I'm doing a couple baskets of flip flops for my guests to dance in (and around here most people call flip flops slippers or "slippas" in more of the accent). In pictures on pinterest it looks like most people tie the pairs together and maybe put something on it with the size. I was talking to my FH about this and he asked what do people do with the ribbon once they untie the flip flop pair. I said they could just throw it back in the basket or on the table. He thought that would look messy though. So is it okay to not have the pairs physically tied together? Or if not, do I need to designate some sort of area for people to put the tie?
I'd love to hear how others did this at their wedding or if you've seen it done at a wedding.
And of course, here's a picture of what I have so far (this is without them tied together) and the second picture is my inspiration picture.
