    Hell yeah I'm in.  I'm extremely bored right now.  I need to go to Verizon but am instead sitting here knotting.

    [QUOTE]If I were having a seating chart, I would totally do the numbers with pics of us as kids at that age. My potential venue is only providing enough tables for about 65% of my guests though.

    Sounds like a solid plan.  Let 65% sit, but only feed the other 35%.  It's absolutely imperative that you keep it fair.

    Yeah I need to go get some drugs, but it's cold outside and I don't want to go outside.  It's cold enough in my house.

    I could mail you some of my leftovers from my jacked up wrist and surgery.  But that would take a few days.

    I've got some vicodin, but I'm getting a steroid pack and some anti-inflammatories.  Hopefully that will help.   
    So I'm going to Vegas in July for my friend's bachelorette party.... that means my free SW ticket needs to be used elsewhere since it expires in June.

    How about you and your H come on the Alaskan cruise with us?


    Okay I need to go shower and go to Verizon.  I'm just being ridiculously lazy now, and my minute count is going higher and higher over my limit as it is.  I'll be back later.

    Ha ha, you guys.

    Only 65% are included, and each additional table is some ridiculously expensive upcharge. It bothers the piss out of me, but I was reading on some board (maybe my local board?) that vendors are actually recommending that you only get seating for 65% of your guests for a buffet wedding, since not everyone is going to be sitting at once. How in the hell does that make sense?

    The place also doesn't allow you to serve red wine, and my mom's side of the family doesn't drink white wine, so I think this place is probably going to get scratched off the list. Shame though, cus it's super pretty.

    That's bad advice.  Your guests will likely all want a seat during your entrance (if you're having one) your dances, your toasts, and other wedding-y things.  And what are the chances that 35% of your guests will decide to mill around aimlessly while the rest of the guests eat?  That's just silly.  Those people are silly.  You've got the right idea about scratching this venue off your list.

    At my wedding we did table years with pictures of us from that year. We started the year I was born, 1982 and so on. People really liked it!
