GOOD TIPS FOR YOUR RECEPTION
1.Don't put older guests near the speakers or next to the dance floor.
2.Place your entertainment in a prominent area to help get people involved and as a focal point for announcements.
3.Have a smaller dance floor rather than a huge dance floor.
4.Darker is better than lighter when it comes to the dance floor. People tend to be shy in the light and somewhat embarrassed.
5.Don't place Bride and Groom near Exit Doors. Keep Exit Doors closed.
6.Remember that venues with great views from a porch outside will be temptations for guests to go elsewhere than where the reception is.
7.Keep the bar in the main reception room. It is the place where people will congregate.
8.When the bar is closed the party will lose momentum and end shortly.
9.Use the tried and true music that people recognize and like to dance to. Avoid obscure or unknown songs that are not danceable. Those types of songs can be used in cocktail hour or dinner.
10. Do all the photography and speeches at the beginning of the reception. If done later they will detract from the momentum of the reception.
11. If your rehearsal dinner is going to be on the "wild" side, try to schedule it 2 days before the wedding rather than the night before. You want to be fresh, rested and ready for the big day.
12. Spend time with your entertainer choosing the music that you really want and use his expertise and advice in designing the program. Remember that your guests remember what a good time they had as opposed to the flowers from the Amazon, the flaming centerpieces, and the
