Worst wedding I ever ever to - memorable for there being no food for non-family guests I mean literally none. Service at midday, family only lunch, evening reception. Everyone except the b&g expected 7.30pm reception to mean “evening meal”, most guests had fine 200 + miles and were staying 2 nights. The after party in the Chinese chippy at 9pm was fun though!
Best wedding I’ve ever been to, memorable for plenty of food and the children’s playground in the village hall garden. Venue chosen for the playground. Service at 3, quick group photos, afternoon tea in village hall whilst b&g had family photos done, speeches with fizz and wedding cake (centrepiece of the afternoon tea), dancing, huge buffet, more dancing, fish and chips from village chippy (b&g set up a tab). There were lovely, quirky and age apropruare gifts at every child’s place too. Hugely well thought out.
I have no idea if either wedding had a photo booth, glitter bar, sweetie trolley, matching turtle doves, drag act... or even sugared almonds. Full tummies, something fur everyone to drink and happy children is what you really need to aim for.
I’d have no interest in a photo booth or glitter (especially not glitter now).
