Hypothetical party-themed poll question... - Page 4

innerSpaceman · 06-12-2006, 10:49 PM

Ya know, I've never had any friends throw a weeknight wedding reception. I'd like to see one just for the rarity of it all.

Personally, I'm sick of life only consisting of those two days per week. I call shenanigans on saying those can be the only times for fun, or that partying on a school night is never allowed. My kids are allowed once in a while to ditch school to go to Disneyland, and damned if I'm not allowed to ditch work for a friend's wedding (or go in really late, and really blurry).

That's just me, though. Other people's mileage may vary. But I will go to any friend's wedding that's west of the Mississippi, weekend or no.

It's not the play or the theatre or the sets, it's all about the cast, darling. People will come to celebrate you and hubby. Your family and friends don't want you to break the bank. You could have the celebration in a series of large cardboard boxes and people would come anyway because it's you two.

Unless you plan on serving poisoned food (like we inadvertently did at my Bar Mitzvah), I wouldn't worry too much about the comestibles. My vote is for atmosphere, and most of that comes from the guest list...

So do we actually get to read the poisoned food story?

He could title it: Barf Mitzvah.

It sounds trite, but I actually think budget issues spark creativity. I think my wedding and reception were much nicer and more fun/interesting because I was trying to work within a budget. (Can't afford professional string quartet that charges a couple K? Try extremely talented amateurs working toward their union qualifications who would be happy with a couple hundred and a trip through the buffet.)

Man, this thread makes me wish I could get married again just to have another reception.
