Evening Reception Idea!! - What do you think?

Love it!

Aw that is a lovely idea! Really thoughtful, and I reckon your guests will love that! Can't think of anything else though, sounds like you've got it all covered ?

How about some cheap throws from Ikea to wrap up in about £1 each.

Really fantastic idea, don't think you've missed anything! x

I had thought about some wraps for people, but we'll be handing out sparklers, and i didn't know if most people would just put their jackets on to go out anyway. But i might look into the ones in IKEA.

Thanks!

What a lovely thoughtful idea!

Thanks Ladies. Now all i have to do is find Bulk Quantities of hand warmers...prefereably heart shaped or Snowflake shaped!

Loads of heart shaped ones on eBay or pound shops are good for things like that.

HTH!

Loving it. Its the perfect scenario...watch fireworks...get a little cold...come into the warm to something to eat and a hot drink.....perfect. Love the hand warmer idea.... and i'm sure your guests will feel very welll looked after.

Its a fab idea! Only thing I would say is I doubt the kids would wear the ear plugs.

I think you might be right littlemissbride! I wondered if ear muffs would be a good alternative? There will only be 4 kids that might need them.

Thanks for the links ladies!

I think they would be great and very thooughtful!

Is your pic of where you are getting married? if so it looks amazing!

Lovely idea! I know if I was a guest at your wedding i'd really love it! esp the hot chocolate after!

It is. And the first thing i asked them was - do you allow fireworks! and they were like "yes to fireworks, but no to flying laterns"

Brilliant idea, love it! I think ear muffs would be a fantastic option for the little ones too ?

I want fireworks at my evening do too but not sure we can afford them, have you had quotes yet?

I've spoken to one company (21cc fireworks) who have been really fantastic in their correspondance. They even told us of a wedding they were doing that we went along to to see what sort of display we would get for £800 which was amazing. Their packages start at £400 but it depends on what your looking for.

We put aside £1000 for them, although i think we'll probably only have an £800 display like the one we saw.

If you google the company, you'll get much more information.

Lovely idea!!! If you are going to make a big thing of it you could have a little hot chocolate 'station' with marshmallows, chocolate shavings, cream etc.
