To Create My Wedding: Reception Details

These are the things I was seeing for the reception.

I was thinking these could be great to incorporate throughout the whole wedding, invitations, or even by themselves.

If i could have these in blue or red or just the umbrella in red that would be great! Listed at $3.00 each.

Or I figured I could make my own like this bride. I would only need one umbrella stamp that I could stamp in any color and print the table number on a nice cardstock.

This stamp is listed as $8.00

I like this too but not exactly. I like the idea of the sign stuck up high in a bowl or a jar of some sort. Perhaps if there were to be a floral centerpiece or a centerpiece along the ball jar concept this could be stuck in there.

I think candids from the guests are just about the best things in the whole world. It's seeing your wedding through the guests perspectives! These are listed at 2.99 each.

I thought that this is a cute fun activity for the kids. It may not last forever but it's cute and inexpensive. I really like it. They have it where the kids take a picture of each one but I'm not sure I'd go that far.

Instead of table number specifically on each table I discovered something different that also got guest to dance. Instead of numbers, a song title would be assigned to each table, or a certain group and then when that song plays everyone sitting there is invited to move onto the stage and dance to the song. I'm not certain I could pull it off but it could be fun.

This is the cake I fell in love with. Justin and my first date was at a crepery so it is sentimental to me.

It would have to be speacially shipped to Oregon if I got them from this gal, I'm going to look into seeing if any one else could make it.

This one is my current favorite.

These also would be delightful touches. They could rest on the tables, along hallways, if they had led lights in them outside. They are fairly inexpensive as well.

I'd really like this or something like it for the "thank you" picture from the day that we'd like to send with the thank you cards. I'm also considering using it for announcing each little event like, "first dance," or "cake cutting."

Or this is where I originally got the idea from

Super cute! Plus i though it could be a fun way to incorporate other kids that will be there.

I like the idea of these in the foyer, food room, corners above the cake or throughout the entire ceiling.
