The Recaps: Let’s Vote On It

August 28th, 2009 @ 1:20 pm by Mrs. Joey

So, we’re starting to get pictures back from the wedding, and I can’t decide what order to post recaps in. There are the bridal events before the wedding, like the shower and bachelorette. There’s all the prep work we did the week before, the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony, the reception, and the after party. Of course, there’s also the honeymoon. In addition, I have a budget breakdown post, one about what I’d do differently, and one that discusses the hardships of the wedding week. I thought about being different and starting with the most recent events first, but I can’t decide.

What do you think?

What a great idea! I’ve been paralized by indecision over this very thing…Look forward to your recaps however they’re formatted!

I think any order is fine, just show us some pics!! I think your wedding is one of the ones I’ve been most excited for, the suspense is painful :)

I saw normal order, but maybe start with a nice teaser post of wedding pics to satiate us all. :)

That’s so cool to ask the Hive, since of course all our posts are to help them in their planning. Very smart idea Joey

Mrs. Joey, you’ve marched to your own beat this whole time…why do it in the normal order???

I’d go with whatever version makes your point best. It seems like talking about hardships might do well first, and should perhaps go with what you’d do differently (either that before or after), unless what you’d do differently needs the wedding for context.

Whatever you do, I’m sure we’ll be glad to hear it!

How nice of you to ask, Mrs. Joey! I agree with @melodicsighs1 about the teaser post of photos, to satisfy those of us who just can’t wait! And I think the budget breakdown and “what I’d do differently” are cool posts to save for the end, once we’ve been able to relive your wedding with you. But honestly, do what feels most natural to you!

I voted to start with the budget breakdown, but I’m excited for your recaps no matter how you present them!

I voted normal order … I think seeing the budget breakdown AFTER the actual wedding pics/recaps makes the most sense - reading that you spent X amount on something won’t really help unless I know what it looks like. Same thing with the “what I would do differently” - doesn’t make much sense unless you know what was done in the first place

I said start with the most recent only because I’m excited to see you wedding. I think any order you choose will be just fine!
