An event like The Gniddew opens the door for a lot of unique ideas to float around. Some ideas are good and will be implemented in the event. But some ideas are too strange even for the Gniddew.
So here is a running list of all the ideas that have been rejected thus far:
- Dessert before dinner – since the Gniddew is wedding backwards, wouldn’t it be natural for dessert to come first? Ultimately though, the safety and nutrition of our guests is more important than anything else, so we will not have dessert before dinner.
- Reverse Registry – we would register our pots and pans, silverware, coffee maker, etc., and each guest would pick one item from the registry that we’d then send out to our guests as a party favor.
- Dad Dance-Off – instead of a Father-Daughter dance, the dads would each get 10 seconds to show off their best moves in a “dad dance-off”
- Flower Man – instead of a flower girl
- Vampire Guest – we’d spread a rumor that a vampire will be attending the Gniddew. Then hire someone to show up dressed as a Vampire, place them at a random table, and have them eat and drink and mingle as a regular guest.
- First Look – instead of the groom getting a “first look” at the bride minutes before the ceremony, the bride gets a “first look” in the mirror at herself minutes before the ceremony. She’ll be blindfolded all day while the groom does her hair and makeup. Then when it’s time for the “first look”, she takes the blindfold off and looks in the mirror for the first time to see how beautiful she is.
- Slip ‘N Slide Aisle – why walk down the aisle when you could slip ‘n slide down the aisle?
- Potluck – have our guests also be our caterers, and everyone brings a dish
- Pie Fight – instead of smearing cake on each other’s faces, we’d start a pie fight at the reception
This list will be updated as more ideas get rejected while we continue to plan.
