Some brides nowadays are turning wedding receptions on their head and developing super long receptions that run through the night and into the early morning. If this is you, planning some activities for those long nighttime hours is important.

Normally, if an all-night reception is planned, it goes something like this: the wedding is kept in the early evening and reception follows. By about midnight, a lot of the visitors will have left and the group that is staying (normally the younger visitors, however not always) will remain to dance and celebration and revel into the morning hours. Eventually, breakfast will be supplied and everyone will go the home of crash.

Why do you require activities for such a reception? You desire to keep people entertained through the nighttime hours, you want to keep them at the reception and not let them provide in to driving house to sleep and crash and you desire to supply them with a real celebration.

That activity must take place throughout the more standard night hours, so those not intending to remain all night can leave. If you're figured out to keep your guests all night, you could hold one activity back with the hope it will keep guests in the home longer.

Depending upon your guest list, you may hold back on the father-daughter dance up until after midnight, or you could save a few toasts for the late night hours. In any event, having some other enjoyable occasions is a great idea.

As guests start to fade, bring in a piñata, which you can find formed like a wedding event ring, a bridal dress or a champagne flute. Have the Disc Jockey let and play a perky tune everyone have a chance at the piñata. When the piñata breaks, everybody can enjoy a taste of sweet candy or can enjoy some silly little carnival game or toy.

People who stay for the period of the wedding are going to require a rest. This gives everyone an opportunity to sit down and relax and also gives the DJ an opportunity to sit, have a rest and invigorate for the next round.

If guests ant to sit down and relax, they can do so on the mattresses and still be part of the activity while resting. If it's been a long day and someone needs to rest, those reception space chairs do not seem the most comfy. If the reception is inside, think about offering big pillows for guests to sit on or develop a corner with inflatable mattresses and lots of material.
