Because we’re having a destination wedding of sorts, we were thinking that after our rehearsal dinner it might be nice to have an informal ice cream social at the hotel. My cousin did a similar thing two years ago when he got married outside of Lake Tahoe. At first I didn’t think to suggest this idea for fear of the cost and coordination of another wedding event. Though, after talking with my family, I think we’ll be able to keep it all under control. It doesn’t need to be fancy–after all, we just wanted a chance for our guests to socialize before the big day.

We were thinking we could have a glorified ice cream social around the pool at the bed & breakfast where the wedding party is staying.It will be a casual, outdoor event (gotta love Palm Springs in the winter!) outside the lovely main courtyard of our favorite b&b.

Below are some pictures that have served as inspiration–though I don’t think it will be as fancy as all that. (taken from photographer Ryan Phillips’ blog of a recent wedding he shot that had an ice cream sundae bar)

My next purchase, perhaps, will be jars like this from IKEA for the toppings! (each priced at $2.99)
