We had cornhole, beer pong and barbecue and everyone had a great time.Fab4Runner;1744033 wrote:Btw, it is not uncommon to have lawn games at an outdoor wedding. Not sure what seems NASCAR about it, tbh. I know this pic is huge, but I fail to see an issue with these games.

We had rain insurance that would have made us forget that it rained and it was only like $300. Totally worth it in my humble opinion as I didn't fret at all about the forecast.MontyBrunswick;1744019 wrote:Is your wedding NASCAR themed?
What will you do if it rains?

I don't know you, but can I attend your wedding if you have these games? Haha! Seriously, I wish we had an outdoor reception because we would have totally had games for the guests to play. Who doesn't love good food, booze, and games?Fab4Runner;1744033 wrote:Btw, it is not uncommon to have lawn games at an outdoor wedding. Not sure what seems NASCAR about it, tbh.

Best thing you've said this entire thread...Weddings are basically parties. What's "appropriate" is solely based on what the couple getting married wants. Fab has 180 guests that need a distraction between the ceremony and the reception. What better way than free booze and games?MontyBrunswick;1744052 wrote:It just doesn't feel appropriate for a wedding, but it is *your* wedding.
To each his own...
Also, we had a photobooth and everybody loved it. You get enough liquor in people, and they'll lighten up. Plus, the photobooth company gave us an album of all of the guests' photos. Great way to remember who came to celebrate with us.

I don't want to jinx it, but I feel like it's going to be pretty legit. Even if it rains and we move it indoors, I think it will turn out well. The indoor space is huge, so there would be plenty of room for some of the games either way.raiderbuck;1744104 wrote:I don't know you, but can I attend your wedding if you have these games? Haha!

I think we are going to do a homemade photobooth. Just a cute background and props, and people can take pics themselves.

The problem I have is with the yard games. I can't picture grandma and grandpa participating in something like that. A photo booth is attractive for all ages.

Not every person at every wedding has to participate in every activity. I know plenty of people who do not drink, or who do not dance. These things are there for the people who want to enjoy them. Just because my 90 year old grandma might not play cornhole doesn't mean it's inappropriate.MontyBrunswick;1744120 wrote:I said the photo booth was a good idea, smart-guy.

Well, it sounds like your wedding is going to be terrible. Make sure you plan it for a football Saturday so you annoy the maximum amount of people.Fab4Runner;1744125 wrote:These things are there for the people who want to enjoy them.

Don't forget the spit-bowls for those guests who will want to chew tobacco while they play lawn darts.

in your logic, they'd be more upset if she planned it on a race day.MontyBrunswick;1744139 wrote:Well, it sounds like your wedding is going to be terrible. Make sure you plan it for a football Saturday so you annoy the maximum amount of people.

All I care about on this thread is now trying to figure out which former poster we all hated is Monty. Maybe Said?

That sounds like irrational anger to me. Maybe you need counseling.SportsAndLady;1743921 wrote:It's you who is "mad" that other people have more money to spend on things than you. And your anger is making you sound pathetic.
