Hi All,

I would like to incorporate pool into the wedding somehow and can't find anything decent.

We found a couple cake toppers that sucked.

We thought of using pool balls or famous players (even thought there would only be 5 guys there that would know who they are) for table numbers.

Would love to rent a table for the night to put into the banquet hall but I don't now if that will fly with the woman as she knows I won't leave it and finding a rental for just a night with a decent table is damn near impossible.

Soooo, pool playing friends of AZ. What say you?

Well, I have it easy. The woman I'm involved with currently is WAY more involved with pool than I will ever be but here are some thoughts.

First, skip the cake toppers and just buy a cheap 8 ball and a cheap cue ball on the web and use that.

Second, I would check with the local places that rent party equipment, poker tables, etc. There are some in almost every decent sized city. Recently I went to a Cigar Festival where they had rented some bar tables from a local party rental place and had a some female players challenging people for charity. They got the tables pretty cheap if I remember right.

Third, I think one way to sell it to your bride might be to sell the table being there as the the same as the bride's money dance some weddings have but on a pool table. Meaning, people can challenge the groom or any of the wedding party but they have to pay for the challenge and the money all goes to the bride and groom for their honeymoom (or a new pool table).
 
so i take it she beat you in 9B and now yáll have to get married? ;) i'm kidding.

but FYI, there's a red table upstairs @ Cosmopolitan outside of STK restaurant. and downstairs, they have a special chapel where you can officially NOT get married.... (which is kind of cool when you think about it)

how about this - since it seems that this is more important to you than her (no offense): what if you/yáll received texts & posts from pros & all of AZB, wishing yáll congratulations?
 
The location is already booked.

I asked one of the party rental places int he area and all they had was a crappy table. Ill try a few more. Maybe I can sneak it in there.

I'd love to get a congrats from everyone. :)
 
ok, so when? and where?

i agree with Allen. if the venue is already booked, then yáll could swing by your pool hall on the way to your "marital bed" & celebrate (if not consumate on your table....). who is your hall?

you could also throw an 8B in your tux pocket....

PS - KK9 wants to know if you'd like Earl Strickland to jump out of your cake?!?!
 
If your future wife doesn't know about you wanting to get a pool table put up at the reception I would scratch that idea all together.

You don't want to start off on the wrong foot. You could go out the night before your wedding and and play all of the pool you can. After you are married your late nights at the hall will cease to exist and be a thing of the past.

Congrats on your new adventure that you and wife are about to take together. I wish the both of you lots of happiness great memories.
 
...... or mover the wedding to Las Vegas. Then go from the Elvis wedding chaple straight over to Pool Sharks. When you and The New Mrs are done you guys go back to the hotel or the airport or Area 51 ( or wherever)
no shortage of pool activities there

Ok, first, forget about playing. You will be too busy, and one table with all those guests ??? Nah, not good. Just too much hassle.

So, what I would do.

1. All the tables at the reception should be numbered using signs with object balls, and if you go over 15 tables, then starting using two balls, so 16 could be the 10b and 6b, etc.

2. When they introduce you when you arrive at the reception, have all of the folks that stood up for you, ladies and gents, and both sets of parents, in two lines, and they all raise a pool cue and touch them tip to tip above their heads, forming a nice little "cue tunnel" to walk through. You can buy some cheap $15 cues for this.

3. As you begin your walk through the tunnel, tell the DJ to play "Werewolves in London" song, and do your best Vincent impersonation as you walk through the cue tunnel with your new bride.

4. Have your best man make his toast using a Magic 8 ball, and when he asks if the newlyweds marriage will last forever, shake the Magic 8 ball, read it, and say that Magic 8 ball says, "Don't be a nit, of course it will"

5. The wedding cake should be in the shape of pool table, with a full set of balls in the right color frosting !!

Well, that's all I got !!

I think for table numbers we are going to do a pool ball in a clear cylinder but I like the thought.

Small wedding party. Wifes BF and Cous, My BF and father. Great idea though. These are a bunch of great ideas.

3. As you begin your walk through the tunnel, tell the DJ to play "Werewolves in London" song, and do your best Vincent impersonation as you walk through the cue tunnel with your new bride.

We have our walk out song.

4. Have your best man make his toast using a Magic 8 ball, and when he asks if the newlyweds marriage will last forever, shake the Magic 8 ball, read it, and say that Magic 8 ball says, "Don't be a nit, of course it will"

This is in.

5. The wedding cake should be in the shape of pool table, with a full set of balls in the right color frosting !!

Yeah this definitely isn't happening. Maybe a grooms cake but not the primary cake.

Well, that's all I got !!

Thanks a bunch. A lot of great creative ideas.

How about for the cake topper, go to a trophy shop and have them build the top part of a trophy with a male and a female pool player shooting on a pool table. Many trophy places do not have the pool table option, but I can get you one that does and is reasonable if you PM me.

If your wife is not into pool as much as you then leave pool out of the wedding. Remember it is her day. The pool table cake idea someone had was pretty cool also.

Hire Kid Delicious to do some trick shots at the reception. :thumbup: :grin-square: :shocked2:

best,

Hey, that would be something Brian. Plus there is no doubt that the Kid would keep the guests entertained in between.

Too bad you didn't live closer. There is a young girl that plays League and does cakes on the side.

She can make absolutely anything. I saw one of her Harley Davidson, orange and black cakes. She has made Start Wars and many cartoon cakes, for the kids.

She made a turn table cake for a DJ, right down to the tone arm, or whatever you call it.

A pool table cake would be right up her alley, or maybe that would be a Bowling cake.
 
Serve cheap greasy bar food.

Have a Calcutta for the time that the first keg of beer will be empty.

Have a jukebox instead of a band or DJ and solicit dollars to feed it.

Hold a 50/50 raffle.

Have more guests than there are chairs.

Make sure that the restrooms are dirty with no paper or hot water.

Oh, and don't forget to argue about the bridesmaids "rankings". "Hey, no way is she a 36C, she's a 34B tops" ;)
