Our Reception

We haven't finalized where we're going to have the reception.  If we can swing the extra expense, we'll do it at Lani, but that involves an extra deposit, all the rentals, caterer, ect.  Option B is to do it at a restaurant.  We're looking at Roy's and Alan Wong's, as well as others.  A lot of it will hinge on how many people are going to make it out there.  It's on a Thursday, we will be able to do it at Lani last minute if we end up having a big turnout.
I'm thinking of doing a combo of these for centerpieces.   A grouping of vases with different flowers in them combined with candles and scattered flower heads, either plumeria or orchids, probably both.

I'm liking the paper lanterns too.  Not sure where we'd put them, I'll figure that out later.

If we do the reception at Lani, I like the idea of doing it either open air or with some big market umbrellas over the tables.  They can be uplit to provide good lighting.  Shade without the expense of doing a full tent.

Adding hanging votive holders underneath the umbrellas would be fun.

Guest Book

I'm thinking of using a photobook for a guest book.  This one is from Jenni Bick.  It has precut windows for photos and plenty of room to write something fun.  I think I'll try to find a somewhat cheap compact photo printer and have our DOC or a friend circulate with a camera taking pics of people and having them write something.
