Hi ladies, I dont post on here a ton but I do read most posting and the info is always great.  I have been going back and forth on having a private reception vs the restaurant...I was hoping you all could tell me what you are doing and why?  If your doing the restaurant, what are you doing afterwards?  Does anyone know if they have live music in the bars?  Are you doing a cocktail reception at all? 

I keep going back and forth and could use some help sorting out my options!  We are going to have 40, maybe more people. 

 

Thanks in advanced for your help!!

Hi Ladies:

 

Does anyone have any opinions on the Beach BBQ option for the reception?

 

Can anyone who's already been and had bbq let me know what they thought of the food/set up/portions etc?  My concern is that the beach bbq menu may be too casual feeling.....any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to clarify - I'm referring to the beach bbq menu option, not location

We're going with the Beach BBQ menu BECAUSE of the casual feeling (I'm partial to buffet style weddings myself for this very reason).  Doubt that's much help to you  :-)

That was back-up menu. I ultimately went with the Petit Gourmet Buffet but BBQ was right up there. My FI is so picky about food and half of the wedding is from Texas where we have really good BBQ so i was a tad nervous that with people who eat good BBQ here in Houston, i didn't want them judging the BBQ there. (Even though I heard it's WONDERFUL) I do think it has a casual feel to it so it really depends on what over all feeling you want you reception to have.

I went with Private reception due to our guest list will probably be 60-80 and I had to go with it. With my package I get a private dinner for 40 that I think we are going to use for a pre-rehearsal dinner for family only (about 30 peeps)

Hi Ladies,

 

I posted in the etiquette forum but I have a situation/question that I would love some advice on from you all:

 

We sent out our save the dates this past June for our wedding in May, 2011.  Since that time one couple, whom we invited as a couple, have split up.  The interesting issue with this as well is that we only became friends with this couple recently, through another mutual friend, and they live on the east coast (we're on the west) so we don't really see either of them very often.  However, we did become somewhat closer with one part of the couple, as she is the good friend of our mutual friend.

 

We really enjoy both of these people and I'm just wondering how/what to do.  Do we invite them both separately and let them know they are each welcome to bring a guest and let them know as well that they have both been invited, so as not to be surprised by the other and make their decision accordingly?  (This is what I'm inclined to do).

 

The one who is friends with our mutual friend may likely come as a single, with the mutual friend - so I don't want that to create an awkwardness either.... Should I ask the mutual friend for her opinion?

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.  I have a feeling that they both won't come anyways, but I just want to know what other people would do in this circumstance.  Thanks!
