Pix...

Isn't there a community center in the Ranch Club for the residents?

DoWhat offered up the Elks Lodge earlier (but that means you will have to invite him... :eyebrow:

) It is larger than the VFW and has a much more "regal" name... :drama:

Since you are talking a late reception... I assume you won't be catering a dinner, but will be providing "finger foods" instead... might I suggest you PM Airgasm as he does some catering on the side.

Yes, it fits 200 people, I can have booze, can rent it till 1:00 in the morning and is cheap. Gold star! :killingme

I'm all about good timing now... say 7:00 wedding, 8:00 reception good?

I can't go to a wedding and reception that doesn't have any food. I'd have to chew and arm off or something.

:lmao:

Yes, finger foods, desserts and booze! Party Pixie and B style! :yay:

Typically, evening weddings serve a dinner...especially if they serve alcohol. You are going to have to pick a time that will allow people to eat something other than finger food...unless it will be "heavy" finger food.

And I understand money is an object. But we went through this with my son's wedding a few years back.

There will be plenty of food, just not a super formal sit down meal. That's too stuffy and I've personally never been to one that was all that great. The best I've heard of was Nic's which was catered by Randy's Ribs because it was "real food that people enjoyed" quoted from Christy. Wouldn't you rather pigs in a blanket and the like to some crappy ass chicken that's been kept warm for so long it's rubbery?

... but if she ends up having a 8 p.m. reception... most folks will eat dinner before they hit the wedding... it makes sense that it would be "heavy" finger foods... I sure would hope she doesn't plan to on getting away with just chips, pretzels and popcorn... :lol:

Are you saying we are all invited? If so, that time sounds great! :love:

That's why the timing is important. A 7 pm wedding and an 8 reception would allow for guests to eat first.

No, if I have a wedding at 7:00 in the evening that's well after normal dinner hours as it is. Of course the invitation would specifically state that it is a "cocktail hour" reception. If people can't deduce that they should eat dinner before a 7:00 wedding and 8:00 "cocktail hour" reception than I really don't know what to say.

I think me, you and Catt are all on the same page with this... now we have to get Vrai to agree to a reception at the CRE hall... :tap:

We're unanimous!

I like the CRE hall because you can say "I had my reception at the Chesapeake Ranch Estates hall", which sounds nicer than "the VFW".

7pm wedding with an 8pm reception is perfect. And I like heavy hors d'oeuvres instead of a sit down dinner - it's more festive, I think.

:yay:

Thank you! I couldn't spell that to save my life... hence the "finger foods" reference... :doh:

It's actually the CRE Clubhouse. We're high faloutin' now! :killingme

Actually B had me sold on the idea when he said we could drink as much as we wanted and be 5 minutes from home. SOLD!
