Overnight Wedding Reception Ideas
Some brides these days are for wedding receptions on their head and creating super long receptions that run through the night and morning. If this is you, planning some activities for a long night time is important.In general, if the reception is planned throughout the night, it went something like this: a wedding held on the first night and the following reception. Around midnight, many visitors have left and the remaining group (generally the younger visitors, but not always) will continue to dance and have fun at parties and in the morning. At some point, breakfast will be provided and all returned to the accident.
Why do you need activities for such a reception? The answer is simple. You want to keep people entertained through the night, you want to keep them at the reception and do not let them give in to driving home to crash and sleep and want to provide them with a real party. Let's face it: if they are willing to hang in with you for the duration, they deserve for their efforts.
First, you can simply set about the activities you have planned. Look to your DJ about these activities and leave them to him to keep things on schedule. Do you plan to take the cake in the middle of the night. Activities should be done at night is more traditional, so it does not intend to stay all night away. However, if you are determined to keep your guests throughout the night, you could hold one activity back with the hope they keep the home visitors.
Depending on your guest list, you can delay the father-daughter dance until after midnight, or you can keep some toast for the evening hours. In any case, the presence of several other fun events is a great idea.
As guests began to fade, bring a pinata, where you can find shaped like a wedding ring, wedding gown or a glass of champagne. Fill with a variety of goods. Candy is always popular, but you can fill it with silly toys found at the carnival party store. DJ played patriotic songs and let everyone have a chance to Pinatas. Make the dance floor and really let people have a swing at. You should have plenty of space. When the pinata breaks, all enjoy the taste of sweet candy or can enjoy some silly little carnival game or toy.
Those who lived during the marriage will need to rest. Plan a photo presentation or watching a video for this purpose. You can have someone who is familiar with the PowerPoint presentation to create an image or person collecting video images. Do this about 2 or 3 am and will last a good half hour to 45 minutes. This gives everyone a chance to sit and relax and also gives DJs a chance to sit down, relax and rejuvenate for the next round.
In the same vein that allows guests a little relaxation, activity which employs some brides are non-activity. If weddig are outside, you can provide inflatable mattresses and have some torches lit. If guests ant to sit down and relax, they can do in bed and still be part of the activity while resting. If it's a long day and someone who needs a break, reception room chairs do not seem the most comfortable. If the reception is in the room, think about providing large pillows for guests to sit in or create a corner with inflatable mattresses and lots of fabric. This can be a chat area where people can go to rest but still part of the fun. They can chat and catch up with other guests and then head for partying more when they are being rejuvenated.
