The best weddings are always the ones with the best guests. People who want to get together with their friends and relatives and really enjoy the day with great food and drink and enjoy each others company.
Do not get bogged down by irrelevant detail. Get the basics right and the rest will follow. The Food and Drink are the most important. But most great weddings will be remembered long after for their post meal party atmosphere not over whether the chairs had expensive covers or the colour of the napkin rings.
Instead of boring place names for each guest. Ask them to RSVP with a photo of themselves at any age from babe to adult and use this picture as their place name. Great fun, especially if older photos of the guest are sent.
Fairy tale, romantic, historic, gastronomic, party.
