Better (two years) late, than never! While feeling the nostalgic around our our two year wedding anniversary, I started looking through our wedding photos and found photos from our welcome dinner, too. I insisted on having our welcome dinner professionally photographed, and although I haven’t used the photos (yet), I’m so glad I did! Reliving the memories of our wedding weekend was so fun! I only wish I knew what we were laughing about in these photos (scroll down!).
Since we had a destination wedding, we opted to invite all our guests to the welcome dinner. Not only was it a blast, it took the pressure off and allowed us to spend extra time visiting with our guests who traveled so far.
Another added and unexpected bonus – our guests got a chance to meet, mingle and make plans for the weekend! The wedding weekend can be so busy for the bride, groom and their families. So we were thrilled to learn that our friends co-mingled and made plans to explore wineries together!
Take a look at the kick-off of our wedding weekend! I might be biased, but you can really feel the love! Scroll all the way down to see my rehearsal dinner style tips!
