Weddingbee boards

This might sound utterly ridiculous, and I know it is, but my FI is so intensely whimsical and random that I had to make some compromises...

#1: We're having Legos on the tables. No, there won't be that many kids at the wedding, but he wants to have a child-like feel to the whole ordeal. I agree in that I don't want our wedding to be this overly elegant, somber experience, so I allowed him this. I think it'll actually make the tables look colorful and bright, which is what I'm going for overall, so this isn't too bad.

#2: And you'll all laugh, but it was this or godforsaken carnival games of some kind...we're going to have a pinata or two (with favors inside). His idea is to set them up and have each of the married couples (we know almost no single people) come up, decide who will be blindfolded, and have the other mate try and tell them where they need to step, where they need to hit, etc. It's a "memory making moment," apparently. I just don't want it to seem like a kid's birthday party. He does not seem to particularly care about the ambience of the thing. Groan.

The whole wedding is going to be bright, colorful, and FUN. Sunflowers in the bouquets, a cupcake tower, we'll serve lemonade, have goldfish and daisies on the tables...it'll be unique, that's for sure! :)

Oh, I CANNOT let my FI read your comment, teris!! Haha! He'd be too thrilled. We've toyed with the idea of balloons, a candy buffet, and playing all sorts of silly music that we adore but may not set the right tone for the wedding. I should probably relax a little more on this- it's our day after all. Sometimes I think I get a little too wrapped up in trying to please everyone else that I forget that this is my wedding day and I'm the one who will have to remember it forever!!

rnc620 we are having our first dance choreographed as well. We are also having a choreographed Bridal Party dance. We will have a dessert bar that will be a mix of many small desserts, like mini cheesecakes, and cookies, but there will also be a mix of candy.

We are doing a photo booth guestbook and lastly because we want the guest to feel like celebrities at our reception. We are hiring fake paparazzi to snap random photos of people. Plus we want to incorporate some fun prizes for people during the reception like dance offs  and random acts of craziness

@vistagirl - What kind of interactive games? That sounds fun!

@AnnieAAA - I would love to learn the "Time of My Life" dance too but it wouldn't be the same without the lift at the end and I would be too afraid my dress would rip open or something! Plus, FI is same height as me and would never be able to do it!
