OBB Needs Advice for her OBG

Okay guys..here is goes...HE is a Semi-pro football player who loves stuff like Hockey, Martial Arts UFC...etc. etc. We are extreme opposites as well.....one thing we do agree on? Nothing "Bridal" for our big day (except the dress and the rings..he insists on traditional for that) In fact we are even doing a "couple's prank" on our guests for the reception because we are goofy like that....my question is I want to incorporate his football without making it seem over the top...I know the groom cake is the standard and I am even thinking about having the reception at a local tavern that looked awesome. Any other ideas?

I want him to be part of this because it is OUR day......and let him know I am thinking of him...

Maybe, and I know this might sound cheesy, they could do some kind of football huddle with you and your fiancee inside and that's how you emerge to greet your guests. Again, kind of cheesy, but it could be fun. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know!; ▶ Reply to This

Buy football jerseys with your new last names on it. Perhaps one could have the number of the month, one could have the day.
Make each table themed by a different team.
Have a football helmet chip bowl at the table.
Take some engagement photos of you guys playing football in the backyard.
I'll think of some more, I'm sure.; ▶ Reply to This

Ok, this is version 2.0.. well ok I have made several, haha, but this is the second one you get to see. I did a lot more thinking, talked about colors with my love and we settled on 3. Deep purples, mocha brown, and a rich yellow. This mixes some ...

You could consider specially made wrist bands. Rather than a small wring on the finger, a band made from say, metal or leather or both. Designed in ways unique and special to the two of you. You could even, if you were both very DIY, delve into me...

Shawn Reming Jr replied to Martin's discussion 'DIY, in which potentials are realized and limits defined'

Just a thought, that could potentially save lots of money, and rather easy. Given the techno age we are in (hooray!) many people, many of your friends and family probably own digital camera's, and will probably bring them to the wedding. An idea ...
