Who Wants to Play???

In an effort to make this wedding interesting and fun, Chris and I have decided to include a Twister Competition. Well, ok, Chris picked Twister. I thought Bingo would have been fun, but he nixed that idea. He thought Twister would be cool and you know what- Maybe it will be hilarious to see people in semi-formal outfits bending and 'twisting' on the floor to see who wins the ultimate prize.



I think we'll have dinner, cut the cake, eat the cake, dance a little, and then have Twister with the Mister. Yes, I am going to make Chris play! (I just can't quite imagine how I would be able to do anything in my dress; although it might make for a great picture.) I am going to have to come up with something fun to get people excited about playing. There will be at least 3 games going on at once with 4 people to mat. The 3 winners will then fight it out on one mat and the winner of that game has to play Chris in the final round.



I'm not sure Chris knows his part in this whole story. He'll be surprised and somehow I will have to convince him to play.



On other fronts...The guest list has ballooned to about 115. Yikes. I don't really expect all of those people to come, but the problem is- what if they do? If more than 75 of them come, the numbers get to big to use the rooms I had planned on at the Stanley and of course my first pick of the larger rooms is already reserved for August 8. So I guess I need to be safe rather than sorry and reserve a room big enough just in case more than 75 people come. That means the Pinon and Billard room will have to work for the reception. They are two ajoining rooms that seat up to 96 for dinner. Watch- only 60 people will come and we could have easily fit into the Music Room. Oh well. In the bigger picture of life, does it really matter? It will be beautiful no matter where we have it.



The question then becomes- inside or outside ceremony? We are at such a beautiful location it would be heartbreaking not to do it outside, but with the outside comes wind and sun and rain. They do offer an inside option incase of inclement weather so I should just choose outside and go with it.



Here is a picture of the Pinion Room set up for a ceremony. I love the dark woodwork and the gold floors. Perfect for my color scheme!!

**UPDATE** OK, Pinion and Billard Room are taken so I am going to have the reception in the Music Room and just pray that no more than 80 or so show up. The Ceremony is going to be on the Front Lawn.
