That's little P and little E.
Both are going to make an appearance at the wedding reception. On the big screen. As a slideshow. We're coming up with all sorts of things to happen at the reception to up the interesting factor. Receptions usually involve drinks, dinner and dancing. All fun but if you aren't a big dancer (my fabulous girlfriends) or don't know a lot of people (our parents) can get a little long and boring. Yep. I said it.
We're having a slide show (about 4 minutes long) of photos of us growing up and then together. Whenever I see wedding slide shows, I get teary. We are also going to play a little "get to know the bride & groom" game that I have seen done at many of my cousins' weddings. I will explain it in more detail as the time gets closer.
I am also planning on having a little "reception program" on the tables with the menus. So many tiny details go completely un-explained at receptions. Things like "who's giving the toasts and how they know the couple?" Things like "Why is this the song that the bride & groom choose to dance to?" "Why are the bride and her dad dancing to this song?" I know that the DJ can say all this stuff but often the DJ gets ignored or his words get lost. I want everything out there in case people are interested.
Working hard to make the whole party feel just like us.
