A wedding is a beautiful time for two people to celebrate their love, but the wedding reception is as much for the guests as it is the happy couple. Making the post-ceremony party memorable is the best way to start a wonderful life together. Havelock Social Hall in Lincoln, NE, has hosted weddings of every size and shape, and knows it takes something special to make the reception truly impressive.

5 Excellent Ideas For An Amazing Wedding Reception

1. Make A Creative Entrance

Your reception will be the first time your guests see you as a married couple outside of the ceremony—make it something they remember! A particular song played in the background or a themed entrance can really make an impression and set the tone for the evening with some excitement and entertainment.

2. Switch Up The Dessert

Cake is a wonderful tradition, but adding some unique dessert options will make your reception stand out. Have family members bake some pies from an old, passed-down recipe, or consider a dessert bar so guests can build their own delicious treat. Doughnut tables are a fun and unique idea, where guests can create doughnut treats covered in their own choices of frostings and toppings.

3. Wedding receptionBring In Unique Entertainment

While a DJ or band makes for an undoubtedly enjoyable evening, an unexpected form of entertainment will elevate the night even further. A tarot card reader, strolling tableside musicians or even something as simple as a photo booth can give both tangible keepsakes and wonderful memories for your friends and family. 

4. Get Creative With the Food

Catering can have several different interpretations: food trucks, a pot-luck scenario, a singular ethnic spin on the cuisine, and more! Depending on the style you choose, let your guests experience something they would never expect. Every wedding reception should be a reflection of the couple, so choose what suits you.

5. Make A Fun Guest Book

Rather than just a book with signatures and a space for best wishes, get inventive! Bring some instant Polaroid cameras and have the guests take fun selfies to sign in marker. Give out cards where guests can give date ideas and advice. Give them a canvas where they can paint a fun picture or their own thoughts.
