables at the reception with photo trees holding photos of my future husband and I and our children doing things together. We feel it shows that this marriage is not the union of just two people, but the formation of a new family.\n\n5. We had a shortage of single men and women invited to our wedding, most of our friends and family were already married.  So we needed to come up with something different to replace the traditional bouquet and garter throwing.  We invited everyone to the dance floor and the dj played several lovely, slow songs.  First the dj told all couples married two hours or less to sit down (everyone got a kick out of that).  Then a few moments later, any married a year or less, than five years, ten years and so on, until there was only one couple left.  They were neighbors and friends of my family and had been married for fifty years.  We asked them to stay on the dance floor while I took a seat and my husband made a big show of removing my garter.  We then faced the winning couple, congratulated them on their fifty years and asked them for their best marriage advice as we presented them with the bouquet and garter.  They were very touched and it gave us a great feeling too.

I'm from the Tampa area originally, and I can't really think of anything that isn't outside that is inexpensive.  If it is just going to be a small wedding, maybe you or a friend has a backyard that you could use?  You could rent a party tent in case it rains.  Sometimes, local parks allow weddings.  My aunt and uncle got married at Manatee Co's historical park.

Get him a jersey or a football paraphenelia from your own college, wrap it up in nice wedding paper, and take it over.  You may want to take a crystal candlestick for the bride if you value your friendship with your neighbor.  Good luck.

Unless you want to go w/a St. Patties Day theme, you would probably do best w/ a dusty rose or some other color.  W/ the sage green in might be cool to go w/ a bold color, like royal blue or purple.  Congrats!

One of my favorites is "Blood on Blood" by Bruce Springsteen, might not be fitting at a wedding though. It really is a good song though. You could also use www.leoslyrics.com , its a database of song lyrics that you could search to find a fitting song. Good luck.

My fiance and I are going to do this. We live in Alabama but are going to get married in Tennessee so we are having a reception right after the wedding for everyone that comes and then we are having a reception in Alabama when we get back at a hotel's banquet hall. And then we are having a reception in Louisiana (that is where my fiance's family is from) at one of his aunt's houses. It is gonna be a blast!! One tip I can give you is to let all of the people in the different locations know what you are thinking about doing to see what their reactions are they might even volunteer their backyard or give you some great tips!

I see you've already found what you were looking for, but I just thought I would say congratulations, and good luck! I think it's awesome that you are having a pirate themed wedding, and are "breaking the norm!" What a cute idea! I know your cake will look fabulous! God Bless!\narrrg! (ok, i'm just being lame now.)

My parents are helping us out a great deal for our wedding.  My mom has helped me with the planning, the finances, the stress, etc etc.  We are getting my father a nice bottle of wine and a gift certificate for a manicure and pedicure for my mom.  When I go into the salon to have mine done the day before, I am just going to surprise her and take her with me.  We are also planning on a nice toast specifically for them and we're also thinking of having a song dedicated to them (to dance to) following the toast. I'm not sure if it's necessarily "customary," but I think it should be if they really help out.  If you can't afford much, just put some thought into it and do something creative.  Make a cd for each of them with songs that remind them of you (or the two of you together).  Definitely do something for them...it's kind of their big day too.

You need to center it around something that is meaningful to you and your fiance. You must share common interests. List them and then think about what you can do to use that as a theme.\n\nPersonally, I'd love to attend a costume party wedding. I think that would be a blast! \n\n.

With yellow and white being your colors there is one very logical "theme" for your reception - daisys.  For table centerpieces you could have daisy votive floating candles (floating on water) in a brandy glass (or vase) - they have guest books, pens, champagne flutes, etc. in the daisy theme.  \n\nBest wishes

Another answer would be to make it yourself.  Go to Home Depot or Loews and buy large sheets of plywood.  This could be a groom and the guys project.  If you do this you can paint it yourself and add your wedding design/ name/ or logo to it too!\n\nJust remember to sand it first.  \n\n:) Happy Wedding
