XP: AHR ideas needed

lisa3185

Hey ladies!  I have a celebration planned for 3 weeks after my DW (just the two of us!)  It will be a champagne brunch for about 100 guests.  After much back and forth with our families, we have decided that we want it to be a celebration of our marriage and not wedding receptionish, therefore we are leaving out almost all the elements of a traditional wedding reception (first dance, cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc...)
We will play a dvd of our ceremony and cake cutting and play a slideshow of our wedding pics.  I would like to incorporate something else into my celebration without re-doing anything we did (or should have done) on our wedding day.  I am at a loss as to what to do (if anything), any ideas?

Maybe you guys or whoever is hosting could make a toast ? And perhaps have some kind of interactive guestbook ? I would just think of things that normally happen at an anniversary party or something ... that way it is not really a reception but still a celebration of your marriage.

That's basically what we're doing too, only it's dinner vs brunch.

We're not doing anything wedding-ish really either, but we also plan to show pictures of our wedding/slideshow etc. I would agree with a toast maybe, we're planning on getting up and just thanking everyone for coming.

I wouldn't worry about keeping people entertained too much. Eating is fun enough!

WE are having pupus and tropical drinks since we are getting married on Maui. There will also be cupcakes. We plan on showing a video from the wedding, having a guest book and some games set up. Really it's just a backyard party at our house.
