Unique Wedding Reception Entertainment
By Randy Wilson, Sat Dec 10th
The typical wedding reception entertainment scheme of prettyflowers and background music is fine for some people, but allkinds of options exist to spice it up a bit and provide acelebration that everyone is sure to remember for years to come.
Before planning any of the following wedding receptionentertainment ideas, please take this short bit of advice:discuss it first. These inventive ideas will hopefully bringamusement and vibrancy to your wedding reception entertainment,but it could spell tragedy if you surprise everyone(particularly your spouse) with something completely outlandish.
Build your wedding reception entertainment around a theme thatsuits your personalities and interests. Some specific examplescould be:
For the country bumpkin in you, try a theme centered aroundthe old west. The ol' watering hole should be a big hit. Plantsome (fake) muskets and six-shooters around the area and seewhat kind of drama erupts.
The renaissance era gives many options for a weddingreception entertainment theme. If you have ever been to arenaissance festival, you know what fun it can be. Hazah!In this 21st century, much of the science fiction of thepast has already come to reality. This is very fortunate for thetech-savvy couple looking to design a high-tech receptioncentered
around a sci fi theme. Laser beams and shiny, metallicthings always look futuristic.
Arrrh matey! Not all pirates are from the Carribean, butthey can all throw a wild party! A big treasure chest filledwith styrofoam peanuts can hide treasures for the kids todiscover.Ancient Egypt is always an intriguing theme for any party.Design a secret heiroglyphic message for your guests to decodeand win a prize. The favorite and most important symbol for yourancient Egyptian wedding reception entertainment: the Ankh.If you really want to get the guests roaring, try this: Hireabsolutely the worst band you can find in the city. Allow themto play a couple of songs before you encourage the guests to boothem from the stage. Your real band can then emerge from thecrowd and "save the day" with beautiful, professional tunes.(You will still pay the sucker band for their full set, ofcourse. They did their part.)
Instead of subdued background music between sets, hire acomedian to perform during the band's intermission. An hilariousand upbeat act will keep your guests attentive and help themcatch a second wind for another round of celebration.
There is no rule book that says wedding reception entertainmentmust be confined to the stage. Magicians, mimes, and jugglersare a few examples of entertainers who could meander through thecrowd and keep everyone on their toes. They can scope out thefolks who might look bored or ignored, hopefully prying open afew smiles. Remember to ask the juggler to please forego theflaming torches - just this once!
These are just a few wedding reception entertainment ideas toget you started. What you eventually decide to do should reflectyour own tastes. But whatever you do, the key ingredient thatmust never be forgotten is: fun!
