How many people can you fit in a 20x40 tent?
Michelle, on August 3, 2012 at 3:12 AM

I have a bit of a problem I believe. I have a 20x40 tent for my outdoor reception. All food and the cake and dance floor will be in a separate tent close by so the 20x40 is solely for dinner seating....

HELP - we can't decide on a first dance song!
tracee563, on July 20, 2016 at 4:41 PM

We just cannot decide. We thought we had it all figured out but then we decided the song was too fast and we wanted something a little more intimate. What is everyone dancing too??
