So far, overwhelming support for the all white chairs. (Thank you, that's the answer I wanted.)
HOWEVER, my friend Katie from work is also getting married this year, so we did some brainstorming for alternatives...I think we have some winners:
1. Customized Erin and Matt folding lawn chairs that guests can take with them as parting gifts.
2. While searching the internet for the customized chairs, we came across mini 3 inch folding chairs that can be personalized. Guests could hold the chairs while imagining themselves comfortably seated!
3. BYOC (Bring your own chair) because who doesn't own an abundance of folding chairs?
4. Giant bean bags in the amphitheater.
5. Picnic blankets!
6. Please sign the guest book, here's your program, and a chair to take with you to the amphitheater. Please return it at the conclusion of the ceremony.
And my personal favorite:
7. Half an hour into the ceremony, we ask all the guests to stand while a tuxedo clad delivery person comes to take away your chair. We will ask the delivery man to wear a Phantom of the Opera style mask and cape to complete the effect.
Nothing but class for this wedding!
hahaha- I still think these are all winners in my book. Now comments based off of each listing :)
ReplyDelete1. I still think the customized folding chairs would be awesome. I think it will be something you appreciate in the future when you find them at goodwill and see them at tailgates. (Especially if the ppl at the tailgate using your chair weren't invited to your wedding.. then you know they got them at good will.
2. 3 inch mini chairs... no comments as I'm remembering the laughter when we found out they were tini
3. BYOC- I will bring a long folding long chair used to tan myself and will be laying down at your wedding
4. Bean bags- "Grandma's in the middle!" ha!
5. Picnic blankets- "it's a feng shui wedding!"
6. It's like a non-profit event. Check-in get your gift.. it's a DIY wedding!!
7. Phantom of the Opera- THE BEST!!! Remember he has to walk with a limp and have a creepy British voice. The best will be when the minister says "Please stand...... So that the Phantom of the Opera (POTO) can take your chairs." Aparently broadway isnt' paying that well these days that the POTO has a side gig in the chair rental biz.
If no one else chooses to make any suggestions then you're going to HAVE to go with one of these.
