Order Toasts Wedding Reception
September 18, 2002
interesting wedding reception ideas?
we are getting married in hawaii in December and having the wedding reception in January. I have ordered some starfish an sand dollars off ebay to place on the dinner tables around the candles..
we want to play a slide show or video of the wedding itself…
should we still do the toasts and everything?? or not.
should we have our friends/family stand up and say things about the both of us?? instead?
I want to make a shutterfly book and place it on the table next to the guest book of our story how we met up to getting married…
what other unique ideas could or should i do/consider?
I have two ideas for you, both of which might replace or partner with your guest book. I have been to a wedding where they had a large photo of the bride and groom with a large mat surrounding in which the guests all signed and congratulated on. This now hangs in their bedroom 5 years later 
. I have also been to a wedding in which they had someone take poloriod pictures of everyone that attended, the guests then signed and congratulated on the bottom of the pic, and the pic was attached to their guest book.
Also, I say yes, still have them toast you and give speeches. Those are separate from the book and slide show. I actually enjoy the stories you hear from siblings, parents, close friends. For my wedding I had no idea what was going to be said, and all of our siblings gave such wonderful, touching, even funny speeches. And then some guests surprised everyone asking for the mic to say their own stories, it was fun.
Congrats!
The BEST Best Man Speech EVER
