- GREAT IDEAS FOR YOUR WEDDING RECEPTION -
• Offer convenient child care : Hire a babysitter or two and set them up in a room so little ones have a place to go when they ' re tired or bored . If possible , pick a room near your reception location so parents can check on their kids , then easily return to the party . Stock the room with snacks , games , and a portable DVD player to keep them entertained . Be sure there ' s a soft sofa , pillows , and blankets for those who need naps .
• Stage a fun , show-stopping exit : You and your spouse leaving the ceremony will likely be one of the most heavily photographed moments of your wedding . Jazz it up by passing out small bags of colorful confetti , mini beach balls , or even rose or lavender petals and buds for everyone to toss your way as you exit the room .
• Set up a bubbly bar . Make toast time even more fun and delicious by letting guests customize their champagne . Put out bowls of fruit , lavender sprigs , and flavored ice cubes that people can spoon into their glasses of bubbly before the toasts begin .
• Get your dog involved ! Have him wear a matching bow tie or her a matching bow . If your pup is particularly well-trained , you might want to plan on having him or her participate in the ceremony in some cute , small way !
