We have decided to elope and only our parents and siblings will be in attendance for the ceremony. Originally we were inviting all our friends and were going to have a best man and maid of honor. We are having a reception the weekend after we are married. I have talked to the would be best man and maid of honor and they are totally cool with it. But I would like some ideas of how to make them stand out or feel special during our reception party. Any ideas?

Write them a heartfelt letter and tell them what their friendship has meant to you over the years. That will be treasured forever.

Make a special toast to them at the reception.

I used to have balls. Blue balls, that is.
