WEDDING DATE:

We have put together this short questionnaire to help you prepare for your wedding reception. Please try to answer all of the questions in this easy to use form and submit it to us with the click of a button. Once received, we will review your responses to help personalize your wedding day. The suggestions offered below are merely suggestions and you may stray from them as much as desired. You can also quickly make changes, if any, as they arise by resubmitting this form to us. 

1. RECEIVING LINE AT THE VENUE? (if the ceremony is at the same location) Yes No

2. ANNOUNCEMENT OF ANY SPECIAL GUESTS? Yes No

(Grandparents, etc.) Who ?

3. TOAST? Yes No

By : Best Man Maid / Matron of Honor
Other

4. BLESSING? Yes No

Choose One: Clergyman Family Member Friend of the Family

Will the Clergyman be at the reception? Yes No

What is the name of the person who will be giving the Blessing ?

5. GIVING AWAY THE CENTERPIECES: Yes No

(This should be done during the meal, sooner rather than later.)

6. CUTTING OF THE CAKE: Yes No

Is the cake being served as dessert? Yes No

How would you like the cake cutting ceremony to proceed ?

1. Traditional cutting of the cake with song & feeding of the Bride & Groom Yes No
2. Non-Traditional music for the cutting of the cake Yes No
3. Low key with little attention Yes No
4. The photographer will coordinate the activity for photographs only Yes No

The cutting of the cake is a ceremony which is intended to symbolize caring for and sharing with one another. We recommend that forks be used as they make the image more attractive for the photographer and videographer. Forks also minimize the possibility of someone being hurt during the more playful "squashing" that sometimes happens.

7. BRIDE AND GROOM'S DANCE: Yes No
Song:

8. BRIDE AND FATHER'S DANCE: Yes No
Song:

(Traditionally "Daddy's Little Girl" is used, but "Unforgettable", "Wind Beneath my Wings" or any other song that is special to you is certainly appropriate.)

If your father is not able to attend, it would be appropriate to have the person who gave you away at the ceremony take your father's place during the dance. If any brothers, grandfathers, uncles, or cousins are present, calling out different male family members to dance with the bride makes for an excellent scene.

9. GROOM AND MOTHER'S DANCE: Yes No
Song:

Any ballad or "slow song" such as "What a Wonderful World" or "Song for My Son" is appropriate. Try to pick a song that is special to the groom or his mother. (Ask your DJ if you would like some suggestions.)
