Admit it. When we think of graffiti, we think of profound or off-color comments scribbled or spray painted on the inside of bathroom stalls, on freeway overpasses, on the sides on buildings and concrete barriers and on school desks. The very idea of a graffiti-covered wall at a wedding reception is, well, inconceivable, right?

Not anymore! An online company called Wonderful Graffiti has a line of stock "wedding graffiti" as well as customized wedding graffiti with words and images you can choose yourself. The graffiti is very thin pieces of matte vinyl that look "printed" when applied to most smooth surfaces. Your graffiti design arrives on a sheet of transfer paper. You just tape the transfer paper on the wall or surface of your choice, burnish it down and peel it away, leaving only the letters and graphic elements. It's easily removed, and it doesn't harm the surface.

For example, say you're planning a fairy tale-theme wedding. Imagine a large wall in your wedding reception venue covered with the "graffiti" in the image at the right. It not only becomes a spectacular focal point that lets your guests know that you're living your dream, it also brings together the other elements of your wedding day--your gown, the horse-drawn carriage, your cake, your table centerpieces and your wedding favors.

Fairy-tale weddings are naturally elegant weddings, with a fantasy-like ambience created by your decor. This lovely graffiti would work perfectly in a room filled with whimsically romantic candles on every table.

You might want to include wedding bells ringing out the news of your marriage as part of your graffiti. While the wedding bells on the reception wall would be silent, your guests would be delighted to help spread the news when you place a silvery bell wedding favor at their fingertips.

Of course, you could always provide a can of spray paint or a magic marker at their fingertips and let them write their own graffiti. An interesting idea, but I think the folks at Wonderful Graffiti have a better way. They also have graffiti for other occasions and for use in your homes, offices or wherever you want to get creative. You can get creative with your wedding favors, too, at myweddingfavors.com. It's the "write" place to find favors that go great with your graffiti!
