We are planning on having our wedding ceremony at Jones Lake State Park.
My Idea: I would like to return to our backyard to have the reception (less than 30 minutes distance). FI says "whatever you want to do is fine, I don't care." okay, that's NO help! So I would like you ladies to give me objective opinions....preferably from the guests' point of view.
Reception plan for the backyard -- general mingling with the guests, BBQ and all the fixins, music, cake, and for later on in the evening, a bonfire (this is mostly for our age guests, since we are planning the ceremony for 12 pm and figuring the reception is probably going to start around 1:30 or so). Also, possibly some lawn games as there will be several children/teenage guests, but not positive on this yet.
TIA!
