Need help

Hi ladies. My parents are renewing their vows in June (in celebration of their 20th wedding anniversary). My Mom's best friend wants to throw her a luncheon (no gifts, specifially stated in the invitation). She has written on the invitation 'Just an excuse to eat cake!'. She wants each guest to write a special memory that they have of my Mom on a card that will be enclosed in the invitation in lieu of a gift. And we plan on reading them at the luncheon. Now for my question. My Mom's friend wants to know what else we can do for the 4 hours besides eat, chit chat and read the cards. Can anyone suggest any kind of games or something we can do to make more special?

Thanks, ladies!~

That is soo great. What a wonderful reason to celebrate.
I have a few ideas:
First- you shouldn't write on the invite 'no gifts' since telling guests what to or not to bring is not in good form.
I LOVE the idea of the special memory letters. You can also create a video tape of special photos set to your parents wedding song. Lots of places do it. We did this for my Grandma's 75th birthday party and it was beautiful. It brought tears to her eyes to see photos that she had forgotten all about.

Oh that is a nice idea. :)

Well I think they are in the mail already. I hope people won't think of us as rude. We just wanted it to be clear that presents were not necessary only their presence. Maybe she didn't even put it in, I don't know.

P.S. I am so happy for you and Scott. :) You deserve the best of all life has to offer! :))

Thank you SOOO much. I can only hope that in 20 years from now my little one will be asking her friends the same questions you are asking today

Awe, thank you Michele! I am sure she or he will be! :)

You are a wonderful person and will make an even more wonderful Mom! I am truly happy for you and wish you the best! You are one of the girls I always think about when I flashback to when I first joined LIWeddings! :)

for my sisters shower...I took pictures of her from all different ages and people had to write down how old they thought she was...

you can do this and she how close people are...

photo montage is a must!!!
