Since FI and I live in the Art Museum area...we wanted to use the rocky theme song somewhere, esp since we get woken up at 7am on marthon weekends with that song.....

If we where not going to do a DW... I would try to do something with the movie "Trading Spaces"... b/c both FI and I can watch it over and over

My bm had the bartenders wear phillies hats during cocktail hour. Her reception was at the Constitution center during the play offs.We are putting tasty cakes in our welcome bags at the hotel.

I love the Phillies hats for the bartenders.

yeah, if they have a repeat of last year i may be stealing the idea

At the end of the night at my reception included in my "Elite" package, the venue will be giving out cheesesteaks, compliments of the bride and groom.  I love this because a lot of my guest are from out of state and have never had a philly cheesesteak.

@ChancesAre-- that's a total Philly thing. The OOT guests will love that.

I have heard of people wanting to give out tasty cakes and soft pretzels at the end of the reception. That way everyone would have a snack for the way home, and soft pretzels are so good when you're drinking and want a snack :)

yum soft pretzels.... 

I was thinking of getting a private handmade soap workshop thing at duross & langel, they are local business owners in the gayborhood, and using that as favors. It think it would be fun for something FI and I to make for our guests... 

I would love to also have little mini la columbe coffee bags for the guests too, FI and I are a little obsessed with their coffee. 

LOL @ Shan's "Gayborhood"

those are great ideas tho!

Meg... its totally the offical name!! I don't think Woody's would have it any other way!!

Yup. gayborhood is an official name :) some of my students partnered with duross & langel for a class project. i think that's a good personalized favor idea. we will have something philly for our favor (philly's souvenir with LOVE sign) since most of our guests will come from abroad. and i'm thinking of having a "LOVE" cake too (undecided).
