jennifer & robert – part 3: reception | heidzillas

once i was sure the ceremony was underway, i went to guys party center to be sure everything was set up perfectly – and it was!

i also alphabetized the uber unique escort cards – cranes tied with tags were placed on the table with strands of cranes hanging from the ceiling!

i assisted guests with finding their names amongst the origami and then encouraged them to sign the guest book nearby.

the back of the table numbers had the traditional story about origami cranes. guests marveled at how many paper cranes there were everywhere!

from the escort cards, to the table decor…

and even on top of the cake tiers!

once all the guests had arrived and were seated, i assisted the party with their announcements – especially being sure the bridal party knew which table was theirs since jennifer and kevin did a family head table in lieu of a bridal party head table.

post announcements, there were the traditional toasts…

…followed by the cake cuting. (action shot of photographer mark davidson)

they also had a traditional cookie table (nom! nom! nom!)

after dinner, a slide show of photos were shown. (i missed that part, i was outside tending to a guest.)

followed by the new mr. and mrs.’s first dance…

…in which they asked all guests to join in with them towards the middle of the song.

after that, guests could grab some “dancing shoes” provided in assorted sizes and colors:

also at the flip flop table, the marriage licenses of the new husband and wife and their parents were on display.

before i snuck out, mark got a shot of me with robert and jennifer. thanks again you two for letting me help you on your big day…. and congratulations!!!!!!!!!
