Too geeky a theme for reception??

[DoubleK]

that is the cutest cake i have ever seen!
i say go for it, its your day, do what the hell you want to do!!!

i agree with using the colours too, as to not stress you out incase you cant get everything mario that you want.. maybe like.. red tablecloths with the big white dots (you could sew them on yourself!)
you could somehow make (or get someone to help you, depending on how crafty you are) table centre pieces using those flower thingys with the teeth.. LOL i have all kinds of ideas floating through my head...

you could walk into the reception to the mario music...

Oh Oh Oh! You could decorate little boxes with question marks as bonboniere's

LOL @ this rate the BBG's will have your wedding set out for you

[{sarah}]

Wow you guys have some great ideas!! I think Cai is right, just get the BB wedding planners to help you sort it all out

[Kitt3n]

this is something we are going to do - as bonbonierre (SP??!!) we are going to do a double disk cd - havent yet decided exactly on what as each side, but it will be opposites like ying and yang, dusk and dawn or something.

You could have a pic of mario on one side and the princess on the other - each side with your own chosen songs!!!

Oh my gosh, you guys are enthusiastic, lol!
Those are some fab ideas!
I know where to come when i get stuck on the next thing!
Love the one for the bonboniere's Cai & that cake looks excellent too!

Kim - i love the idea for the invitations!! Yuo have soooo got me thinking with your suggestions...
Catrionalee - i originally found the cake on that site! We saw the Nintendo one but it just got better with the Mario one lol.

I think it will be mostly colour orientated STS. I wont do the whole thing mario lol.
And little things like the bonboniere's and centrepieces could be Mario etc. Rach - I LOVE the suggestion for centrepieces!
Looks like i might have to indulge my old employers with the satisfaction of buying from them again... good old Spotlight may become my best friend lol.
I was going to cross stitch the pillow as well - mum can help hers is awesome! Maybe i could make two sides, one with mario and princess peach and one with the more 'formal' look IYKWIM.

Tiggerlinda - thanks for the offer but at this stage i think i have a photographer sorted... mates rates are too much of a good deal!

Asc for the cake when i started looking at images yesterday we were going to have cupcakes and then a top tier to cut so i wonde if we could do mushroom cupcakes or turtle shells or something...

Keep the ideas coming, you guys are fantastic!

[Antheia]

Sound like a great idea! Definatly go for it.

We had a 'traditional' reception and honestly, i cannot remember any of it. It was so boring for us. But leading up to the wedding, everyone kept telling us that the reception was for the guests and not the married couple. I wish we did something more fun.

I love it.
A wedding is about you so a cake that is all about your passions is perfect.
