Ice carving

We can't decide how we feel about ice carvings at our reception. Since the hotel's providing two carvings at no additional cost, we felt compelled to include these as part of the decor. The choices are: urns and vases; a flower-encrusted heart and other heart-shaped sculptures; a flapping swan; two swans forming a heart with their necks; and leaping dolphins. When presented with these choices, we silently scream. (Eeeeeeeeeggghh!!)

The dolphins handily assume the highest rating on the cheesiness scale, with the two swans coming in second. We suggested cats but the catering manager looked at us as if we had gone mad. She said it couldn't be done without looking really weird. Then M suggested Doraemon (can too be done - see pic), and the manager ignored us completely, as I tried not to laugh. Oh well. We'll probably go with urns as part of the floral arrangement, and maybe a punch bowl if it can be done.

I agree with Jen...Doremon is a must. You can even have a sign beside the ice sculpture that reads, "Picture with Doremon, donation suggested. Proceeds will go towards our mortgage." Congrats on being a homeowner!
