I'm going to be blunt with this tacky gift question...

A couple came to our wedding and gave us $300.

We're going to their son's First Communion party on Sunday. What's an appropriate cash amount to give him as a gift?

Holiday Parisian. Good stuff! (at that time, the Tiffany Crystal room hadn't been remodeled, otherwise I would have wanted that one)

The Continental room is too small. We had that as our cocktail hour room, but we never would have been able to fit all of our guests in there for dinner.

You made good choices!!!

I had always thought that Leonard's was too glitzy. but, on the day of my wedding, I was SO happy with all of the glitz. It really made me feel like it was my *wedding reception*.

I love the new tiffany room. I'm so jealous!

125 actually attended. But, I always wanted to do tables of 8. so, with the vendor's table, I had 16 tables. I thought we had the perfect amount of space in the Holiday Parisian

old school. Wooden everywhere. it was nice, but when I saw it, I just thought 'too old school 1980s'

edited to add: not mahogany wood- old school wood

the new one is like an italian country side and has a fire place at each end of the room
