Please Help - Wedding Questions!

Hi All,

I have Wedding date for: 6/7/08 in Alexandria, VA.

I am having a civil wedding but would like ideas to make it different. I was thinking of getting married in a local park and have family and friends attend or just my intermediate family. Looking for unique, different ideas. Please help.

My reception:
I have reserved a clubhouse for my wedding reception. The clubhouse can accomodate 125 people. My guest list is for 150. Approximately 30 of the 150 guests are children. I am sure all these children will not be in attendance but I had to invite them because I have 4 teenagers of my own and they will be there. Alot of my family consist of children.

Is it true that approximately 60% of your guest will attend the wedding? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just trying to think if my reception location will accomodate my guests.
