Reply #6: I always do a dinner/quiet party thing at my house.

BTW, yours looks awesome! I think I'll try that idea next year and do the Asian thing.

At my place, we're having:

Antipasti platter w/ prosciutto, parmesan, mozzarella, cannelini beans and roasted red pepper in a vinaigrette, olive tapenade
Cheese in puff pastry

Poached Salmon w/ Lemon Butter sauce
Standing Rib Roast
Mashed Potatoes (my sister will eat NO OTHER potato dish)
Roasted Asparagus
Broccoli Rabe sauteed in olive oil with garlic
Tossed Salad

Choices, choices (I made a few desserts):
Chocolate Torte
Key Lime Squares
Ice Cream Sandwiches (made w/ two white chocolate macadamia nut cookies and a vanilla ice cream middle)

We'll play games, too. We'll also watch our wedding video. Our guests were all in the wedding party, so it should be fun to laugh at ourselves and maybe make up a wedding video drinking game. I figure I deserve it - I've suffered through all their wedding/baby/family videos, now they can suffer through mine (evil laugh here). ;-)
