What to do for a couple that just ran off to Las Vegas to get married?

Question

This couple has known each other for some time; they have always been good friends. Just got a call that they flew to Las Vegas and are getting married this evening. Everyone they know, including the bride's mother, are saying it's about time. They have all the material and monetary needs covered, so friends and family want to throw a nice reception for them (probably in August so the ones that have to travel can make arrangements).

The bride is a musician, but also works as a programmer. The groom is a science and technical type. I need some ideas for a reception that would sort of tie this all together with a rock & roll theme, maybe even metal or even a biker theme. I need some ideas for music and for decorations. Pretty much 'anythings goes'.

Answer 1

Oh.......

my...............

God..................!!!

Wow, I am floored.

Well, I think she likes Deep Purple and AC/DC, but I am not sure what else she likes.  Squirrels for sure, space squirrels to be more precise from her band and also from his profile.  Squirrels playing music?  LOL  Squirrels on motorcycles?  Dang, I got to give this some thought now.

Answer 2

Whoa, good news.  No idea now, will have to get back to you

Answer 3

Maybe you could do a Vegas Themed Wedding. Let the colors be Black, White and Red (which is also very rock-n-roll). Have vegas themed invites like these  http://www.invitationsbydawn.com/We_View... Hold the reception somewhere with a stage and ask some of your friends musician friends to perform. Decorate with the suits from playing cards (Spades, clubs, diamonds, hearts) and poker chips.

It might also be cool to set up a poker table and or a black jack table for the guests. Have Fun!!!

Answer 4

I am so anti-theme, LOL.

Why can't the theme just be "Your family and friends are happy for you"????

All you need is yummy food, good music, fun friends . . . and everyone will have a great time!  You don't need a theme.

Or if you absolutely must have a theme?  Make it "Vegas."

Colors?  Red, white, and black.  Use dice and cards to decorate.
