So I plan to have a small table with a candle and pictures of the family members who have passed at our reception, but dont know where to put it? what do you think? in cocktail hour? next to cake during reception? where are you putting yours if your doing one? tia!!

I was going to do this but decided to use butterflies instead. And we're putting the butterflies throughout the centerpieces and on the tables.

But if we were gonna use the candles, I was going to put them on a table inside the reception room near the cake.

i like the idea of making it part of the sign-in table. i saw that on a blog and it was really pretty.

I'm not having escort cards (no assigned seating) so I'm using the table that would normally be used for that to hold a nice arrangment in the center, my card box to one side and a candle with two frames of my dad and his mom on the other.  its right when you walk in but off to one side.  I wanted it to be visible but not intrusive.

I was also wondering this... Is it ok to put in with on the cardbox table?

I like this and think its a lovely idea to have it either near the cake or part of the escort table...I might steal that idea

I will either do near the guest book, give guests something to look at while waiting to sign.

Or at the cake table... where it won't be so in your face. I will be memorializing my mom, FI's dad in larger photo frames maybe 5x7's? Think 8x10's would be too big...
Also will have smaller, 3x5 or 4x6's photos for FI's grandfather, BM's brother & my friend Vinny who was kidnapped and murdered last month. I am inviting some of his family and I think it would mean a lot to them to have him recognized.

I will be having a memorial table all by itself somewhere in the reception room...probably in a high volume area....

I'm having a separate memorial table as well, at the entrance, next to the escort table...with candles and picture frames

Thanks for the great ideas, ladies.  I'm trying to figure out what to do (my brother passed away a few years ago).  I may put a line in the program, and we'll have little cards letting the guests know that we donated money towards the scholarship we have in his name in lieu of favors.
