Unity sand

Beverly, on September 24, 2016 at 9:06 AM Posted in Planning 0 10

Someone gave us an idea to do a unity sand vase to represent the combining of our two families (our kids and ourselves). Our kids are adults and love the idea but I'm not sure where to find 6 different colors of sand? Has anyone else done this or have other ideas?

I thought of pretty marbles but FH is concerned that is too loud to drop into the vase during the ceremony.

    Craft stores have lots of colors also if you are looking for more specialty colors look on ebay and amazon.

    If you google sand ceremony you'll find one of the companies that has hundreds of colors you can buy in several size packages. Oriental trading is good too. Also Michaels in person.

    Don't do the marbles. Your FH is right.

    I had 8 grandkids and my couple in my sand ceremony last weekend. It was fine They all poured at once, the pattern was beautiful and it was pretty hilarious....

    Etsy. We are doing a unity sand for us and our children, 6 of us as well. I also bought the vases with each person's initial on it and we all pour into a glass block that says "together we are a family" with mine and Fh's names and wedding date.

    I second Michael's Crafts for various colors of sand.

    If my couples want sand-colored sand, I provide that.

    Unity sand is all over the place. We're doing one too. Michaels, Oriental Trading, Exclusively Weddings, etc. Just google it, and you'll find plenty of colors. The tricky part for me was finding the right vases. The sets usually come with the large vase and only 2 smaller ones, with no options to order more of the smaller ones. I bought the large vase and found the smaller ones later that went well.
