We are planning for somewhere around 140, but expecting around 100. We are re-purposing the wedding centerpieces. There will be a tent. There will be the wedding slideshow. There will be lots of solar lights glowing like fairies. There will possibly be golf carts transporting people from the makeshift gravel parking lot to the house. There will be food.

I am not really sure how I am so spoiled as to enjoy two wedding reception so utterly fabulous. This started off as a small little get together we were going to do for our friends back home, and has turned into quite the party! I think it's going to be such a fairy tale moment when we drive up and see how everything has come together. Plus I get to wear my dress again! We aren't having a pro photographer for this one, but I am sure there will be someone to wield my mom's camera and capture the event. I'm so excited to share the details (and so many others) with you very soon!

If there are golf carts, might I suggest decorating them in tulle or ribbon? I was a bridesmaid in a wedding this summer which involved golf cart transportation and was given the task of "making the golf carts look like they fit into the wedding." Not only were they fun to decorate, but they were a huge hit with the guests!
I hope you had fun this evening! Your food sounds really tasty - I wish I was there! :)
Hope you had a fantastic time. How wonderful to be able to put your dress back on!
ethidium-I think guests are really wishing that we would have decorated them in some way so that they blocked out a little bit more of the cold!
