Got myself in a panic reading all these 'worst weddings' threads. I'm getting married very very soon and have only had 2 months to plan it. If I give a run down of the day, can you tell me if you would be happy to have attended?? Or is there things I can change?!
Invites had no request for gifts or money, just simply invited to the wedding and a party afterwards.
2pm:
Wedding in local church that has a little play area (think toy kitchen and a few toys) down the side. Childminder will be stationed there so any kids can play whilst the ceremony is happening.
The church is used for a playgroup during the week and is very family friendly. The vicar doesn't mind any noise etc
After the ceremony there will be Tea, coffee, water, juice and danishes served down the other side of the church. (There's little tables and chairs for people to sit, very relaxed setting!)
This will be happening whilst the photographs are being taken. Photographer has a list of people's names and what photos are required so is just going to call people outside as they're needed. Photos should last about 45 minutes.
Party from 4:30pm:
Then onto the party. It's in a social club, glass of bubbly/water/wine/orange juice on arrival and straight in for the buffet! It's serve yourself, all the usual cold buffet stuff as well as three hot options. There's a dessert station and a candy bar.
The music played through this bit is just a quiet playlist of our own choosing. Our DS has SEN and can't bare loud music, so we're not having a DJ just sorting it ourselves so we can control the volume. Plus, we'd like people to be able to chat whilst they're eating!
After the food there will be a few very short speeches, then music and some little games for the kids there (there will be a few!) there's a bar as well.
Then an hour or so before the venue shuts we're having a load of pizza delivered for people to eat/take home with them.
Wedding favours are little 'Thank your for attending' cards, with an Autism charity badge pinned to it. (DS1 is autistic)
There's about 80-100 guests, the buffet is for 100 so I'm not too worried about not having enough food! Just worried it's too informal having a buffet?
Is there anything you'd change about this?!
