We had a big wicker basket placed in front of the chairs as guests were walking in and they were directed to grab one and then throw it as we were doing our recessional. We asked the wife of the BM to make sure people took one.
We then had them during our reception and they were a fun dance prop, people were hitting them up in the air and "beating the beat" with them lol. It was fun.
This actually aren't full sized they were the 6-7 in ones I think. I could check when I get home. Our venue provided the runner and tiki torches (which I guess you can't see in the pic) that we used as aisle decor.
