Cocktail Hour

Hopefully the cocktail hour will be the kick off to our fabulous party!
With that being said, we are tentatively having my friend's father's band play during the cocktail hour!
* Vavoom is a 90's and today rock cover band that will give our cocktail hour a fun and spunky vibe, and will get the party started early. 

I also plan to display the reception escort cards at the cocktail hour.  I'm super excited about how this DIY project will come out.  Names will be hand written on wood cut outs of maple leaves that we will paint in our different wedding colors (chocolate brown, mocha, teal, and gold), which will hang from a "fall-like" Manzanita tree.  Here is an inspiration pic...
