How can we mention it in the invites that the guests must pay for their own meals at the reception? We don't want to sound cheap, but our guest list keeps growing and everyone is intending on coming, my fiance and I are not receiving any $$ aid from either of our families (just because they cannot afford to help), and so cannot pay for everyone's meals. Help!

I love the look this gives off, very dark and elegant

good advice everyone, thanks I am sort of in the same boat!

wow, for me its the opposite, I have always seen seating plans, and have decided to go for one myself because I am scared that it may get chaotic without one for our 160 guests

its really beautiful.

we will send all our positive energy your way.

You could try taking a thick ribbon, the color of your wedding accent, and wrapping it around the vase. Then you can take a thinner piece of ribbon and wrap that around the stems of your flowers, try adding a few more flowers too.

Trying using a couple more of those flowers, and then maybe just use a ribbon that matches that rest of you wedding colors to wrap around the vase.

I really like the ones of the ceremony by the water, he did a great job and they will be something to cherish forever

Ah I wish there were something like this closer to our place!

I really like it, its simple and beautiful
