How To Make Your Wedding Reception Beyond Extraordinary
A wedding is a memorable event that should leave a lasting impression of that big day for many years to come
. While there are many things that make up a stunning wedding, the wedding reception is arguably one of the things that people remember most. Having a top notch reception not only impresses the invited guests, but it also adds glamour and enhances the significance of this big day. With that said here is how you can take your wedding reception beyond extraordinary.
One idea on how to make this event stand out is to have reception ushers. We've all been to a wedding ceremony that had ushers, but how many had Reception Ushers? The ushers can escort guests to theirreception seats while attending to them in the most professional manner possible. In order to avoid last minute rush, find out from your caterer if its wait staff can do this extra job or find some ushers yourself.
Your guests' transportation is another great way of having an extraordinary reception on your wedding day. If the reception is far from the wedding ceremony venue, consider giving your guests a shuttle treatment to the reception. Try and make this journey fun by renting a top-class shuttle to ferry your guests to the venue. You can hire a bus that matches your wedding theme and customize it with colors and some music to add to the fun and flair.
Pre ceremony cocktail is a pleasant surprise to your guests, especially if they are not expecting any drinks until the reception. However, be sure not to serve anything strong. Having non-alcoholic drinks that they can comfortably sip before taking their seats can do the trick.
Your first dance as a couple will definitely be one of the highlights of the day. You can use this special event to spur up the entertainment factor. If you have chosen a romantic song, then you can move the guests by having some fresh flower petals dropped from the ceiling. This will work best as compared to using confetti. You may contact your florist to make this arrangement.
Give your guests the VIP treatment by giving them a welcome bag at the ceremony that may contain a map and a few snacks. You may include a personal welcome note as well as a gift certificate to one of the local favorite coffee shops as a form of appreciation for turning up for your big day.
Let your guests know that it is not only the wedding that matters to you, but having them there to be a part of your big day is equally important. So consider providing them with customized flowers to make them feel loved and appreciated. You may contact your favorite florist to make an arrangement whereby guests can make their own flowers. Supply some colorful blooms with easy to follow instructions.
Make toast time more colorful and outstanding by letting your guests customize their own champagne drinks. Providing dishes full of lovely purees, lavender springs, flavored ice cubes and citrus twists can provide a combination like no other. It will definitely make toasting that much more fun.
Do not go for the ordinary guest books if you want to make your wedding reception look and feel extraordinary. Get creative with ideas and find something unique like washable ink pads where guests can leave their thumbprints next to their notes or provide fun stickers they can choose from to stick next to their name.
Don't forget to make your departure unforgettable. Remember Prince William and his new bride driving around in his little sports car after the ceremony? How fun was that? Consider doing something just as fun. Riding off in a horse carriage, hot air balloon, or a boat (if you're near water). Thinking outside the box is what will turn your wedding reception from ordinary to extraordinary.
