swizzle sticks

i saw this yesterday as i was wasting yet more time looking at other blogs for wedding ideas, and it popped up again today on once wed. that's ok, i'll repost here anyway. i like this idea! it's simple and small - two requirements for my diy projects - but i think worth the effort.

we'll be providing alcohol so it would be a reasonable thing to do. i think it would be a fun way to incorporate all the colors i've been thinking of - sort of autumn sunset... reds, oranges, that sort of thing. except i wouldn't use the alphabet stickers, that just seems like kind of a pain and not something guests would really pay attention to, anyway. instead, i'd just keep a couple of sharpie pens lying around for people to just write their names on the tag. so for you sisters reading this, expect* to be put to work a few days before the wedding!

*ever notice that 'except' and 'expect' have all the same letters in virtually all the same places? i wrote 'except' first and it took me a long while to figure out what looked wrong...
