Reception Slideshow??

Morning All!! YES WE CAN!!!

Is anyone doing a slideshow at the reception venue for the guest to have something to hold their attention while the bridal party is out and about town doing pictures?

I have decided to use childhood pictures and current pic of us - I love the idea of showing where we came from to where we are now as people and how family has always been there for us. In addition, a few laughs at fashion and hair trends in early '80s and '90s.
I also will be pairing up the slideshow with music to keep it entertaining.

Anyone else doing this? If so, please share your story, ideas.

Since we're having a cocktail hour, I'm pretty sure the food will hold the guests attention until we get there (or at least I hope it will).
However, we do plan to do a slide show sometime during the reception. Do you have any idea when's a good time to do this?

P.S. Ladybugg is "Baracking"...lol

I am actually doing the slideshow while guests are being seated during the ceremony. Everything was free of charge at the church and I would have to rent everything for the reception.
We are hoping that the cocktail hour keeps everyone entertained while we are taking pictures.

we sure are!

we will be playing the slideshow just before our toast @ the reception. I will also be playing a small slideshow in remembrance of our loved ones. my father,brother & his uncle & best friend. It should be a tear jerker.
hope it doesn't ruin my make-up. lol
-maybe we should do it after the toast. yah-ima go w / that. thanks 4 the help! haha

Thinking about presenting slideshow before bridal party enters the reception venue or while we're cutting the cake.
From my experiences as a guest at weddings, only the family and bridal party "really" pay attention to the cake cutting.

Who knows when to do this thing.

But I do like the idea of doing before the ceremony as guest are coming in. "Things that make you say, umm"

I wanted to do this so badl, but the venue is on the marina and it is so bright in there.  Windows all around a perfect circle and the venue don't have the screen, nor projector.  I wanted to do this badly, but with our budget, we decided to make books with our pictures in it instead and the guests can take them home to enjoy.  Yes, hubby 2 B had a jerry curl in the 80's...LOL and I was a skinny ballerina! Double LOL!
