My one and only brother Warren got
married last month in Salt Lake City, Utah. And since he's my brother, and this is my blog, he's getting
an epic preview of his fabulous dinner. So there. And seriously, could the bride be any more beautiful? I'm hoping that he and his gorgeous bride
can relive the event while they wait for their wedding photographer to hurry up get them the rest of their pictures (that's me).
It's
the tradition that the groom host the wedding dinner or breakfast, so
my family was in charge of this event. We all pulled together to help
with all the DIY centerpieces and favors. We love events, and it's
always fun to have excuses to craft and work together as a family.
My amazing sister Erin of Hallmark Ink custom designed all the printed materials for the wedding, including the fabulous invitations,
and my most favorite idea is seen here at the wedding dinner with the
seat assignment cards. Erin's idea was to have the guests take their
name card, find their seat, then write a wish or advice right on the
back of their name card and return it to the entry table. It turned the
necessary seat assignment cards into keepsakes with well-wishes and
advice for the happy couple. I also loved that the hosts could keep an
eye on the board to know when to start dinner and the festivities. When
all the names were gone, they knew everyone had arrived! Genius.
The dinner was on the top floor of the Zion's Bank Building, overlooking
the Salt Lake Temple where they would be married the next afternoon. I
don't remember enjoying myself more at a wedding dinner, and as you can
see, I wasn't the only one having a great time. The introductions and
speeches were both hilarious and heartfelt, the food was delicious, and
you can bet there wasn't a slice of that cake left. And that sunset!
It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening overall. Congrats you two!
