I would love to do something like that... the trouble is 75% of my guests don't drink... and his parents are pastors... so I kinda need to respect thatChikkenNoodul said:The most recent wedding I went to, had half-bottles of wine for each guest from a local winery

No its not. It's clear from the poll that you should ditch FB. Polls never lie*Fuxx Burger* said:Gah, its tied 4/4...... How am I supposed to pick with its even

Well it sounds as though its a west coast/east coast thing.zengirl said:You know, come to think of it, I've never been to a wedding that had favors, except for the bubbles we used outside of the church.
I've been reading a lot about it in bridal magazines, but is it a new thing? Am I really missing something?
The only reason I talk about it, because right now pretty much everything I do revolves around the wedding. I'm no wheres near being stressed out, nor do I feel like I am under pressure to have this amazing wedding. If I start thinking like that, it will never be good enough.fly said:You're thinking about this weeding too much. I bet you're gonna be fun on wedding day...
Yeah, we do the reception thing here in the midwest too, in fact only the hardcore southern baptists who don't believe in dancing or drinking do the church reception thing... which is more like Sunday fellowship than anything.*Fuxx Burger* said:Well it sounds as though its a west coast/east coast thing.
Josh had no idea what I was talking about when i started planning the reception.... receptions to them consists of nuts, mints, punch and cake at the church right after the ceremony. Where as a reception where I am from (east coast) consists of a sit down meal, toasts, favors and all that jazz. Maybe its a Canadian/American thing.... I donno.
But favors are given to your guests as a way of saying thank you for coming. Its pretty much unheard of NOT to give a gift.
We have bubbles for outside the church, but those are given at the ceremony.
Also here, anyone is invited to the ceremony, where as only certain people are invited to the reception. (Where Josh is from, everyone is invited to both). So there will be an announcement in the church bulletin inviting the whole congregation to the ceremony, but they are not all invited to the reception. Thus far my reception numbers are between 150-175. Now I am not expecting a full turn out either. I am planning for 150... hopefully everyone returns their RSVP cards. Since its an evening wedding, most of the elderly out of town guests I suspect wont drive after dark, and therefore wont go to the reception. That and there is a ton of his family we have to invite, but I know they are not gonna travel 4000 miles to see us get hitched
