all of their readings were from non-religous sources.

Thanks, and congrats :-) We're paying for most of it so we get to call most of
the shots. But any event with that many different people is going to be a bit
nerve-wracking I guess.

I love that reading! I am in the very beginning stages of planning a wedding,
and I hope that I can do things my way and not worry about others (within
reason). So I think if it's perfect for you, you should use it!

Xenos@rss.iscabbs.com — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 11:19:00 -0500

Yes and it was me, lol! The wedding has crept up on me!  I'm contemplating a
reading at the wedding (which is non-religious).  The text is 'A lovely love
story' by Edward Monkton,
www.itakeyou.co.uk/wedding-ideas/wedding-readings-poems/a-lovely-story.htm
I love it, I feel it describes us perfectly. But I'm worried it might be too,
well, silly. i can imagine the grandparents muttering 'what was that story
about a dinosaur all about?!" heh.

Whoa, last post had been almost a year ago??  Crazy.  What do you need help
with, Xenos?

Anyone still here? My wedding is fast approaching, my brain is scrambled from
trying to keep everything in there ;-)

Xenos@rss.iscabbs.com — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 09:41:00 -0500

Thanks! In the end I went for, "followed by wedding breakfast and evening
reception", "carriages at 11 o' clock" (the traditional English way of
specifying kicking-out time ;-)

Now I'm fighting with Publisher to get it to print properly.  Grrr...

Organic@rss.iscabbs.com — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 08:14:00 -0500

You can just say "reception immediately following".  If everyone going to the
reception is also going to the ceremony, then they don't need to know in
advance where hte reception is.  Or, is the reception at a different location
in the same venue?  Perhaps you could say "reception immediately following in
the grand ballroom/reception hall/etc."

(Xenos/4502) I'm planning a wedding. Mine :-)

Xenos@rss.iscabbs.com — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 05:12:00 -0500

I'm planning a wedding.  Mine :-)

I want to make my own invitations.  I'm pondering the exact wording.  We (the
bride and groom) are hosting the wedding, not our parents.  That's ok, it just
starts, "<names> request the pleasure of your company...."

I'm stumbling a bit over the bit where it says, "at.... and afterwards...."
because the venue is the same.  But I don't want to not say anything about the
evening, because I'll just have lots of people asking where the evening party
is.

"and afterwards at the same venue" sounds a bit clumsy.

Any ideas anyone?

(Xenos/4501) Not drinking games I assume?

Xenos@rss.iscabbs.com — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 04:24:00 -0500

Not drinking games I assume?

Balloons are good - passing the balloon from one person to another without
hands.  Or racing to see who can blow up the balloon to bursting the fastest
(takes some neve that).  In fact if you get a big pack of balloons you can
probably invent 101 games with a little imagination.

Twister is also fun, if you can get one from somewhere (someone usually owns a
set).

I know this forum is dead, but I'll post anyway.

Looking for a fun, unique game or two for a party where there will be lots of
drunk people.

Last year, we did the game where you put a brown paper shopping bag on the
ground and take turns grabbing it with your mouth without using your hands. It
was fun.

Looking for a few ideas of fun games to try with a fun crowd that has been
drinking :)

(Artemis/4499) The best company parties I've ever been to have been:

Artemis@rss.iscabbs.com — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:28:00 -0600

The best company parties I've ever been to have been:
#1 we went to Drivers, which was a...chucky cheese kind of place for adults.
They exist (under other names, from what I've seen) in alot of large cities. We
played lazer tag and batting cages and all that stuff, without a million kids
running around, it was alot of fun.
#2 which is more organized, we went on a dinner cruise with dancing and all
that. Granted I lived on Lake Superior at the time, so it worked out well. I
also had alot of fun at parties that were pretty casual but had alot of white
elephant gift type games, those can be a blast depending on the people.

JL@rss.iscabbs.com — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:20:00 -0600


Anyone have ideas for unique, fun entertainment for a company christmas party?

I want to avoid the typical DJ route. We've considered murder mystery, indian
dance troupe (since 50% of employees are from india), "quiz show", comedian,
magician, and motivational speaker.

I'm looking for new ideas - something you have attended and really enjoyed.

COmpletely depends on the formality of the wedding, really.  Is it in a back
yard, with a BBQ reception?  THen yes.  Is it at a ritzy country club with
champagne and smoked salmon and passed hors d'ouvers?  THen probably not....
Best thing is to ask a member of the wedding party.

(LizPhairFan/4495) Okay...I"ll be attending a wedding this afternoon.

LizPhairFan@rss.iscabbs.com — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 13:49:00 -0500

Okay...I"ll be attending a wedding this afternoon.
Hot as shit outside. And it is an outdoor wedding.
Is it appopriate to wear dress shorts and dress sandals to an outdoor wedding?
If I have to wear slacks, I will...but shit man. Too hot out!
