6 wedding ideas I stole from Offbeat Bride
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but we have a special tag called Steal This Idea! Which means, clearly, we love offering up great wedding ideas for you to take, run with, and make your own. But, apart from noticing them in real wedding profiles, we never really get to know how many of you actually DO steal those ideas.
That’s why it was so awesome to read this “thank you” note from Australian Tribesmaid Jass…
15 wedding reception games and activities for good times!
“We hosted a game night reception so it could be more interactive for everyone. We bought most of the prizes on sale, nearing $200, but still saved a lot by not hiring a DJ or band, which comes with an added cost of a dance floor and lights.”
