What are some alternatives to throwing rice and blowing bubbles at a wedding?
Have invitees, etc. throw birdseed instead, it is often done by those concerned about the dangers of birds choking on the rice. As for another alternative, throwing confetti also works well. As your wedding is right after Independence Day, a strong possibility is that at a least some guests will be throwing little miniature American flags at you, the kind often used as cake decorations. Please remember that no disrespect is in all likelihood intended towards the USA by those doing so, they will simply be wishing you well as to your nuptials that have just taken place and your married life to be.
