Hi, I have seen a few older posts that mentioned Brides wanting to help decorate other's reception sites in exchange for help decorating their own.
Is there anyone who is interested in doing this still? My wedding is planned for April 2007, and I would be more than happy to help coordinate/decorate the day of for someone else's wedding in exchange for them helping us on our day.
We are DIYers, and have a hall rental on it's own, so the catering, decorating, etc. needs to be coordinated. We haven't selected a caterer yet, but we are planning to get one that looks after all aspects of the food (dishes, linens, etc.). Where we will run into trouble is finding the time to decorate the reception all the day of, since we don't get the hall until the afternoon (when we will be at the church getting married!) We have some friends that would probably help out, but we don't want anyone to miss the ceremony either. I will have purchased or rented all the decorations by then, and will have photos of the look I want, so it is really just the labor needed (unless you have a creative streak and want to help with the design aspect!)
Let me know if you are interested!
