R and I sat down this morning and had a chat about how the logistics of the big day will pan out. I've kind of hit a brick wall in terms of planning, because things either don't need to be done now, I'm waiting to hear from someone, or I couldn't figure something out, so I just gave up.
My main issue with the logistics was trying to figure out how to have the tea party part while not having to reset the entire room for dinner later on. After discussing, we decided that the only logical way to get through this is to have double the tables, get some cute flowery/printed (ie, not the plain white of the rental places) table cloths, and convince a cousin, uncle or two (or three, or four!) to pack up the chairs from the ceremony to closer to the lodge. It makes way more sense - decorating will be easy - we'll just use the same flowers from inside, and then the china teacups will be a decoration of sorts too. I think it'll work way better than my original plan (inside tea party).. the only thing now is to figure out how many tables we can beg/borrow/steal, and if we need to rent extras.
A major benefit to this is that the tea party will sort of serve as the 'receiving line' and we (and guests) will have a way better time mingling around and chatting with people. The lodge inside doesn't really allow for that all that much, so this is way better.
So.. if anyone has any collapsible tables (in any size) let me know!
