if you have a big backyard or so, get a big long table and sit 20 or so people at it.  have music, activities, and for dinner you could possibly just set up a bbq out there and let people choose what they want cooked.

watch "my super sweet sixteen" and get some ideas from there. if your budget isn't as big as theirs, then just take the idea they had and simplify that into a more suitable budget

I think chose a theme and make it a theme party! I LOVE theme parties and it always makes the mood more fun / silly and sparks conversations and puts everyone at ease. I also ALWAYS make people dress up according to the theme, just cos I love dressing up :) theme options: Nautical (sailors etc), Circus, cowboys / cowgirls, dress up as something that starts with the first letter of your name (eg if your name is susan dress up as something starting with S) enjoy!!

i would think your best bet is a craft store. They usually have everything under the sun for weddings. I know when i was planning my wedding i spent a good four hours in one

Go to a craft store and buy some iron-ons.  They have ones that are glittery, or pretty much anything that you can imagine.  You could also buy some specialty buttons and patches.  Good luck!

Oh, i did this same theme for mine. We had all of the white lights we could find with tiki torches ( not the cheap one's) and all of our guest got laid with the flower lays. It is nice to set a good atmosphere with candles and hamocks and great flowers. Congradulations and good luck.

make some lovely gingerbread and personalise them by choosing a different cutter for each person. put them in a box and wrap in brown parcel paper with some pretty ribbon. i'd love to get something like that if i knew someone was on a budget.

My suggestion would be those little holiday throws that the larger department stores like Wal-Mart sell around this time.  They are only $5.00 each, and are a nice fleece blend, come in 5 or 6 patterns and colors.  Or maybe you could give them notepads and pens in a little gift bag.  Or, if you do have a Wal-Mart, in the make up department there are these nice little bath powder plastic cannisters that come in pink blue purple and are only $1.50, they are pretty, smell nice but not overpowering and have a really nice large powderpuff in them.  I'd bet some of those ladies would love something like that.  Bless you for being so kind!

I made my own and they turned out really great. You're welcome to email me and I'll show you a picture. They were not that difficult and it saved me a LOT of money. If you dont want to use all of the detail that I did you can certainly leave off a few of the details and it would still look nice. Mine are on white cardstock with vellum over the top. Our engagement pictures are attached to the cardstock under the vellum and the invitation wording is on the vellum. I embossed wedding bells on the vellum in silver and attached the vellum to the cardstock with a ribbon. I did use the double envelopes but I went more contemporary and used a white envelope inside of a clear envelope. The names are printed on the white but you can see it through the outside envelope. Let me know if I can help. It was all very cheap to do and I can give you some tips. rdnkchic2003@yahoo.com

Hallmark has a lot of free e-cards! The Hoops and Yoyo collection is really cute and funny. You should send some from there! Have a great day!

Your local Scout Shop will offer several nice cards (online link below), but any good card store will have cards with a nice eagle or outdoors theme that would be nice!\n\nAs an Eagle myself (1975), I appreciate your thoughtfulness!
