Why not add
a kissing ball to your reception fun?
Using a large foam ball, cover it with flowers, slip a 72” ribbon
through it and refrigerate it until the reception. Hang the ball in a convenient spot at the
reception. Anytime the couple or guests
walk beneath it, a kiss is a must.
Instead of
having guests tapping their glasses to compel the couple to kiss, place a set
of ceramic bells at each table or give them to members of the wedding
party. Attach a note to each bell that
reads, “When the bell chimes, it’s kissing time”. That is much softer and nicer than the
clanging of knives against glassware.
Be sure to
have instant cameras at each table for fun-filled moments that might not be
captured otherwise.
For a
special moment, select the couple that has been married the longest and present
this “bride” with your bridal bouquet or a special arrangement. That is much more fun than “tossing” your
flowers.
While
flowers are the usual choice table centerpieces at the reception, consider the
impact of a room full of balloons. They
are relatively inexpensive and provide a festive party atmosphere. Keep the color scheme to a maximum of three
colors and either scatter the helium- filled balloons throughout the room or
cluster them in smaller bunches as table centerpieces. Just remember to make their strings long
enough hat they don’t block the views at the tables.
Photographs
in varying sizes and in a variety of frame make wonderful centerpieces. Photos of the couple at varying ages, photos
of members of the wedding party at various ages and family photos, make conversation starters and are a
thoughtful way to make everyone a part of the occasion.
