Pre-Reception Activities
As the wedding party wraps up their photo session, guests usually proceed to the reception venue. If you're hosting a sit-down dinner and your budget allows, offering drinks and hors d'oeuvres is a thoughtful touch. This refreshment period can last up to an hour, depending on the photographer. Guests can also sign the guest book and leave gifts at a designated table.
Buffet Considerations
For buffet-style receptions, some couples let guests start eating before they arrive. However, consider that some guests might leave early if they eat first. If you prefer to wait, providing beverages and hors d'oeuvres is a great way to keep guests entertained.
Grand Entrance
Upon the bridal party’s arrival, the DJ or speaker announces the grand entrance. The wedding party enters first, with the newlyweds making a memorable entrance last. Each name is announced, along with their relationship to the couple if desired.
Receiving Line
Some couples opt for a receiving line to greet guests. If you choose this, do it as soon as you arrive to ensure that all your guests stay to celebrate with you.
Toasts
Once everyone is settled, it’s time for toasts. Traditionally, the best man and the parents of the bride and groom give speeches. This moment allows parents to formally thank everyone for joining the celebration.
First Dances
The first dances are a cherished tradition. The newlyweds usually open the dance floor, and the bride may dance with her father, while the groom often shares a dance with his mother.
Cake Cutting and Bouquet Toss
Cutting the cake and tossing the bouquet and garter are also popular traditions. Couples might discuss whether to playfully smear cake or keep it tidy. Even with plans, be prepared for surprises!
Grand Finale
The reception concludes with a final dance for the newlyweds. Afterward, the couple departs the venue, followed by the guests. Parents can then finally relax after a long, joyous day.
What a memorable occasion for everyone involved!
