Extra details for your reception...

My hall set everything up

I had
-my canvas hanging above the mantle.
-Photos in the lobby, which were then moved to outside the reception hall
-slipper and flip flop baskets
-little bells to ring
-activity bags for the kids
-a channa plaque
-a cinderella plaque
-mickey/minnie ears for us to wear

and of course the usual cake knife/server, toasting flutes, cake topper, etc. My hall took care of everything. I didn't have and didn'r need a DOC

I'm having:

- DIY table numbers
- DIY place cards
- Canvas
- Channa plaque
- Possibly doing 'I Do' letters for the cake table

ETA- I'm assuming my hall will do most of the setting up but I have a day of coordinator to ensure that things run smoothly.

Did the flip flops get used? I'm thinking about doingthis but worried that no one will use them.

I did slippers AND flip flops. I was originally doing just flip flops but then my mom and her friends complained that older people don't like flip flops and what if they are wearing stockings. I had 25 pairs of slippers and they were GONE by the end of the night. I still have a good portion of my 50 pairs of flip flops left, but they were a hit too and several people thanked me for saving their feet. I would recommend doing either just slippers or a mix of flips and slippers, since they seemed more popular

My DOC/friend supervised all the set up at the hall.

Since the wedding was the day before Mother's Day we had a poem in a frame next to a vase of yellow roses for the mom's to take as they left:



DIY menus in a napkin fold:



Frames on the piano:



Personalized Toasting boots (as yes I'm lame and have water in mine):

A framed invite

I think the DOC's can get everything there or we will...but the BM and DOC will make sure everything will get set up

my hall gave us a checklist of what to bring and when to bring it...

we got outdoor cocktail hour thrown in for free, and uplighting for free
