Cake Cutting

Gradmas 90`s Birthday - Small cake for her

Details for the reception

WE spoke to the DJ, he recommended after dinner to announce that we’d like to do group shots of the bride and groom’s side of the family on the steps. So two groups will be called up. Bride will be one shot with everyone. Groom’s family will be broken down into groups (mom’s side of the family, dad’s side, etc.) 

Groom’s mother wants shots during the reception that do not need to be taken on the steps. They include about 5 tables worth of people that she wants us to pose with us and them.
