I feel like I've asked a million questions today...sorry but here is one more!
How do you feel about slideshows being projected during dinner at the reception? FI wants one....but I don't really. I don't think FI wants one badly enough to make it himself and I just do not want to take on another project before the wedding. Plus, it makes me uncomfortable to play a slide show that is essentially, "hey! look at me!" I think I have only been to one or two weddings that has actually had them, though, and they were cute and everything but I just can't help but think no one cares.
Did you have one? Do you think it was worth it?
Re: Slideshow at the reception--yay or nay?
But yes, you need to talk with the management there to see if doing so is even an option before you spend hours and money putting it together.

You'll never be subject to a cash bar, gap, potluck wedding, or b-list if you marry a Muppet Overlord.
Btw when I've seen them at the rehearsal dinner they just had a portable screen and a projector. The venues have been common for meetings/RDs/retirement dinners, etc so the restaurants actually had the equipment available for a small fee.

I can't stand a slide show at a wedding.
A funeral, now that is totally appropriate. It's way too AWish for a wedding, IMO.
I hate being forced to sit through these things. One wedding I was in featured 3 back to back and was over half an hour long. Shoot me in the face.
No slideshow = 1 less thing to plan.
I like the RD idea. If your FI is adamant about it, this might be a good way to go.
My friends had a slideshow going on an electronic picture frame that was on their guest book table. That way guests could check it out if they wanted, but it wasn't forced. It was a nice touch.
