Especially in terms of your reception hall.
How are you or how did you make your reception hall reflect you and FI/DH as a couple? What did you add/decorate with to make it more visually interesting?
FI has left all this to me, so let's see.
*I plan on making signs for everything- Bathroom, bar with list of available drinks, Mr. and Mrs. chair signs, Candy Buffet sign (that I may use a chalk board for based off a picture I found), and a gift table sign.
*I am adding a table of fun activities in the back of the ballroom (tons of room for it, so it will be out of the way). I am covering the table (both the fun table and the kid's dinner table) in butcher paper so they can color, having legos and barbies, coloring books, and some other fun stuff for them to do.
*I am thinking about doing a "scrapbook" or "wishing well" table in the cocktail area, where guests can write well wishes to us on little pieces of paper, and either stick them in a vase or place on a page in a scrapbook.
*Over either the guestbook area (different from the scrapbook area) or the escort card table, I am going to do a picture collage of FI and I during our relationship. I haven't decided if it will be poster style (framed) or pinned to various levels of clothesline.
*Near the candy buffet or gift table, I plan on doing a picture collage. I want to get a wedding photo of married guests (with a description on the bottom of who they are, how they are related to us, and the year they were married) and either do a poster style or find a folding screen and attach them to the folding screen.
*On the candy buffet, we got flameless tea lights and easter grass (in my colors). We plan on taking some glass vases, placing the easter grass in them, and burying the tealights inside the grass- we found the idea online and the effect is really neat and inexpensive.
I would love to do more, but don't know where else to go. Anyone want to jump in and add some ideas, and start the creativity ball rolling in my head?
