Every one of my clients tells me that one of their goals for their wedding reception is for their guests to have a good time. When I press them to define a "good time," many couples reply that they want their guests to eat really good food and for them to be up and dancing to the entertainment they selected. So, I make recommendations to them for the best reception sites and/or caterers and great bands and djs. The couples then go and select from my recommendations -- the platform is set for everyone at the wedding to have a "good time," right?
Wrong! There is one more ingredient that must be taken into account - one that can't be as easily selected as a good band. It's the guests themselves! You must think about who will be attending your wedding -- their ages and personalities. Are most of your guests older family members who prefer to sit and talk with other relatives that they haven't seen in a while, or are they twenty-somethings who go clubbing every weekend? For the most part, the guests will drive how the party unfolds. However, YOU, the bride & groom, can set the stage, so to speak. If you want a packed dance floor all night, make sure that you are leading the dance sets! Guests follow the bride & groom's lead, so go out and enjoy yourselves and everyone else will join you on the Conga line!
Until next time, happy planning ...
