Reception Details
SOOO many things are going into the reception to make it special! Here's a listing of things we are having at our reception!
FOOD!!!
Who DOESN'T LOVE food!? We're going to have A LOT of food, seeing as we LOVE food. We are going to have a cocktail hour while we are taking pictures after the ceremony. During this, a light fare will be served. Once we arrive, we plan to have a full Italian feast. We haven't made a full menu yet but I'll keep you updated!!
Sweetheart Table
We are having a sweetheart table, versus having a bridal party table. I was in a wedding last summer, and it was just awkward having to sit in front of everyone and eat while the bride and groom walked around and talked to people. As a bride myself, I want to have time with my new groom to eat and enjoy ourselves and have people come to us. I found these little signs to place on our chairs so everyone knows this is OUR table! :)
Favors Sign
In lieu of favors, we are making a donation to the ASPCA because Austin and I are both huge animal lovers (if you couldn't already tell!). I am having a frame made and matted, with a little sign underneath that says something like "In lieu of favors, a donation has been made in your name to the ASPCA". This picture, one of our engagements with our beloved dog will be hung in a central location at the reception venue.
