My venue is letting us set signature drinks for free as long as they’re made of stuff the bar package we paid for already has. For FH’s drink, since he’s super into beer (I technically am too, but...

Food Menus
Crystal, on June 16, 2022 at 3:33 AM

How are you doing your food menus? Per plate? Per table? Plated? Buffet? If you do a buffet do you still use food menus on the plates/at the tables?

What to do during cake cutting?
Spark, on July 2, 2022 at 5:43 PM

Thought of traditional bouquet toss with different meaning since everyone married but children. Maybe there's something else fun? Daddy daughter dances? Do I include mommy too? 3 daughters.
