I think we're going long

The latest conundrum involves the reception. Its been going back and forth between evening desert reception and a dinner. But of course they each have their challenges. The dessert reception requires seating for a lot of the guests, but it also turns out to be about double the price of what we can spend!

So we have gone back to our original idea which was to have an Indian restaurant cater a dinner. I think we're going for it. But the room we have will probably be tight with the guests that we have. Even though we have slashed the guest list, its still larger than we, or the room, would like.

But fret not, my two to three readers, it is going to be OK. We will be cozy, but we will fit. And I think that the solution comes in the form of the long table.

Let me explain...I always think of round tables as a wedding reception must. BUT, a long table is actually more space efficient. The good news is, that it turns out everyone is doing long tables now, and who am I to go against the trend? I think we will end up with a mix of round and long, but I think it will work beautifully. We eat, we will be merry, and we will sit at long tables in style.

me too--those pictures are so beautiful.

And the mix of round AND long tables will only make for a more creative space and interesting shapes--I love the idea of the Indian dinner, too. Nan is SO GOOD!!!
