All my random questions that I can't seem to make decisions on

…the venue provides beer and wine, we provide hard alcohol and mixers for cocktails. Should we do a poster sized bar menu sign for our drinks or a smaller sign to just put on the bar or a bar menu for every table?

4.) Ceremony Décor - We are having the ceremony on the lawn of a mansion with the bay in the background. Does this space really need decoration and if so what should we do? (picture attached) We don't have a florist as I ordered bouquets of fake flowers online (gorgeous and only $400!) and we're making centerpieces with no flowers, so I'd like to avoid hiring a florist for just some ceremony décor if at all possible.

Thanks in advance for your answers to my randomness!

1. I like the intro, first dance, toasts, dinner, father/daughter, open dancing option.

2. As a member of the bridal party, I'm more than happy to not be introduced.

3. I'd just list the beer, wine, liquor options available on a small sign on the bar.

4. No additional decor needed.

Agree with Chapel

1. I like your first schedule---you can even start toasts while people are eating so they have something to do while listening.

2. I would just introduce you two.

3. Is there a waiter coming to take drink orders? If yes, menu at tables. If no, sign on the bar.

4. Doesn't seem like you need decor, that's very pretty as is! If you really wanted more you could do chair sashes or petals down the aisle but I think those are both a waste of money in general (and petals not allowed at most venues).

Chapel nailed it.

Our dinner is a 3-course meal, would it be weird to do intro, dances, father toast/blessing by our priest, first course, bm/moh toasts? To break it up a little?

Thanks everyone! I'm glad every one seems to agree ceremony decor is not necessary, that was the one thing that I honestly didn't think about until like today and I was not looking forward to having to shell out another few hundred bucks to decorate a space we use for like 30 minutes.

AMW - no waiter, it's buffet and then there's two bars - one inside the mansion, one on the patio. We did a menu of the food for each table so people would know what to expect at the buffet, but I wasn't sure if it made sense to do one for the bar at each table as people would then need to get up and walk to the bar, and then I wasn't sure if a huge sign was necessary, or if something just printed up on some cardstock and put on the bar was enough. I think I may be overthinking this one a bit...
