RECEPTION TIPS<br />
GUEST CONSIDERATION: If you have a lot of elderly guests, consider them when planning out your<br />
timeline! Many won’t stay until the very end of the reception, so consider planning sweet traditions<br />
like cake-cutting and parent dances for earlier in the evening so they can be a part of them!<br />
KEEP IT MOVING: Chat with your DJ or Coordinator about how you can plan your reception’s flow in<br />
a way that will keep guests engaged and moving all night, until the open dance floor really kicks off!<br />
MAKE IT YOUR OWN: If you want to have a special dance with your grandparents, do it! If you have<br />
elderly relatives you want to honor with an anniversary dance, do it! Make your reception a reflection<br />
of yourselves, and don’t feel like you have to keep to traditions! Also make sure to give your DJ or<br />
Band a “Do Not Play” list if there are songs you really don’t want to hear during your reception! (Does<br />
anyone really like the chicken dance?)<br />
DON’T GET CAUGHT UP: In the details! You want to enjoy your reception to the fullest, not spend<br />
it worrying about if your centerpieces look good. Sure details are pretty and fun to photograph, but<br />
they can steal joy of the day if you get too caught up in them (speaking from experience!). Plan your<br />
centerpieces, welcome table, etc. well before the wedding and teach your coordinator or a close friend<br />
to set them up so you aren’t thinking about them day of! Delegation is key!<br />
