Is anyone not doing the traditional things (see list below) at the reception? I don't want to do them, but my FH does so I'm looking for alternatives or compromises.
First Dance: The thought of everyone staring at us for 3 minutes gives me a lot anxiety!
Speeches: I'd prefer to just have a welcome speech. I don't think we need speeches from MOH, Best Man and our Parents. I get bored at weddings listening to all the speeches.
Garter Toss: I'm putting my foot down and definitely not doing this. It just makes me uncomfortable
Bouquet Toss: Not as opposed to this, but I think it puts single women in a weird position. Seems kind of antiquated to me
Cake Cutting: This one I'll definitely do!
Grand Exit: On the fence on this
What are y'all doing? Everything very traditional or are you cutting out what you don't like? Any suggestions for a bride who wants less traditional but the FH wants it very traditional?
Thanks!
