Discussions from Wedding Reception

Hi guys! Wedding is in 3 weeks! I am so excited but still have a couple things to do. One of them is table wear! My fiance and I are very casual people. We are having a rustic wedding and don't want...

My FH and I have been toying around with whether or not to have a guestbook. If we do, it will likely be non traditional. We don’t necessarily want to do the Polaroid thing. I’ve been looking into...

How did you decide on the design and flavor(s) of your cakes?? Will they reflect your venue, color scheme, florals, season of your wedding? Also, please feel free to share pictures (or your...

My Fiancé and I are not doing a father/daughter or mother/son dance with our parents. Can anyone provide some ideas of alternatives to do during that timeframe after our first dance?

I'm helping a couple of friends plan their wedding. I know my thoughts on this (don't come at me with the pitchforks, I had an open bar at my wedding!!), but I want to see what others think. Context:...

Hey ladies, I've been thinking about doing individual table cakes as part of my centerpieces as I don't have a huge day-of team, and then just having a two tier for the sweetheart table. Is it taboo...

Hi everyone! My FH and I have officially decided on doing a dessert bar. We are doing it through a local grocery store baker so they will not be able to help us much with deciding on quantities. So...

How late was your venue open for your reception? I've looked at a few venues. two I really like but one closes at 10pm. My family, well we are party animals (Open bar? Of Course!) so is 10pm a normal...

So I plan on having an unplugged ceremony. For the reception obviously people will be free to take photos( we will even have a wedding hashtag where they can post them.) My thing is I would prefer...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to know if I'm the only one frustrated with trying to do a seating chart?! I have tried so many times to do it & at this point I think that I'm just gonna have a few...

I'm planning a wedding for this upcoming August in Brooklyn, NYC. We are planning for about 100 people, 110 max and we're trying to save as much money as we can without cheaping out. Our vibe is...

I'm a complete clutz and I don't want to spill anything on my wedding dress so I figured we'd have fancy bibs. The guests would even have one too to use and keep. I figured we could do southern...

Hi Guys! So we are getting married at the end of the month, and as far as desserts go we have opted out of a cake. We will have a donut wall, but I feel like we need something else- preferably...

Hi! I’m currently trying to figure out our first dance song. What is yours? I need some ideas!

Has anyone let their bridal party choose their entrance songs? If not, how did you choose which song for each pair or did you just play one song for all of them then a separate song for the bride...

How is everyone doing the introductions? I’d rather not do them at all, but FH wants to. He wants to do different songs for each groomsman, but with 7 guys it just feels like too much song switching...

Hello ladies! I've been working on my reception detail cards and am having a tough time with how to lay it out. It's in a different location than the ceremony itself and I would like to detail that...

What have you been served as a guest that was great or just so so bordering on bad? What did/you serve that you are hoping guests love and remember?

So we are having 60 guests at our wedding with a few I'm sure will RSVP no, and maybe 2/3 of the guests drink. Problem is FH and I are not drinkers, we just never really got into that. I have asked...

I’m getting married this November, and we are having probably 120-130ish (max) guests, including ourselves, and it will be a buffet for dinner. I didn’t want to mess with a seating chart, but now I’m...
