Marriage is a traditional event and a small wedding leaves you for a lot of imagination. Here are some ideas you might want to consider for your reception:
- Instead of having a typical reception, have a “wedding supper” at a restaurant as simple or as lavish as you prefer. Some restaurants will even print a special menu just for your event.
- Consider renting a trolley or carriage or other interesting transportation for your guests.
- Have your photographer take photos of all your guests, either in one large group photo or as couples, families, or other logical groups.
- If the reception is in a historic home or museum, have a tour guide there to show guests the facility.
- Instead of a band or dj, hire a string quartet, a harpist, or other unique musical performer.
- Prepare a slide show of photos of each of you from childhood, adolescence, and on up through meeting one another. Include photos of each of you with your families and other special guests.
- Renting or borrowing the equipment (projector and screen) is possible. Then show the slides during the reception, either with music (you can create a mixed tape beforehand) or with some clever narration. Some videography companies offer a similar service for creating videos from your still photos.
