Thanks for all the suggestions...I LOVE the idea of a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society in lieu of little party favors (I wouldn't have known what to put out anyways).
I posted in another post but will definately look into community centers. You said the Lamplighter was nice...have you ever been to a ceremony there? Or just a reception (or neither)? The ceremony part just seems a bit weird because guests can see you from their rooms...I guess it's a bit unique though!
Did you have to decorate the community center yourself? And could you have the ceremony there?
