Wedding Ideas - ANYTHING

[memphusk]

I have said this before, but it's the best thing to do. Have a naked photo shoot on a pyramid with 3 friends and 1 stranger at a winery. That makes a wedding.

I have to ask. What is a duck facer?

Just a few neat things I have seen at the weddings I've been to:
- Laptop so people can transfer their pictures to you
- Beaver tail late night station
- If Asian, hire a lucky dancing dragon

Get the chicken and waffles truck!

Dan Mangan tracks, food trucks. I almost swear my theoretical wedding happened already. And it was yours!

1. You need an acid free matte.

3. You need to frame it behind special glass that's going to be very expensive.

If you don't do all 3 it's going to fade badly over time. It's a cool option for sure but so problematic.

Very non-problematic. Acid free matte is a no brainer, and a good artist's pen is available at any proper art supplies store. I guess it helps that my wife is an artist. You get it framed properly (i.e. not in a Wal-mart frame or at Michaels), and keep it out of direct sunlight (a rule for any original artwork). The cost to do it right is not extravagant by any stretch..

Here is a crappy phone picture of ours after 13+ years. It hangs in our main hallway. Nothing is faded, the pen colour is silver.

My wedding idea would be to don't do it. Seriously though get a live band if you can afford it as the typical DJ is so generic. A good wedding comedian is nice as well as he will take information about your friends and family and destroy them in front of everyone. As said if there are to be lots of kids you need to have something to keep their attention.

- Endangered Species meat table
- Strip Boggle
- Reverse Dog Show, where the people are paraded around a circle by dogs
- Name that VD
- Automatic rifle draws
- Fight Club!
- Chloroform booths
- Robots

P.S. I haven't read a single posting. I'm totally just going by the OP title.

We had a destination wedding and the reception was on the beach. We dug a heart shaped target in the sand and guests had to throw a coconut successfully into the hole. But if you missed, you had to do a shot of tequila!

Also be sure to have the matte oriented properly if you don't have a picture in it yet (which you most likely won't). Ours was passed around rather than sitting on a table. It started being signed with a portrait orientation, then half way through it became landscape oriented. Looks a little silly, but it's still special.

My idea works best for outdoor weddings with LOTS of open space:
1. Hire HAWCS for an hour.
2. Stage the ceremony so instead of the bride being walked down the aisle, everyone is standing around wondering where the hell she is.
3. All of a sudden, a mother$#%ing helicopter shows up, and the bride jumps out, wearing full tactical gear and has to shed it as she runs towards the ceremony.
4. Enjoy everyone's confused facial expressions.
