Must Have:
My FI
Family/My BMs
Excellent dress & hair
Lots of food and drink
A relaxed fun atmosphere, annoying nitpicky people can stay home!

Don't Care:
Cake
Decorations
Speeches
Any religious stuff

I've never heard of this dollar dance business before. And what's a receiving line?

[Hartyt509]

I think a receiving line is where you stand to say hi and thanks for coming to the guests

It sounds more like a Stag & Doe thing!

[Danyelle]

Um...okay, now what's stag and doe??

 

Geez i'm a real loser with all this terminology.

[itsfinallyhere]

Stag and Doe is a fun party held in honor of the bride and groom before you get married. Kind of like a bachelor and bachelorette party combined. Its suppose to help raise money for the wedding. So people play games for money and gamble in order to help out the couple. No gifts at these just cash, alcohol, and lots of fun.

 

Must Haves....

Family & friends

My dad walking me down the isle

I want to look amazing! (dress, hair, make-up)

good food and endless supply of alcohol (to endure the family)

Music

 

Don't Care For

garter

speeches

receiving line ( anything too stiff)

 

I want everyone to be relaxed and have fun!

[Danyelle]

I'm loving everyone's lists!

 

I'm stealing a must have - me looking AMAZING!
