A little about ASHLEY & DUSTIN'S celebration. They are going with a very "mainland" feel for their party, with the First Dance right after a very high-energy "ESPN SportsCenter"-style Grand Entrance! After the First Dance, we put in the toasts, we a few surprises planned for one of the newlyweds! Then for dinner, we're going to be releasing the tables to the buffet with a neat little trivia game that celebrates the many milestones of Ashley & Dustin's relationship--should be both fun and a learning experience for the guests! Every element of Ashley & Dustin's celebration has been personalized--from the bouquet presentation to two very special people, to the final last dance of the night--their party is a total reflection of Ashley & Dustin's personalities. It should be quite fun and original! As we get closer to the date, I'll post more info on their presentation as well as the soundtrack we will use for the night!
For our Tip of the Day, let me share the table-release idea that we're using for Ashley & Dustin's celebration. Instead of simply numbering each table 1-5, the newlyweds have numbered each table based on a year that is important to them. Thus the tables are numbered 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, and 2005. To release each table, I will read trivia from each of these years, and the guests will guess which year I am talking about. When that year is guessed, the corresponding table gets to go to the buffet! And as that table is released, I reveal the personal connection to that year.
For example:
One table will be named 1999. To release this table, I read some trivia about that year:
- 1/1: Europe begins using the Euro as the common currency.
- 1/12: A very young and innocent Britney Spears releases her first single, "Baby One More Time"
- 1/13: Michael Jordan officially retires as an NBA player...again.
- 1/31: Super Bowl 33: The Denver Broncos win their second consecutive NFL championship by beating the Atlanta FAlcons 34-19.
- 5/19: Sith lords rejoice as the first part of Darth Vader's story is told, with the release of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
When "1999" is guessed, that table gets to go the buffet! Then I reveal the connection: this was the year the newlyweds graduated from high school.
It's a fun way to entertain your guests during dinner, and the best part about it is that your guests find out something new about you!
Warmly,
Marino
