We are doing a very simple wedding cake, our baker said if I decide that I want flowers on the cake to let her know. Either I could get them and give them to her (no additional fee) or she could get...

What do I absolutely have to include in a wedding reception? What parts did you include, and what did you leave out? Are there any parts I'd regret leaving out if I skipped them? Especially now when...
I believe someone already made a post about this, but I, for the life of me cannot find it anywhere, so I'm just going to make a new one. Anyway, long story short, I'm set to having my wedding this...
