10 Things You Must Do At Your Wedding Reception

Suggestions For Essentials At Your Reception

Introducing the Bride and Groom

1. Laugh together during the speeches – The speeches should be humorous and something that everyone can enjoy and laugh at. Some of the best photos from the reception can be the couple sharing a laugh together. Encourage our speakers to be pleasantly amusing not mean. This is your wedding reception, it should be fun.
2. Make cutting the cake special – It is not necessary to smash each other in the face with frosting. ou might even consider making the initial cut a private bride/groom/photographer moment. Keep it elegant.
3. Have Fun – Your guests take their cue from you at the reception. If you are uptight, they will feel uncomfortable. If you are having a good time and being playful, they will too.
4.Include the kids – You could have a kid free wedding, but the 21st century version of a reception includes kids, but plans for them. Hire an amazingly fun sitter to suprevise the kids in a separate room. Book a magician or set up a movie.If the kids are having fun and under contro, everyone will have a better time.
5.Have a signature cocktail – Either have one created for the two fo you or choose one that you already know that you both like. Just make sure that you have both tried it and you both DO like it.
6. EAT – The bride and groom must eat. A hungry bride is a cranky bride. If your dress is too tight to eat anything, rethink the dress or your pre-wedding diet. If you are busy making the rounds and visiting with your guests, how about sitting down with them for a visit and eating a little something while you chat.
7. Dance With Your Father – The father-daughter dance is a traditional part of the wedding that shouldn’t be skipped – even at a non-traditional wedding. Surprise him by choosing one of his favorite songs. It really is important to him.
8.Say thank you to your guests – Thank your guests for coming to your wedding and sharing in your special day. You could deliver a brief, sincere thank you speech to the assembled guests just before the meal is served. Make sure that they know that you appreciate their attendance. Your guests are what helped to make your wedding reception fun. Let them know you appreciate them.

A Little Alone Time

9. Grab Some Alone Time – It is important for you and your groom to not lose focus on what this day is really about. Slip away for a few minutes to hold hands and take a walk while everyone else is busy dancing. Or find a great place for a private toast.
10. Relax – The stress of planning is over. You are beginning the rest of your life with your true love, your best friend. Make happy memories today to last the rest of your life. Your wedding reception is a celebration of the beginning of a new phase of your life. Enjoy it!
