Details:Paper Straws

{Source}
I first noticed these fabulous striped straws when I entered SWMag's MMInk calligraphy contest. (BTW how much do you love Moya from MM Ink). Then I started to notice that they are everywhere...which was inevitably followed by this ache in my stomach for paper straws (which I didn't even know was a think two weeks ago!) It's embarrassing but true. I am such a sucker for cute details. I mean, LOOK:

So here's the deal on these darling details. As far as I can tell they come in a few colors: red, green, hot pink, blue and gray. You can get them from Kikkerland and they come in boxes of 50 for $3 or 144 for $7. I am not sure how much shipping and handling is but Kikkerland is in the UK so it may be quite pricey.
Art Fire
also has them in packs of 100 for $16.

There are also a number of sellers on Etsy and Ebay who sell these straws but they all seem to be fairly pricey. All the Etsy sellers I could find seem to sell them with the flags included so they are about $25 for 20!

While it seems like most people like to decorate the actual paper straws, I love this mix and match idea. How a-dorable are those stirrers??

The further along I get in the planning process, the more I realize that one of the best and worst things about a small wedding is that I am convinced that I can add/afford anything and everything....sigh.

Has anyone gotten these straws? Did you find any good deals?What other wedding details have you fallen in love with that you didn't even know existed?

***EDIT: Shipping from Kikkerland is $10.

  1. Girl, I saw these straws on some website and as soon as I saw them I convinced myself I had to have them in my wedding. My fiance, on the other hand.. well he wasn't as easy to convince, especially when it came to pricing.

    I love them and they add such a cute little detail, but I don't know where to find them for fairly cheap. If you do, please let me know!! =D

  2. YES! I got these straws! Mine are green and white and I love love love them! I got them for $3 a package from Kikkerland shop but I went through someone else - Ill try to find it for you! I wanted to put mine in mason jars on the bar area but the set up got messed up.

    Now the leftover straws are in two skinny vases on my dining room table as a part of my Christmas centerpiece!
