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.
That is F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C !!!!! I loooove when a wedding is a little different, you know, more personal and fun for everyone. Our cake was also a little different and we had everybodies place cards as thier first name and a little nickname so for example instead of Harry Smith or Sophie Smith, it was like, Hilarious Harry (a friend that always cracks us up ! ) and Sassy Sophie ( she really is ! ) We also had singing waiters which people still bring up as being a highlight and that was over 3 years ago ! So I say go for it ! It's the quirky weddings you remember anyway
That's awesome Ash! Go for it - your wedding is about you!!
Cai, friends of ours had a similar cake to the one you like, except the toppers were very funky little skeleton bride and groom. It was exceptionally cool (and yummy too, it was a mudcake)!
Other friends of ours had a sci-fi/anime themed wedding. Nearly everybody dressed up, including the parents of the bride and groom and the celebrant. It was held at Darling Harbour, and I got asked by a Japanese tourist whether it was a sci-fi convention. She was a bit surprised when I told her that it was a wedding. Everyone had so much fun helping the bride and groom celebrate in a way that really reflected them!
Definately go for it ash (you already know we're not having a traditional wedding) the reception is all about you & your personalities IMO
Everyone who goes will remember it for a very long time "Remember when went to Ash's wedding & they had that mario cake" IYKWIM
