You are killing the fish. That isn't very nice. Worse is to make your guests watch the fish slowly die as they eat their dinner.

My flower girl carried a green mum ball with a red satin ribbon attached to it instead of a bouquet. The florist called it a "kissing ball." I loved that idea.

Everyone pitched in to help! I'll be doing a feature on these guys Thursday, so I'll try to get more detailed instructions from the bride and groom.

I just added a follow-up to this on this afternoon's post in response to elizabeth's comment above. <br/><br/>If anyone knows of a link to instructions for preapring the water I hope they'll add it here!

Thanks for all these amazing ideas!<br/><br/>I am really disappointed though to see you advocating the use of live animals as table decor. I've been to many events that used fish as table decorations and it's terrible to see most of the fish dead by the end of the night because people used untreated tapwater. Expecting guests to properly care for an unexpected "gift" is overly ambitious... if you cannot ensure the safety of the animals you are using, please, just don't use them.
