Someone suggested a GREAT idea where I can print two templates on each side of my poster board. We'll be having our ceremony in church and that one will simply say, "welcome to our ceremony". I was hoping to keep it the same for the reception but we may need to add captions.
Our venue is brand new - it will be in a brand new building with a well-known restaurant on the top floor and venue on the bottom floor. The entrance to the building will not be ready but the entrance to the patio will be. We are having pictures with our guests then (during cocktail hour) bc I hate the idea from going table to table during dinner. That will be on the dock where the waterfront is, a couple feet from the entrance, past the patio goes into the building with guest book, photo display, etc..
We were thinking of writing:
"WELCOME TO OUR WEDDING RECEPTION!
Our reception officially kicks off NOW with welcome drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Enjoy the sunshine and catch up with family and close friends! There will be live music, photo opportunities, and time to mingle around before the reception festivities.
Don’t forget to sign and answer questions from our fun guest book and take a look at some of our picture displays inside. Outside on the patio, record a video message and take pictures with the newlyweds! Dinner will follow with more drinks and dancing!"
I'm thinking it may be too wordy but it's the best way to summarize everything going on. I empathize as a guest and can understand when too many things may seem like they're going on at once.
Suggestions? Keep the idea? THANKS!
