Several years ago, I did a wedding for JOSHUA & SAMANTHA. Joshua was a contractor/builder, and Samantha had a two year old boy who loved playing with LEGO. So I incorporated both concepts into the reception with a very creative table release! Here's what I did.
Before the reception began, Samantha's "setup crew" and decorators placed several pieces of LEGO on each table next to the centerpieces.
When it was time to release the tables, I told the guests that the banquet captain would NOT release the tables. Instead, I would ask the guests to use the LEGO pieces to build homes, tying in Joshua's career as a contractor into Samantha's son's love for LEGO. The first three teams to complete the project to specifications would go next to the buffet. For example, I could ask for a two-bedroom, one-bath single story home, with two doors and five windows. Using the LEGO pieces, guests on each table built the house I asked for, and they got very creative with the construction. And of course, the first three teams to complete the project went next to the buffet.
While the houses didn't come out exactly like how you see above, the activity was a lot of fun, very personalized, and for many guests, it brought back wonderful memories of their childhood!
And finally, for VERMA, since she and DARREN are also big LEGO fans, here's an original "Save-The-Date" I found on the web.
