Just like a Frat Party

Did you ever go to a fraternity party where the theme was something like Golf Pros and Tennis Gals* (*that not quite appropriate word for women)? CEOs and secretaries? Romans and Goddesses?

Sometimes, I feel like a wedding is just a big theme party. In all of my online puttering about, I’ve seen some fabulous and some not so fabulous themes.

Some themes are all out:

I was thinking of one in particular where the theme was Victorian magicians - there were parlour tricks, and everything was beautifully dark and twisty and elegant - all at the same time! I thought I had seen it on Once Wed or Snippet & Ink, but now I can't find it. Anyone remember this one and can refresh our memories?

Some themes are gorgeously subtle:

Deciding on my theme was difficult. Before we were engaged, I was telling my Lamb Lovie that it would be so fun to have a football theme wedding, with my beloved Redskins and his beloved Giants taking each other head on in a story that ends in romance. I pictured it all!

We could even have the reception during a big game!

My Lamb Man thought this was the cheesiest idea I’ve ever had.

In the end, I’m happy with the subtle Victorian verging on Deco vintage theme that I chose. But if anyone has a football theme wedding, will you invite me? Especially now that football season is upon us again, I find myself fantasizing about each bridesmaid wearing a dress in their favorite team's colors and having stadium food served at the reception!

Have you ever been to an extreme themed wedding? Was it as fun as I'm imagining it in my head?
