While touching, Less' reliance on antiquated snail-mail for messages of this importance is but one of the reasons that his destiny is to be overrun by starving and overpopulated hordes.

Those of us who understand the importance of such an invitation have already send B'n'B a touching message by PM, email, and Facebook. Moreover, I have engaged Flinty to pilot on my behalf one of those magnificent skywriting flying machines over relevant parts of Florida.

Right now we've discussed maybe, instead of doing centerpieces on the tables, we would have larger (capable of serving 8-10 people--I think the one in the photo only serves 6), more intricate cakes in this style, with a white "pot" and appropriate flower colors:

I think it's kind of a cool idea. The one at our table would be bigger for the cake cutting and when it came time to eat wedding cake, the servers could just bring out cake cutters and people could serve themselves however much they wanted. I think it would work because the venue has different spaces for each of the dinner, dancing and the ceremony, so even though dinner will be outside in most-likely warm weather, the cakes (as centerpieces) only need to be on the tables during dinner.

What do you think? I'll be over here in my princess bed watching Grey's reruns while you think about it.

I definitely like the idea of an edible centerpiece that looks flowery. Except I don't think I'd want a cake that imitates a terracotta pot -- too much brownish color and also, this pic only has a few low growing flowers (artificial impatiens). I'd go for a cake that imitates a glazed pot in a cool color (or white on white elegant basketweave) and then have edible flowers that are a bit taller (or have a real container, like an upscale ceramic/china that someone at the table could take home and use for plants. Like a china blue pattern). Even better, I think a centerpiece of cupcakes could be made to give a "flower" feeling. Because the cupcakes are stacked (like the bride, I'm sure). Also, a cupcake stack will be a good ice breaker at the table as people (inexplicably) get positively giddy over cupcakes. When you and the bride cut the cake, folks will grab their little cupcakes and will be all into it. I am on a permanent, never ending wedding circuit these days and nobody wants to eat the boring sheet cake cut by the bride/groom. In fact, some people even think the cake they're eating isn't even cut by them but instead, the kitchen has a bunch of slices they start handing out on cue after the cutting. Cupcakes -- *sniff*. Fringey where are you?

Yeah, I really like the idea, but I think that some might be disappointed, as chevy notes. However, I think I might be inclined to say fuck 'em. It's something quite creative and not gimmicky, so if you and your "good bride" like the idea, do it.

We had no cake. Dessert was a enormous assortment of homemade Italian cookies, cannoli, single serving cakes, etc. You could eat/take whatever you wanted. The dessert table had its own room. There were probably enough desserts for 400 people. I don't know if it was gimmicky, but if it was, don't tell the Italian lady who made it all. She. Will. Be. Pissed.

So long as I get fed and have a cocktail or two, I'm delighted to celebrate whatever the occasion is.

Agreed. I'll add that a good dance floor can make a huge difference, too. Everyone likes to see Coltrane getting jiggy with it.

Jon is pretty funny, though. That poor guy.

My boyfriend and I have an agreement that should we ever discover that I'm pregnant with more than three kids at once, we immediately contact Bravo, TLC and any other potential Johns and whore ourselves shamelessly.
