Wedding Ideas!!

[Karen]

We didn't have any alcohol at our reception, just a light lunch and people had a nice time sitting around and gabbing. There was no dancing, because I am a klutz AND my brudder forgot the record player, but having Uncle Mac there (his other errand for the day) was far more important. We didn't have any organized activities, people just socialized.

If you are looking for nice activities for the reception, I was at one recently where the couple had prepared a slide show (all digital of course) of pictures of their life together, and pets. Also one nice thing from another wedding was the couple had a large white matte that they planned to display their wedding picture in, and all the guests signed it, with little saying and best wishes.

You can have toasts without alcohol - people just raise their glasses of ginger ale, water - whatever! - and toast.

Excited and nervous are both normal. As for favors, is there any theme or color scheme to the wedding?

See i have never figured out what theme meant! I mean our dresses are claret (ill add pictures of the dresses and some of my dress. I thought of the picture idea but I have no idea how to do that because i am very tech unsavy. Do they do speeches at weddings or anything like that?!?!

My sister and brother in law sort of had a "castle" theme. We tented a big, bland civic center room with gossamer and they had a castle cake and there were shields on the walls of each of the families' crests. The party favors with those gold chocolate coins in velvet draw string bags I think. Another friend was married on a beach at a light house in South Carolina. Her favors were cookie cutters in the shape of a shell, a lighthouse and a starfish. They were tied on to card stock that was printed with their names and wedding date. It also said, "Bride and groom's name were cut out for each other." Perhaps you could modify the cookie cutters to something more appropriate for your situation. There are tons of them and you can buy them in bulk on Ebay.

ooh... wedding.. yay!!.. I wish I_ could do it all over again..every day I come up with one thing i wish I had done back then.. lol..

we did dance.. but not any formal way.. just moved to the music.. lol.. practically swinging side to side hehe..

as for drinks.. we did have.. but I don´t drink so I toasted with sprite.. yeah.. I didn´t care and did it that way...

I would´ve loved to have a chocolate fountain with donuts..yummy...

we don´t give favors to people attending.. but it depends as Karen said as if you have a color or theme in mind..
you ca do it in s sort of lounge reception.. more like a chit chat mingle event rather than dancing and drinking.. or you can have music so whoever wants to dance can do it.. but you are not obligued to do so..

I skipped the lace in leg part for two reasons.. I forgot and we didn´t wanted to do it anyway.. so.. being your wedding you can skip the dancing part if you want.. it´s YOUR wedding afterall

Hahaha the chocolate fountain with donuts made me laugh. It wouldn't thrill me cuz i dont like chocolate or donuts but it would thrill my fiancee. I have NEVER EVER met someone who loves food as much as him. haha

Everyone I have ever talked to has said that you have to have favors so im really confused.

Whats the lace in leg part?
