Need Wedding Reception Ideas
The theme of my reception is Picnic in the Gardens. The wedding will be outside and plan B is in a tent. The wedding is in the backyard of a B&B and the yard has its own decorations. The only thing I can think of is getting those table clothes in the pincic print in my wedding colors. The food being served is like what you would find at an picnic. I was also thinking of getting small picnic baskets as favors and fill them with personalized M&Ms. I haven't come across and baskets yet but still looking. Any other ideas?

Or, another idea: little picnic baskets to hold the programs and menus. Flowers on all the stationary.
In a recent issue of Martha Stuart weddings, (February or March) Martha's nephew got married. They had the appetizers set up like a farmer's market, in square baskets on carts with an umbrella thing over the cart and little rustic signs labelling the food. Then people literally could sit on areas of the backyard on nice picnic blankets to socialize...and there were areas of the garden with seating; like old rocking chairs and cool pillows. It was very inviting. But, not sure if I'd want my guests sitting on the ground to have their appetizers! Can you hang strings of lightbulbs in the backyard from tree to tree?
