Hi, it is spelled CèilidhThe French fancy cake above - that is so good!
My uncle had a ceili (spelling?) dance at his wedding with traditional music. It was fun. I love street food at weddings or any non conventional food set up basically - the sit down meal, speeches etc everyone does is so dull now. It feels like most people follow the same template for their weddings now.
We had loads of kids at our wedding so I did a children's craft table (we had heart shaped boxes to decorate, pre cut masks to colour, Dragon finger puppets that once coloured and the heads folded and glued would twist around a small hand, loads of different coloured paper, stickers, embellishments, scissors, pots of pens, pencils, crayons & print sticks) I did it all myself - and even cut out the last few templates in the hairdressers on the morning of my wedding. I matched the pen pots and containers to my colour scheme and set most of it up the day before, while the staff were finishing off the tables. It worked really well.As we had about a dozen children, we made up some activity packs to keep them amused during each course. This proved to be popular and glad we did it.
Aww I would have been on there myself I love a good crafting sessionWe had loads of kids at our wedding so I did a children's craft table (we had heart shaped boxes to decorate, pre cut masks to colour, Dragon finger puppets that once coloured and the heads folded and glued would twist around a small hand, loads of different coloured paper, stickers, embellishments, scissors, pots of pens, pencils, crayons & print sticks) I did it all myself - and even cut out the last few templates in the hairdressers on the morning of my wedding.

MOTG....mine was a nightmare. Anyone would think it was her wedding we were planning. She was well gutted when I chose my wedding shoes....flat white ballet pumps £15.99 from Peacocks. She kept sending me links to expensive high heals knowing damn well i cannot walk in heels and I am not going to feel uncomfortable on my wedding day. She was so miffed when i shown her my flats. But look back on my wedding photos and you dont even see my feet. She was also a bit gutted that our wedding reception consisted mainly of rock music but me and DH love it and I am from a family of metal headsUsed to run events at a wedding venue and the best wedding I’ve run was carnival themed. The bride made her own table centres with carnival ideas from Pinterest, hired carnival rides, candy floss stall, churros stall, the lot! The best thing though was the table plan! She got a paddling pool and filled it with rubber ducks with each guest’s face on them and their table name on the bottom, guests had to hook a duck to find out what table they were on! Everybody loved it!
Falconry, clay pigeon shooting, donkey rides and mechanical bulls are all really fun things I’ve seen too! Perfect for that in-between time after the ceremony and before the wedding breakfast or for the evening!
I’ve always found the Mother of the Groom to be a pain in the backside, not with me but with brides. I’ve seen too many brides stressed out and cry on their wedding day because something the MOTG has said. There was this one wedding where the bride, her bridesmaids and mother were staying at the hotel the night before. It wasn’t a party as such, it was just more convenient. Anyways, they’re all sitting down to dinner in the hotel restaurant chatting away and having a lovely time and who turned up? The MOTG came storming in shouting about how she’s been left out, it’s unfair that she and the groom’s sister weren’t asked to dinner and that she hopes the bride chokes on her steakI was gobsmacked because things seemed to escalate so quickly! I later found out that there were a few fallouts surrounding who was in the bridal party (the sister was pissed she wasn’t asked to be a bridesmaid), the venue (the MOTG wanted them to marry abroad so it’d be a holiday) and they were pissed that the BRIDE AND GROOM WANTED TO GO ON THEIR HONEYMOON WITHOUT HIS FAMILY!!!
Needless to say, I spent a lot of time during that wedding making sure that these ladies didn’t butt heads. I felt so sorry for the bride though, hope she stood up to them in the end
Went to a wedding couple years ago and the groom was doing it to so....What’s the deal with taking cocaine at weddings? At the last few weddings ive been to guests have caught doing lines in the toilets. I find that so disrespectful to the couple getting married.
