Our commitment ceremony was part of the FEAST festival in Adelaide. It was a group event with 17 couples taking part, funded by FEAST. There was a wedding cake competition (which we came 2nd - but to a store bought cake lol), the decorations were giant paper flowers that the feast committee had made, and the reception was a big picnic event that all guests bought something to share. It was just a great relaxed day.
I just couldn't see us being all stiff and proper - if we were like that we would have each married a bloke instead of each other LMAO!
Just wanted to mention this though, after your comment on set menus...How many people are you expecting to attend the dinner? Did you have any ideas on the type of restaurant? I ask this because many restaurants will supply only a limited or set menu to large parties of people. Just make sure you check this out before committing to a particular restaurant
I just had to write as you mentioned not liking the set menu idea but I think you need to negotiate a fixed range of dinner choices at the same price per person so everyone pays the same. It would be horrible to have the hassle of working out the bill at such a special dinner.
Then make sure guests have to get their own drinks at the bar so they are paid for up front- no nasty surprises on the bill at the end!
