Reception Hall Blues

Ok, so the ongoing attempt to find a location for our wedding isn't going as smoothly as we thought it would a few weeks ago. After confirming our date (July 14, 2007 - evening) we called up the chosen hall and had it put on hold. They mailed us the contract and we were excited, until we noticed the "minimum number of guests" we hadn't previously been made aware of. Since this minimum number is far greater than the number of people we're inviting and we don't feel like paying for people who aren't there, our favorite hall suddenly fell off the list of possibilities. We then looked around a lot more and found a new favorite place. Turns out they're already booked for our date, so it's now back to the drawing board. On a more positive note, we found some teapots to start off our centerpiece theme, so let me know what you think of them.
