How to Display Wedding Bubble Tubes

Blow bubbles at the new couple to celebrate their happiness.

Wedding tubes are quickly becoming a trendy item to use for guests to blow bubbles at a new couple. Depending on the wedding location, guests will gather outside the venue and blow the bubbles at the bride and groom as they exit. In the past, rice and birdseed were tossed at the couple; however, the small rice or seeds would get caught in the bride’s hair, making removal difficult. Using tubes of bubbles in place of rice or seed is easier on the bride and groom and keeps the unwanted pests, such as ants and birds, away after the couple is gone.

Things You'll Need

• Bubble solution
• Small table
• White satin tablecloth
• Medium-size white basket
• Tulle ribbon
• Hot glue gun
• Glue sticks
• Cardstock
• Scissors
• Tape measure
• Black pen
• Vase of flowers

Instructions

1. Fill the tubes with bubble solution and cap the top with the included bubble wand. Typically, purchased tubes will either come with the bubble solution in place, or just the empty tube and wand attached to the lid.

2. Set up a small table at the back of the church or wedding venue. The table should be no larger than a card table. Drape a white satin tablecloth over the table to conceal the top and rails of the table. Depending on the wedding venue, there may be a table set up in the back to hold the wedding tubes for guests to take as they exit the wedding. Ask the coordinator which table to use for the display if you feel this is the case.

3. Adjust the wedding tubes in a medium-size white basket with a handle. The basket will make transporting the tubes easy, and allow easy access for guests to grab. Since the tubes are an oblong shape, they can stack at a diagonal angle so the tops are facing upward and the bottoms are toward the bottom of the basket.

4. Wrap the top handle of the basket with the tulle ribbon until the entire handle is covered. Apply a small dab of hot glue to the edges of the ribbon to prevent the ribbon from detaching from the handle.

5. Create a bow using the tulle ribbon. Wrap the bow, using a method similar to tying a shoe bow, and secure it to the top of the basket handle. Another option is to attach the bow to the edge of the front of the basket. Secure the bow to the basket using the hot glue gun.

6. Cut out a piece of white card stock that is 4 inches by 5 inches. Using a script handwriting, write the words, "Please Take One" in black ink.This will give guests notification to take a tube as they exit the wedding venue. Attach the card to the basket with a dab of hot glue or set it against the basket.

7. Place the basket on the table. If there is room, place a vase of flowers next to the basket for visual interest.

Tips & Warnings

• Place someone in charge of standing next to the basket to make sure each person receives a tube.

• Switch out the color white for another color that is represented in your wedding colors.
