Your Head Table
The focus of the reception room is traditionally the head
table. Here are some head table tips:
- Keep centerpieces low so guests can see over them, or use tall stem vases for strikingly high centerpieces. Your guests will be able to see under them!
- Make sure the table is placed where the DJ can see you. This will allow him to better MC and coordinate your reception schedule.
- Head table seating is traditionally as shown below, with the bride and groom in the center, then alternating the wedding party beginning with the Best Man and Maid of Honor.
Something Different:
Rather than having the traditional head table, sit at a large
round table with your bridal party and their spouses (or dates) in the center of the room. If
you have a large bridal party, this may require more than one
table, but allowing your bridal party to sit with their dates
will make the night enjoyable for them, as well!
|
Music at the Reception
There is NO doubt that your musician or DJ will make or break your
party. It's tempting to skimp in this area, especially when you
are on a tight budget. Don't do it! Hire the best.
A good DJ or band-leader will make the transitions between reception
events seamless and will have EVERYONE up dancing and celebrating
with you!

Uncle Bob wants to be the DJ at our reception.
It's FREE!
Should we let him?
Ummm ... think twice!

Your Wedding Cake |
 |
Tradition says the "bride's cake"
is usually a white layer cake, but today's brides are being VERY
inventive with their cakes! You can get anything from cheesecake
to individual mini cakes for each guest!
Look through the bridal magazines for ideas and clip out the designs
you really like. When you visit the local bakeries ask them if they
can re-create the design for you. Be sure not to limit yourself,
though! Ask the bakery if they have any "specialties"!
