“Fun Wedding Reception Ideas” By Guest Blogger & Friend…Tamara Sims.
Planning a wedding can be challenging for many Brides so it is important not to lose sight of the fun and creativity when planning your big day. Here are a few fun wedding ideas that I hope will bring out your “playful” side during the planning process:
Did your Ceremony take place on the Beach? Why not have your DJ create a custom cocktail hour complete with exotic drinks and Island Music to really put your guests in the mood. You can even incorporate shells and sand in your centerpieces along with your favorite flowers. And don’t forget to show your destination wedding video to your guests at your reception.
Do you love the city? The next time you are downtown, bring your camera and take fun photos at your favorite spots throughout the city. The photos can be used to name your tables at your reception…how fun would it be to have your guests seated at the Navy Pier Table (complete with a photo of the two of you on the Ferris Wheel) or the Wrigley Field Table (with a photo of the two of you sharing a hot dog)…the possibilities are endless.
Are you a Foodie? Sit down with your caterer to create 
a menu that reflects some of your favorite cuisine. What about a sushi station or taco bar during cocktail hour? Or maybe the chef can recreate a dish from your favorite restaurant to share with your guests. Or perhaps you have a sweet tooth like me! Try something interactive like a Crepe Station, Make your own Blizzard Station, or Chocolate Risotto Station prepared on site by the Chef. You are only limited by your imagination!
