Ok here's my deal... I'm new here, but I won't bore you with all the details of what I'm planning. Let's just say it's going to be very casual & yet (hopefully) still a blast. And for most things I've started planning there's tons of options and it just a matter of picking which we want to do. But this is one situation I can't find any recommendations for, so I'm turning to you:
My FH & I have gone to a couple of weddings since we've been engaged and both agree that we do not want to be interrupted from our meal to stand up and do "kissy face" in front of everybody. No glass clinking, no bells, we just don't want to do it. We're not big PDA kind of people... Though I am certain his family will attempt to try. So have any of you heard of or been to a reception with the same idea? Short of using only plastic silverware & cups, is there a cute way that I could put little plaques on the tables saying "We're not kissing for you, so don't bother"... except more politely? :winktongue: Or have a drastic consequence for doing so that would be humorous yet feasible?
When my cousin got married, before dinner she announced that when the glasses started clinking, if they didn't feel like kissing, they'd randomly pull out the RSVP cards, and the couple pulled would have to stand up and kiss instead. There was an audible groan, but it didn't stop the crowd from banging on their glasses, and the bride/groom still had to stop eating to pull it out & such.... And a friends wedding we went to, in order to get the bride & groom to kiss, you had to stand up, get the couple's attention, and kiss your partner first, and then they would do it themselves.... again, all were determined to get the newlyweds to stand up & show their stuff.
Hhhmmm... my creativity fizzles on this one.
