My fiance and I are having our reception at our favorite restaurant, where we also had our first date. My question is: am I obligated to do centerpieces? I think they're unnecessary, plus I went there to eat the other night, and the tables are somewhat high, so I would either have to do a very low centerpiece or a very tall one in order to not block people's views. My FMIL is up in arms about no centerpieces, but I don't think it's necessary when the restaurant has so much character.
