Hi, welcome to the honors ceremony.  Apparently there was a mistake, and I was invited, even though I can't spell a simple world like "greet".  Have some refreshments.

Introduce the bride & groom as they enter the reception, "ladies & gentleman...may I introduce Mr & Mrs  John Smith"...applause applause...you would also do the a toast...tell some funny story about them as children or some anetdote (sp?) that their parents might share...and wish them much happiness yadda yadda...also introduce the band, thank everybody for coming...make various announcements as needed...that sort of thing...oh..& dress real nice too!

I do Wedding Videos here in Grand Rapids Mi.  There are several parks that have enclosers that you can rent.  There is one I beleive in caledonia lake side park.  This will give you the outdoor feel but still keep things dry incase it rains. We have also been to the Van Andel museum down town.  But this might cost a lot.  However it made for some great video and I will assume pictures when the couple rode the marry go round.  If you have any problems or questions email me and I can try to help or at least point you in the right direction.

Depends on what you want really!\nI am planning mine at the moment, so we can learn together! I am having it at a register office. I had to call to book an appointment with the superintendant registrar. They asked me when I wanted to get married and booked it over the phone! Next week we have to take our passports and proof of address to the register office to prove we haven't been married before.\nWe are having the reception at a local pub owned by a friend, and the flowers I am doing. I am buying silk flowers I can keep forever. My friends are making food so we can have a big huge buffet!\nGood luck with your wedding, get in touch with your wedding date if you need any more help!!

is this something you want to do yourself? if so i would try the Kraft foods website, i know they have lots of free recipes \nor one of those wedding websites like www.knot.com\n\nif you want to host the reception try calling the hotels in your area they should be able to e mail or fax menus with prices to you.

If you want a fancy ceremony, go for it.  A nice one would be in a park.  VERY inexpensive.  Or in a greenhouse.  I had mine there and they took care of everything for a VERY low price and even helped me find a minister.  I think it was like $100 and they set up the chairs and flowers and alter.  It was so beautiful.  Then we had our reception at a decent restaurant that had a buffet line.  The whole wedding only cost about $500 which is actually really cheap.  And it was wonderful to top it off.  You could get a teenager to do the music.  A friend to take pictures.  You dont need a lot of money to have an incredible wedding.  Just some imagination is all.

I am not sure if this is the same thing as a "come and go" event, but we have a very large family and often hold what we call "open houses".  I advise a 2-3 hour time frame for the event.  Refreshments can be very simple, especially if you hold the shower during the afternoon hours of 2-5 or 1-4 since this is after lunch and before dinner.  Use small plates, 6 or 8 inch and provide finger foods - fresh veggies with dip, cut-up fresh fruit, small appetizers such as little quiche or little sausages wrapped around crescent roll dough.  Dessert can be sugar cookies made in hearts with the wedding date or bride and groom's names written on them.  Miniature cupcakes would be cute, too.  Provide something that will "unite" all the guests since they won't all be there at the same time.  Maybe provide a recipe card and a 3x5 card in each guest's invitation.  Have them bring a favorite recipe on the recipe card and some "advice" for the happy couple on the 3x5 card.  Have a pretty basket available to put the card in.  As each guest leaves, give them something small as a momento since you won't be able to do much in the way of games.  Perhaps a small votive candle or a little potpourri wrapped in tulle and ribbon that match the colors of the bride's colors.  After the party, as the bride-to-be unwraps each gift, take a digital or poloroid picture of her with the gift and send it in the thank-you card to the giver.  Make sure everyone has a name tag since the guest list is large.  Another option may be to consider a different venue for the party.  A church social hall, a school gym or cafeteria, a park with a gazebo, someone's back yard, may be possibilities to allow all guests to be there at the same time.  Also, if you have anyone nice enough to ask what they can do to help, be sure to accept their offer and see if they can either help set-up or clean-up or perhaps bring a veggie tray or make cookies.  This will help financially and will be less stress for you.

I had a birthday party at the racetrack in the clubhouse for my hubby's 50th.  They served a great lunch complete with cake and ice cream.  Everyone thought it was a novel idea, had fun betting on the races and didn't know that it was all free because I was a stockholder!  But, I decided I want a Bahama Mama party for mine in a gazillion years when I'm turning 50.  I want everyone to dress up in Hawaiian attire, serve tropical drinks, play Jimmy Buffet and other Island tunes and have a luau.\n\nI might also consider an evening in Paris with a little more formal attire, sexy French music, hors d'oeuvres, aperitifs, and build myself a little eifel towel trellis in the backyard all lit up with X-Mas tree lights.

Reception locations...try a church, chruches usually offer low costs on recpetions or even a reception at home is inexpensive, free to rent.  But I think the cheapest bet would be a chruhc with a reception hall, tradtional and inexpensive.  Try different chruches and find which ones are available.

Myh husband and I went to an extremely romantic, restraunt.  I loved it cause it was small and quaint yet upscale...it was great.  Afterwards, we went to a nice bed and breakfast.  We ate our cake we froze for a year (surprisinly not that bad).  It was a nice get away & fun.  The dinner  was a special treat cause we can't afford to go to expensive restraunts...our anniversary is the only time of the year we splurge for it.  Whatever you do, make it about the 2 of you...remember your wedding day and the great reasons you love each other and got married!

The Riviera Royale Chapel inside the Riviera Hotel on Las Vegas Blvd. is a lovely, very tastefully decorated room and the staff are truly good at what they do. Different packages are available for nearly any budget. I was completely happy with every aspect of my wedding from the flowers to the photographs and my guests still mention the day as one of the most charming and traditional weddings they've attended.\nhttp://www.rivierahotelchapel.com/

I've been to events at the Hilton at South Mountain, and they are beautiful, but I fear they may be a bit pricey for your budget.  Can't hurt to check them out, though-very stunning presentations there.\nBest wishes!

Really want to visit a "large" craft show?  Go on line and type "Conneaut Lake Park, Conneaut Lake, PA, about 90 miles north of Pittsburgh.  This is a summer resort area, and I reside about 12 miles from there.  Its almost like a miniture "Kennywood", but much smaller and not near as many events, but the cost if right. (free except for the parking).  In october, each year, they have stands from all over the country, even as far away as Flordia.  I went for the first time last year, and was truthfully amazed, and I'm not one to be surprised by most things, but I was on this. Doo-Wop weekend is Memorial Day weekend, and its nice this wekend also.  They have a nice hotel to stay, or eat in also.  Go to the Internet and see for yourself.  My e-mail is doowoprobert@yahoo.com if you seek more information.
