How did you handle the setup and such of your ceremony and reception??
My fiance and I will be doing pretty much everything on our own and this is something that I've been wondering about...
We're having a tiny, super simple ceremony outside at a park, in the evening, followed by dessert (that we're making together) and wine/champagne (also in the park)-- but how should we go about setup, getting ready first, afterward, somewhere in the park... There's so much going on in my head!!
My family volunteered to help, and although I appreciate their love and support, I wanted to make sure everything was done correctly. So we came up with a "Decorating Duty List", and broke up the decorating into smaller tasks. Then our family members got to pick which ones they wanted to do according to their comfort level (moms are decorating tables, dads are hanging objects from the ceiling, etc.). They actually got excited about choosing how they would be contributing!
