Food for thought from Tara over at the Mauch Chunk Ballroom blog. (By the way GREAT venue in beautiful downtown Jim Thorpe)
We definitely saw a trend this summer for more informal weddings. It’s something we think is neat idea for the right couple. After all, less time sitting for a formal dinner and more time for dancing is never a bad thing! (For the right couple..)

Bottom line as we always tell our clients is any idea can work but you must know your guests and take them into account!!
