Question by laurchristine1: Customized umbrellas as wedding favors?
My fiance and I will be getting married in the spring at an outdoor setting. Knowing the spring season, it may rain (or may not). There is no other place to be married other than a glass like tent where people normally hold their reception. I would like to get married outside at the gazebo rain or shine! I was thinking customized umbrellas as favors may be a cute idea.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a website with customizable umbrellas? Actual website addresses are appreciated. I have already gone through the searches of "umbrella favors", "wedding favors umbrellas", etc.

Thanks (:
"kcarp73" - Thanks for the websites

"Trying Something New" - Thank you for the advice! It's ok if you don't have a website. I asked for a website because sometimes people will answer "Oh, try googling 'customize umbrellas'" because I would do that before asking :p But I like what you suggested about a tag... that is a really good idea.
