Just for the reception, thankfully. Milling about outside. Although then that meant missing all the waiters, who were all inside the tiny dining room and a small portion of the porch.

So shethey had time and money to make a million burlap signs... but not to get enough chairs???

ETA: I really need to stop blaming everything on the bride. My Fi would tell me to GTFO if I tried to put burlap signs on everything but not have enough seats for every butt. Both members of the couple are responsible for this travesty!

It's the danger of the "you don't need seats for cocktail hour" mindset... I can let it go when it's an actual hour, when your entire reception is a 4-hour cocktail reception, you need seats!!! Take heed, lurkers! People can't stand for 4 hours! And people won't just rotate; certain people will camp out and not budge.

But lolo basket, you felt honored handing out the programs, right? You were like, this is my moment to shine, I am helping these people by giving them programs!

I was volunteering a small theater one time, there were two of us, one of us was taking the tickets, the other was handing out the programs as people went into the theater (it was open seating). While I was handing out programs there was something happening and the ticket taker needed to go deal with it. So they told me to start taking people's tickets. So the programs got put on the table while I handled the tickets and amazingly...people just picked up programs as they walked in. Turned out people knew how to handle it.

I was super-double-mega honored that they stationed me by the door that people weren't even supposed to be coming in. If you were too dumb to find the front motherfucking door, fear not!! You will know the order of events, misspelled as they are! Cuz, you know, just CLOSING THE DOOR may have been inconvenient to someone. Someone clearly more important than me.

Wait, what?

Who puts burlap on cake? This is a new low, even for Pinterest.

APDSS22 · May 2014

Ew. I'm sorry basket, who would do that to a poor, defenseless (and possibly yummy) cake?

@beethery Excellent use of that gif. Nobody messes with the cake.
