Don't leave your guests waiting forever!

It's your day.  It's your time to shine.  It's the time for all the attention to be on you and everything to revolve around you.  Well, kinda sort of.  While these things are true, there are other people to take into consideration on your wedding day.  Such as...ummm...I dunno...all of the people who have taken time out of their busy schedules, spent money on travel and gifts and suffered through catching up with family.  Yep, you got it...your guests!!  

The ceremony is over and you're busy, busy, busy:  photos, greeting guests and talking to people, cutting the cake and getting something to drink.  But while you're zooming around here and there, what are your guests doing?   Sitting and catching up?   Yeah, that will keep people entertained almost as much as reading a magazine about road paving.  Your day being about you doesn't mean that consideration of others has to go out the window! 

What are good things for your guests to do? Here are a couple: Appetizers, drinks, getting to know one another games, unique ways for them to find their seats, disposable cameras on the tables, photo booths (home made or professional), board game area, professionals (magicians, artist to draw pictures, dancers) and even slide shows.

 The bottom line is that if you want your guests to hang out throughout the reception, keep them entertained. Keep things moving and keeping them wanting to know what is coming up!
