Now it's almost 5 months later, GBGM shares are trading at less than 7/10ths of a penny, and Odd Marketing, the publisher of Penny Stock Crew and Stock Publisher, is going to have a go at deepening the insiders' bank accounts with a new P & D campaign. We wouldn't be surprised if other newsletters followed these two in the coming days, as the schemers still have tons of stock to dump.
|GBGM's Chart June 11, 2012 to present - Not Pretty, Is It?
And the lies continue, although this time the company cops to a 61.2 million share float (according to its latest filings), a far cry from the 546.8 million shares we made a case for back in June. But at a minimum the change in number confirms the previous Pump & Dump campaign's intent, which was to dump insider stock. Remember? In June, everyone claimed the float to be 1.2 million shares. This means that at least 60 million insider shares were dumped onto the street over and since the June P & D. And as we have previously stated, there's plenty more where that came form.
Ah, but this time there's a new kicker. Since the old P & D, GBGM has entered into an agreement to sell more shares privately in order to raise up to $300,000 (sorely needed since in its last 10-Q filing the company claims to have 20 bucks in cash on hand). Unfortunately for old and soon-to-be-new bag holders alike, this new financing agreement is a form of a death spiral financing agreement, since the share sale price is not set. Rather, as the share price drops, the financier's purchase gets cheaper. To whit:
"The Purchaser hereby applies and agrees to purchase a certain number of shares ("Shares") to be determined of $.000001 par value common stock ("Common Stock") of the Company for an aggregate subscription price (the "Subscription Price") of $300,000 all in accordance with the terms set forth in this Subscription Agreement. The Shares shall be purchased in installments of not less than $10,000 ("Installments") of Purchaser's sole choosing at any time during a ninety (90) day period commencing on the date hereof and terminating on December 31, 2012 ("Conversion Period"). The price for the Shares, at each installment purchase and conversion, shall be equal to an amount of Shares calculated at a rate equal to 75% of the OTC market price of the Company's Common Stock based on a 10 day trailing average of the lowest bid for the Company Common Stock ("Conversion Rate") at the date of notice of purchase and conversion and the payment of the portion of the Subscription Price to Company."Now since the purchase agreement was signed and under the terms of the agreement, the purchaser was able to get stock at least as cheap as.$.004. But just for grins, let's assume an average price of a lofty $.007. If the purchaser was to spend the entire $300,000, another 42.9 million shares would be created! And there's your new Pump & Dump. Notice how this one starts just prior to the due date of the new financials (November 8-ish).
Has the company made any progress? Not hardly! Looking at the last two reported quarters (remember, that the P & D begins just before the new quarter is reported), cash on hand decreased from $363 to $20. Assets did increase by $100,000 but only in the form of new stock subscriptions, not from operations. And there's the matter of increased liabilities to $627,829. The good news is that revenues increased from zero to $343. Oooooo give me some of that!
In short, this is a suckers' bet, even if the stock pops for a brief moment. Just as last time, the profit takers will then have to compete with the insiders for the attention of the new suckers. We expect GBGM to be trading closer to the triple zeros by the end of the year.

Why we?re driving it
I raced an Abarth in the Bathurst 12-Hour earlier this year and had a road-going version for a couple of months so we could get used to the size and how it drives.
What is it?
One of the smallest hot hatches on the market ? and one loaded with personality. It starts life as Fiat?s retro-cute 500 hatch but with plenty of go-fast Abarth bits thrown in.
What isn't it?
A family car.
What does it say about me?
You don?t have kids. And you probably enjoy a good double-shot short skinny fuming mocha machiatto on a lazy weekend.
What doesn't it say about me?
That you?re into practical motoring. The back seats of the EsseEsse are fairly compact, as is the boot. That said, we did manage to load a mountain bike into it without removing the wheels ? by lowering it in through the roof. Who said convertibles couldn?t carry big things?
Who else is buying it?
Jay Leno has one, although that doesn?t really count because he?s got one of just about everything. Back to the real world and expect to see fashionable types or those who appreciate good design. While there?s decades of history in the Abarth name, its size and demeanour means the EsseEsse appeals more to the younger brigade.
What colours does it come in?
There are four colours and with each the Italian theme shines through: nero (black), bianco (white), grigio (grey) and rosso (red). You can also get two-tone finishes, choose stripes and make the mirrors stand out more with a contrasting hue.
If it was a celebrity, who would it be?
Danny DeVito. Small but butch and oozing in-your-face personality. Oh, and it?s been around a while.
Why would I buy it?
It looks the business and has a clever folding soft-top roof that can be rolled back electronically on the move. The roof is a ripper and can be opened a little bit (like a sunroof) or opened all the way back, like a full convertible.
Best bits?
The styling; it definitely stands out and looks like nothing else on the road. It translates to the interior, too, which has a body-coloured dashboard and plenty of retro glam. The cross-drilled brakes also work well and the alloy pedals (complete with the Abarth scorpion logo ... something that pops up plenty of times on the EsseEsse) are also a big win.
Worst bits?
The ?Competizione MTA automated manual gearbox?; there?s a push-button selector to get from Drive to Reverse and Neutral. Once you?ve pushed it and you?re on your way the shifts can be lurchy and ill-timed. Best to use the paddle shifts and take control.
Also, there?s nowhere to hide anything inside. Storage is tight generally and without a proper glovebox (there?s just a shelf) it?s a bit of a pain.
Two other minor quibbles: The flip key keeps opening in your pocket, and the orange-lit monochrome trip computer can?t be viewed with polarised sunglasses unless you tilt your head.
Will it let me down?
Italian cars don?t have the best reputation for reliability, but these days those stereotypes are largely unwarranted. There?s a three-year, 150,000km warranty with roadside assistance for extra peace of mind.
Does it cost too much?
It?s certainly not cheap, with a recommended retail price of $38,990 plus on-road and dealer costs. Considering there are Volkswagen Golf GTIs for only a couple of grand more it makes the justification for an EsseEsse harder.
Will I get a deal?
Yep, there are decent deals being done, with some 2013-plate cars selling for about $37,000 (and you could possibly haggle a fraction more off that). If you can live without the opening roof you should be able to save another few grand.
Will it get me noticed?
Definitely. Even though the current Fiat 500 went on sale back in 2008 the distinctive humpy shape is still a head turner. Throw in the good looking 17-inch alloy wheels, red brake calipers and some Abarth stripes and the little two-door is more than capable or drawing a stare or two. We even had a few people wanting to know more about the car.
Does it go?
It?s all about power to weight with the EsseEsse. The tiny 1.4-litre turbo makes a modest 118kW and a hearty enough 230Nm once you press the Sport button to activate the turbo?s overboost function. But it weighs less than 1.1 tonnes, so acceleration is perky enough ? able to punch to 100km/h in 7.4 seconds. Mid-range response is particularly strong and you can have some great fun with it.
There?s also a great sound from the burbling quad exhausts (our car had an optional system), especially when changing up a gear with your foot flat on the accelerator, where there?s a whip-like crack.
Does it like corners?
There?s plenty of grip from the 17-inch Michelin tyres and the go-kart-like direct steering means it points faithfully. But the high seating position isn?t exactly tailored for more enthusiastic cornering, neither is the beam-axle rear suspension.
What about bumps?
You?ll definitely feel them in the 500C. Suspension travel isn?t too long and the short wheelbase means it can bounce around over speed humps. But hey, it?s all in tune with the character of the car!
How's the stereo system?
Not bad. It?s an Interscope system (we hadn?t heard of it either...) that uses some tricky sound processing designed to make the six-speaker system sound better. There?s decent clarity from the tweeters on the dash and the bass is helped with the subwoofer under the driver?s seat. You even get blasts of air on your feet as it?s pumped out of the subwoofer. But ultimately the bass will distort if you crank it up too far.
What about service stations?
It?s not particularly thirsty (claimed use is 6.5 litres per 100km but think closer to 9L/100km in daily duties) but the tank only holds 35 litres, so you?ll be lucky to get much more than 400km between refills.
Like most European cars it calls for premium unleaded. And for those living in NSW be careful not to use the now-common E10 blend (10 per cent ethanol, 90 per cent petrol) because the Abarth won?t like it.
Would you buy one?
It was a fantastic addition to our family for a couple of months, but with two kids it?s not exactly practical. If I suddenly stumbled across a big bag of money I?d certainly consider it as a second car. And a decade or more ago it might have been higher on my list of fun-mobiles.
What else should I consider?
Few cars will deliver the combination of character and performance as the EsseEsse. If you?re more interested in the former, then the Mini is a decent option. For those chasing the latter you could do a lot worse than a Ford Fiesta ST.
The spin
?Every single inch of it has been crafted to excite in a way that only the Italians can.?
The translation
We still know how to make cars that look good.

Shore Acres Cottage está localizado entre Ellsworth e Bar Harbor, situado à beira do Parque Nacional Acadia intocada. A praia e área de piquenique é uma agradável caminhada de três minutos da casa de campo ao longo de uma estrada rural arborizada. O parque estadual, com doca para barcos e área de lançamento, é apenas um quilômetro ao norte da casa.
A casa está totalmente isolado e tem um monitor de forno e um aquecedor elétrico de água quente para o seu conforto durante todo o ano. A casa é fornecido com roupa de cama, cobertores e cadeiras de praia. Há dois quartos, um com cama de casal; o outro tem beliches twin-size. Aqui é onde as memórias de sua FÉRIAS vai durar uma vida! Não deixe de pedir para um passeio em um dos nossos Modelo T Fords. E por último mas não menos importante, de Blunt Pond, um reservatório de água doce aposentado, é atualmente uma cidade de praia de água doce apenas dois quilômetros de distância, veja a imagem, onde um refrescante banho, piquenique, ou simplesmente relaxar, pode ser apreciado.

We had a great Labor Day escape and spent a most enjoyable week at this lovely, clean and well equipped cottage. It is close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park which we love to visit. We will definitely be back.
The location, property, and cottage were better than expected. We were looking for a private rental, as opposed to a row of rental properties.The owners were very nice and accessible, and made us feel at home. We also chose the cottage for the location, as it was central to where we wanted to spend our time. The beach was a 2 minute walk and the state park was less than 2 miles. We were able to enjoy both of them after returning from a day of activities. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are close enough to enable us to spend several days exploring, hiking, and kayaking. We also took a day trip to Portland, and a short trip to Bangor for sight seeing. The cottage was the perfect size for me and my 2 teenagers. It was neat, clean, and well maintained. I would rent this cottage again, especially from the same owners, and would recommend the same to friends and relatives. We had a wonderful trip....I hope to be able to return sometime soon!
I took my 3 grandchildren ages 4, 6, & 12 with me to stay at this cottage. We had a wonderful time. I found that everything they said in the write up to be true. It was fully stocked and very welcoming. I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay but close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The kids had a wonderful time at the beach that is in walking distance and playing in the yard. Again we could not have picked a better place to stay. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!
We absolutely love visiting this cozy cottage. The property is beautifully maintained inside and out. The area is perfectly located on a peaceful street just a short walk away from Lamoine Beach. We sit outside everyday and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. We also took walks daily to the nearby state park. We always went for evening strolls on the beach taking time to collect rocks and take in the amazing view! The beach is pristine and we often had it to ourselves. The cottage is clean, well maintained and quaint. The owners are delightful people and we look forward to seeing them each year. We went to Acadia National Park almost everyday of our week-long stay. We hiked, went on the auto road, ate Pop-Overs at Jordan's Pond, mountain biked the carriage roads, visited Cadillac Mountain, visited sandy beach , and Thunder Hole. There are visitors stations that have lots of information on what to do during your stay. We also love Bar Harbor! We have taken excursions to islands(like Baker's Island), kayaked in the sea, shopped in amazing shops, eaten at delicious restaurants, ice cream shops and bakeries. We have also visited local antique dealers, done wine tasting, and visited a brewery. The owners gave us lots of suggestions for fun and have more suggestions for adventures each year. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend or relative. I can't wait to go back!
This place is great nice quiet area close to beach can walk there it is very clean and the owners are very very nice people I've been coming back for years just love it
Minutes walk to a swimmable beach. Halfway between the two Acadia National park locations. Friendly and informative hosts.
Há um 'General Store' a apenas alguns quilômetros de distância. Ellsworth é cerca de 10 quilômetros da casa de campo. Há supermercados, shoppings, bancos, uma variedade de restaurantes conhecidos nacionalmente, bem como excelentes restaurantes locais e lojas especializadas locais. Bar Harbor fica a cerca de 20 milhas e Bangor cerca de 37 milhas.
Desfrute de um passeio em um vintage 1926 Ford Modelo T TOURING CAR durante sua estadia, apenas para pedir.

Presented by the Herald-Zeitung Page 6A — Herald-Zeitung — Tuesday, December 27, 2005 DAVID INGRAM/Herald-Zeitung Shoppers search the Christmas decorations area at Target while looking for clearance bargains Monday.SHOPPING CONTINUED FROM Page 1 After-Christmas sales attract many shoppers More and more, Kveton said, retailers were seeing the week after Christmas become a profitable one — particularly with a growing trend toward use of gift cards to take advantage of post-holiday values. Target sales associates began work at 2 a.m. Monday, Kveton said, making sure the store was ready. "We have all of our seasonal merchandise marked down and we're excited," he said. "We have a lot of Christmas clearance items marked way down for our guests." Monday, Kveton said, was as busy for his store as was Christmas Eve. "We'll stay busy through this week, and then it will start to slow down some," he said. "And now, we're at the point where we're starting to put our spring stuff out." It was no less busy across Interstate 35 at the New Braunfels Wal-Mart. Manager John Luensmann said he didn't know how many shoppers were using gift cards. "I haven't been at the front end of the store," Luensmann said. "But it's going pretty good!" Returns, he said were about typical for the day. Armed with gift cards and a zeal for bargains, shoppers like Sanders and the Bueches returned to the nation's malls and stores Monday for a second round of the holiday shopping season as retailers hoped for a post-Christmas sales blitz. Many stores — stymied by shoppers procrastinating even longer than last year — are relying even more on the postholiday business to meet their modest sales goals and wooed customers with deeper discounts, expanded shopping hours and fresh regular price merchandise. They're largely aiming their efforts at the growing numbers of gift card holders who are expected to spend their newfound money more generously. Gift cards are recorded as sales only when they're redeemed. According to ShopperTtak RCT Corp., the week after Christmas accounted for IO percent of holiday sales last year, but analysts expect that period could account for as much as 14 percent this year, given gift cards' soaring popularity. But in New Braunfels, Lindsay Bueche and her brother, Ryan, 12, didn't think about how busy the store was. Ryan, who got most everything he wanted for Christmas, was looking for a phone case. Lindsay and her mom worked to decide which model of karoake machine they would buy. "Her brothers have to hear her sing," Betty said.

So do criminals." Kolbe said a big empty computer box or stereo box left out with the trash while you're away or at work is an open invitation for a thief to visit. "Cut the boxes up and fold them flat," Kolbe said. "Bring the cardboard to a recycling center or dispose of the boxes in a way that crooks don't know what you've got." Whatever you do, don't leave them out at the curb while you're at work, telling a prospective burglar where he needs to go if he wants to watch next year's Super Bowl or Daytona 500 on a big screen, high definition TV. New Braunfels police Det. Bob Parchman said commonsense steps can help keep you from becoming a crime victim. "It's really the same things you should do always," Parchman said. "Make sure things are locked up — and not left in plain sight. Most property crime is a crime of opportunity where a suspect sees something and takes the opportunity to steal it because the owners are not paying attention." A department store parking lot can be a major area for crime during the holidays — particularly during the DAVID INGRAM/Herald-Zeitung Law enforcement officials say putting boxes for televisions and other big-ticket Christmas gifts could serve to attract criminals. dark hours and even this week when stores are full of customers making gift card purchases or trading in items, Parchman said. "I would park in a well-lit area — it doesn't hurt to wait for a space to open up — where there are plenty of other people," Parchman said. "Be sure to lock your vehicle and don't leave anything valuable — a purse, cell phone or laptop computer — where it can be seen." The vast majority of vehicle burglaries, Parchman said, happen to unlocked cars. "But a thief will do a 'smash-and-grab' if he sees something in a car to make it worth it," Parchman said. Be aware too, that once inside the store, not everyone else is a shopper. Some peo ple are looking for things to steal. And by far, one of the most inviting targets is a purse left in a shopping cart while a woman goes around a comer or is looking at some item. Each year, New Braunfels alone has dozens of these cases. "When you're shopping, it's easy to get distracted looking at labels and reading things," Parchman said. "Within seconds, your purse can be stolen and within an hour your credit cards will be maxed out." If someone is following you around the store or does something else that makes you feel uncomfortable with leaving, go to the manager and ask to be escorted to your car or ask for a police officer to be called, Parchman said. If, when you're driving home, someone seems to be following you, go to a police station or wave, honk or flash an officer down. Do not lead a suspicious stranger to where you live, he said. Be sure, also, that you don't open the door to strangers, Parchman said. Doors should be deadbolted and install peepholes if you don't have diem. Also deadbolt chains are a good safety device, he said. "Most of these ideas are really good for the year around," Parchman said.

However, the implementation of these measures remains to be seen, especially in light of the German court ruling regarding the European bailout fund and whether it is in line with national laws.A revival in risk appetite, owing to encouraging UK manufacturing figures, temporarily boosted EUR/USD. The Office for National Statistics showed UK manufacturing production rising by 1.2% in May following a contraction of 0.8% in April, while industrial output for the same month gained 1% from a revised decline of 0.4% previously. The data raised hopes for an economic rebound, which in turn depressed the US dollar.EUR/USD appears to have found some short-term support around $1.22, as traders with shorts on the currency pair have been closing out their positions (buying the euro) around this level.

How to kickoff wedding planning
One of the most important things to do once a budget has been established and blessed by everyone contributing is to map out a wedding agenda — as much of one as is possible at the beginning of planning. The agenda will give you answers to the basic questions you'll need to answer as you enter the next phase of planning: hiring vendors. Do I need a photographer for eight hours or ten? How long should my band contract be? How much time should I allocate for photographs? Should I take photographs before the ceremony or after or both? When should hair and makeup begin? What time should the bus pick up my guests? etc.
But how do you start crafting a wedding agenda — where do you start? The ceremony time is generally a good starting point. Ideally your ceremony will begin just before "golden hour," which is the time of day just before sunset when the light is dreamy and photographs look their best. Once you've determined what time your ceremony will begin and how long it will last, you can move on to thinking about how to structure photography before and after your ceremony.
In my experience, the trickiest part of crafting an agenda is in finding consensus around the photo/shot list. Since the posed photographs before and after the ceremony are driving timing to such a large extent, I would recommend tackling this first. Your photographer will most likely provide a suggested list of photographs.
Most couples schedule about an hour of photographs prior to the ceremony. This allows the photographer time to photograph the bride, bridesmaids and her family, as well as the groom, groomsmen and the groom's family unhurried before vows are exchanged. You can decide if you'd like to do a first look then, too.
Once you've developed a list of pre-ceremony photographs, you'll develop a list that will be taken after the ceremony. Then, you can easily back out time earlier in the day for hair, make-up, getting ready, transportation, and later in the day for your reception.
At the beginning of planning the most important items to work out on your agenda are: ceremony start and end time, posed photos before and after your ceremony, cocktail hour start and end time, reception start and end time. Once you've penciled in these significant time stamps, you'll be in a great place to move forward hiring vendors and scheduling transportation!
organizing your day of list
Organizing your day of deliveries is one of the most important things you can do to prepare for your wedding weekend, especially if you're hosting a large event with lots of moving parts. When we work with clients, we create a detailed production spreadsheet; that sheet lists each and every item that is being delivered for the ceremony and reception, along with all pertinent details (who is delivering, when, how to operate, etc). For smaller events with less production, you don't need an elaborate spreadsheet, but you do need to communicate who is responsible for all items during their life at the reception so there is no confusion during installation or at the end of the night about where the item came from and where it is going.
We also can. not. live. without clear containers labeled with a photo label and a descriptive label that notes the items' destination and the quantity (something we manage for all of our clients — it's crucial!). Within those containers, all items are "table ready," meaning that as much packaging as possible has been removed to make set up go quickly and smoothly.
Photo: loving the way these items are organized via martha stewart weddings; also love these day of organization tips from Ritzy Bee
the belly button trick
One of the questions I'm asked most during rehearsals or just before ceremonies by a bride or maid who wants to make sure she's getting it just right is, "how should I hold my bouquet?". Just remember the belly button rule: hold your bouquet lower than you think it should be — usually at or around your belly button. Bouquets look best carried lower than you think they should be!

Christina and Tom's film by Josh Gooden
There's just nothing quite as wonderful as seeing film from a client's wedding day, but Christina and Tom's film by Josh Gooden completely blew us away. Josh told their story so beautifully, in a way that augmented the story captured in still pictures. We're such firm believers in videography and always tell clients its one investment you'll be so, so glad you made.
eye to eye
I've seen it way too many times: couples nervous at the altar, clinging to the minister like a life preserver. Don't do it! Don't recite your vows to the minister while your spouse is left searching desperately for eye contact. Worry more about maintaining eye contact with your significant other as you recite your vows and less about reciting the lines perfectly. Katie and Max did it beautifully, as shown above!
It's not everyone's cup of tea to be on display in front of 25 to 350 of their nearest and dearest friends and family, no doubt. The silver lining in this whole thing is, though, that if you do make a mistake, no one will know, except maybe you and your minister. Take it easy on yourself and enjoy!
Southern Hospitality
In addition to styling Janie Medley's lovely feature in the latest Southern Weddings Magazine, the SW girls were kind enough to ask me to contribute to a story called "35 tips for a wedding full of southern hospitality." Naturally, I wrote about something that's near and dear to my heart — timing. No matter how beautiful the details, how sumptuous the linens, how striking the flowers, a thoughtfully crafted event day agenda is the foundation of your event; anticipating how your guests will experience each moment of your wedding day and crafting an experience with them in mind is one of the most generous expressions of hospitality!
family style dining, part two
Gay offered such great insight into what it means to serve dinner "family style." Here are a few technical things about this dinner style…
*Design your floor plan to match the service style. Nearly 250 guests attended Alex and Paul's reception. Although that's a large party, we really wanted the reception to feel intimate and for the focus to be on conversation and feasting! That was the entire point of serving dinner family style, after all. For that reason, we grouped tables end to end and created a u-shape around the dance floor. The table set-up facilitated conversation and passing of platters.
*Using escort cards and place cards are a must with this floor plan! Each table seated eight people, but with tables grouped end to end, some table groupings seated as many as 40 guests. When tables are grouped in this fashion, it is really important to number each table in the group (as shown below) and to offer both escort cards and place cards. Even though each table will be numbered, without place cards, it can be difficult for guests to discern where one table ends and another begins.
*Vary the look of the tables. To keep things interesting and to make sure the tables weren't a sea of sameness, which could have easily happened with this many tables, we decided to seat guests at a mix of linen covered tables and farm tables.
*Don't forget to leave some room for platters! We really labored over how much decor to put on the tables. Because dinner was served on larger platters that were passed from guest to guest, we had to be mindful of leaving space on the table. Unlike a plated dinner service, where you could literally create a "runner" of floral down the center of the table, we had to be sure to leave some breaks. We also had to be mindful of budget — long tables can be more expensive to decorate. Ultimately, we decided to group jars of flowers in threes and spaced the groupings with hurricane candles. To add a little more sparkle to the table, we scattered tea lights.

family style dining
I'm so happy to welcome Gay from A Pimento Catering in Charlottesville. I had the good fortune to work with Gay at our clients', Alex and Paul, wedding last year at Maymont, and she has been gracious enough to stop by today to talk about family style dining, the style in which we served dinner at Alex and Paul's wedding. Without further ado, I'll turn it over to our guest now…
I am thrilled to share my experiences catering in the "family style." I'll make no secret of it: serving a dinner this way is my personal favorite approach, for lots of reasons. It's definitely not for everyone, but for those who wish to enjoy a relaxed (not to mean informal, necessarily), gracious and more "home-y" meal, family style service – meaning that guests sit down for a meal which is presented on platters to be passed among them for self-service – is a perfect way to connect people, food and conversation.
We cater many weddings in the course of a year. Clients come to us with all manner of questions, ideas and, sometimes, challenges to overcome when planning a wedding. There are definitely many among us who feel that a plated dinner is the preferred approach to a wedding dinner. But for those who are exploring other ideas, I encourage you to consider this new, old-fashioned method of sharing a meal. I'll highlight what I feel to be the plusses here, some of which are the perfect solution to challenges that may arise in deciding how to serve your guests a meal that all can enjoy.
Graciousness Most of us are fortunate enough to remember at least a few holiday or weekend meals when family and friends would gather around a table (a large table in my family!) to eat together. Remember the comfort you felt when you settled into a chair you knew you'd occupy for an easy while, unhurried? The pleasure of sharing a meal your host or hostess, or maybe even some of the guests prepared with care? What more perfect day to enjoy that feeling than your wedding day when (as I see it) a group of people you care specially for, a group of people likely never to be in one place together, like this, on any other day? Because the dishes are passed among guests, even those who have never met will speak to each other, connect, as they hand off the roasted root vegetables or bread.
Variety One challenge in planning a wedding meal is that the average wedding party includes a wide variety of personalities, tastes and dietary conditions. When serving a plated meal, the scope of what you serve is narrowed to what fits on a plate in a few courses – choice can be more challenging to offer. But with family-style service, one can offer more than one entrée and multiple sides – with a little creativity (who doesn't love that?!) – and appease a wide spectrum of tastes.
Often we break up a meal and serve perhaps a pre-set, plated first course, a family-style main course and come back to a plated dessert. You can squeeze in a delicious cheese course, too, that guests can linger over at the end of a meal.
Beauty Many wedding guests find themselves seated at a round table of eight or ten guests. With family style service, you're better off opening up and expanding your seating to larger groups of 12, 20 or more. That can be a great way to help unfamiliar guests connect and keep together large groups of family or friends that can one has to break up in smaller seatings. I love the conviviality among larger groups – conversation always seems larger, more open. These days many design and equipment rental companies keep larger tables to make this happen. Now many are renting wood-constructed, farm-style tables which I love especially, but not exclusively, in outdoor settings. They are décor in and of themselves. (…I have yet to see an unattractive farm table…)
And formality? No loss there. A family-style dinner need not mean less thorough or attentive service. Go ahead and pull out the china and crystal, too, if you like.
But one can just as easily create a less dressy table with things like wild flowers, second hand china and the likes. Or a more sleek look, with geometric or paper table runners or placemats, cool stemless glassware and textured china. The options are truly endless.
Cost Because of the choices open to you – food, décor, seating and mode/intensity of service – the cost can be quite variable, especially in terms of staffing and equipment rental. You'll want to discuss all of your preferences and needs with your caterer or planner, including your budget (it's a part of planning every event and they can serve you best when they know the parameters you're working in).
Thank you so much for stopping by, Gay!
