At Home Reception
We just had our at home reception last week (although it wasn't really at home since it wasn't in the same city) and we had an amazing time. We didn't have a professional photographer, so the pictures I have are not great, especially since everyone taking them was drinking
Anyway, here is what I have so far, hopefully I will have better ones later!
We had a pottery platter "guest book" for people to sign, and had a digital frame with all our WDW pictures playing
Our favours were chocolate dipped pretzels wrapped two to a pack with our stickers on top that we made awhile ago
The centerpieces that we kind of put together last minute, but they looked really nice in person, and now we have tons of candle holders/vases left over!
We had a table that displayed a lot of our photos, including one of our shutterfly books
The food was really good, it was a lot of hor derves and cheese fondue!
We also did a lot of catching up (since we don't live in the same city as 90% of the people there) and a lot of drinking. I don't have too many pictures of that...hopefully more people have some.
Our family and friends brought us lots of amazing gifts. We decided to use the cash as a deposit for the Mediterranean cruise (through Disney), and the rest as savings towards it, but we will still wait until I get a job until we book it. We also received a lot of really nice stuff for our apartment, which we had registered for previously. We were definitely very lucky.
So unless I am sent more pictures from people that turned out better, this pretty much wraps up everything. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped and supported me the whole way (even if you just said "nice pics"). I didn't always have a lot of people supporting me, so the boards here have really played a huge role in my DFTW planning as well as provided a great place to share my joy with after.
I hope I can keep in touch with all of you, those who are still planning, and those who have already had their big day
