Hey. I heard there might be a shtick gemach in Florida. If anyone knows about one, can you please give me the details? I'm desperately trying to pull together shtick for an upcoming wedding. Thanks!

There might be one in Miami, you need to contact maybe a Gown Gemach, maybe they can give you leads.

I went to party city and bought stuff there for a friends wedding.

Buy small bubble blowers,
confetti,
huge ballons - put heart confetti inside a silver ballon and have the kalla poke the ballons - make sure to bring a pin to poke it with,
buy cheap hula hoops, cut them in half, wrap ribbon and other fluffy stuff around it and flowers to match the theme, and have the chosson and Kalla go under it when they come back...
Save some Hula Hoops not cut , wrap simple ribbon around and have people try to hula hoop around the kalla, or buy the extra big ones and decorate, catch the Kalla or have the Kalla catch someone and they dance inside the hula hoop with her...
Buy pom-poms - or make them yourself from ribbons,
buy fans to wave the Kalla with - oriental trading.com ,
Find a vintage lacy umbrella and hang ribbons yourself from it - or a stick and have her stand on chair/table everyone dances around her with it, wrapping the ribbon around,
A jumprope wrapped with ribbon or some fluffy things, have the Kalla jump one-two jumps then play limbo,
Buy the fluffy things that you wrap around yourself and dance - buy a couple cuz EVERYONE likes that! Even the kids - cut them in half and you have 2 for the price of 1 for the kids.
Make Mazel tov sign - everyone with a different letter lines up to form the sentance and dances around,
buy clown noses and pass them around,
funny hats.... funny glasses...
You can buy the belly dancing shawls and have people practice a dance or just have people that like to shake it and dance around with her - along with a song from the DJ that you talk to....
Buy a basket, decorate it, or buy a nice basket decorated (with theme colors) and have the Kalla throw candy at her Chosson and kids!

Don't forget something for the guys--- clown hats, a longg stick or pass the decorated jumprope to a active guy (that you warn beforehand) and have the guys play limbo
Pass them the clown noses after you are done with it -

If the Kalla and Chosson are let's say, one is Israeli and one is British, you can buy small british Flags and Israeli flags and have people shake it around - or hats, shirts....

Remember to tell everyone to return it....

- Then start your own Gmach or donate it to a Gown Gmach so they can do it too!
