When choosing your reception
site, be sure they have, or can provide an appropriate dance floor.
Make sure that the room is large enough to accomodate your dance floor
and all of your party.
The menu can be light D'Oeuvres, heavy D'Oeuvres, sit-down dinner, buffet,
etc., depending on how formal you wish to be and, of course, your budget.
Get everything in writing. Will the reception site provide napkins,
dance floor, table skirts, microphones, hookups, table centerpieces, etc.
Extra touches: ice sculpture, single-use camera on the tables, personalized
mementos for the guests, and a balloon arch for the bride and grooms entry.
Some wedding traditions include:
The money dance or dollar dance, at which guests pay a small amount of money to dance with the bride or groom.
In some cultures, the money is pinned to a special apron worn by the bride.
Tossing of the bride's bouquet and garter. The bride tosses her bouquet over her shoulder to a group of all the single women present. Whoever catches it is supposed to be the next to get married. Similarly, the groom tosses the bride's garter to the single men, often after removing it from her leg, to the amusement of the guests.
Sometimes the man who catches the garter is supposed to put it on the leg of the woman who catches the bouquet. Sometimes the garter is sold in a raffle instead of being tossed. In some regions of the U.S., this is considered tacky.
Clinking of the glasses: Guests will often clink their glasses during dinner to ask the newlyweds to stand up and kiss. Some couples pass out wedding favor bells for guests to ring instead of clinking glasses.
