For a new twist on place-cards, guests could find a "Key to their Seat" at this table, where each guest had a vintage skeleton key tagged with a typewritten name and table assignment. How cool?
At a nearby table, a classic typewriter was stocked with paper. Guests were invited to share their thoughts! This was a popular table and I imagine gave Emily and John plenty of good laughs later. :) Another cool idea!
Emily and John's centerpieces were bundles of classic literature! Guests could take home a classic, to remember the day. Each table also had a floral arrangement and disposable cameras. These are always a big hit. The party rocked well into the night, with guests loving an eclectic mix of everything from Footloose to Shout. Emily and John gave me a great starting point on their music tastes, and I filled in the blanks.
Their wedding day also happened to be John's aunt Emmy's bithday! I surprised her (and maybe embarrassed her a little @ John's request) by having all 150 guests sing happy birthday to her, and followed it up with her favorite song "The B52's - Rock Lobster"! Aunt Emmy danced her little heart out, and the entire party went into high gear.
I was flattered by the many compliments I received, especially from John's family who hosted the day- but the pleasure was indeed mine. Their wedding was very much a family reunion. It's not often that a family comes together for a big event like this. Lots of laughing, dancing, drinking, and making memories that will last forever. It's so awesome to play a pivotal roll in that kind of day. Thanks Emily & John!
