K + C aren’t having a traditional rehearsal dinner, but will be inviting guests to a welcome dinner at a local lobster joint the night before the wedding (hence, my beloved lobstah dress). We’re not yet sure how much will be left in the budget for fun details — and honestly, how many details do you need when you have lobster and surroundings like this — but here are some ideas I’ve collected over the last few weeks should the need arise…

An adorable lobster-claw invite:

Customized napkins:

Place cards or escort cards, held down by stones:

Lobster place mats and red and white striped runners from Carrot & Stick Press:

Dessert (strawberry shortcake, of course!):

{Eat Drink Chic}

Lobster lollipop favors (or how about sacks of gummi lobsters?):

And a bag to pack the evening’s essentials:

I love old homes, and one of my favorite characteristics of them is their tendency to have gorgeous wooden ceilings with exposed beams. I love when you can see the “bones” of a house.

Like last week’s nautical bracelet, I’m loving this one from The Vamoose on Etsy that my cousin Meghan emailed to me. $18 and available in natural or white rope and gold or silver trimmings. See it here!

Love red and orange, and love the idea of bowls of cherries and brightly colored citrus fruits as centerpieces. Lots of patterns in this board, too, from the seating chart by Cheree Berry to the fabric homemade jam jars. Who’s ready for summer?
