Help planning reception after destination wedding!
I am in desperate need of advice..
My fiancee and I are planning a destination wedding in Maui this October. Only his brother and wife will be joining us. How do I plan this reception? We want to have a "Hawaiian" theme. I have a daughter who is 10 and a son who is 8. My fiancee has a 15 yr. old and then we have a 1 year old together. Both of us have been married before. We want the kids to be involved in the reception.
Since we are not really having a "wedding party" do we still have a "head table"? How about the "entrance" itself, do we just arrive before the guests and greet them as they arrive? Do we have a cake cutting? I know that the decision ultimately lies upon what we want, but I would like some feedback on what the proper way is to do this.
Any feedback would be great! Thanks, Frustrated Maui_girl

Dear Frustrated Maui Girl,
You probably want to greet your guests as they arrive. You will be the hosts of this party. You can have the cake cutting and any of the traditional elements that seem appropriate. The longer you wait to host the reception the more elements seem silly to include, like the first dance.
You don't need a head table. It really isn't a must for any reception. You may want a special table for just you two or you and your children.
