The Bridal Party:
During the reception, have your band leader or DJ call the bridal party, two by two, onto the dance floor. Your attendants will love being honored, and your guests will love being formally "introduced." To make the moment even more special, tell the band leader or DJ a little something (ahead of time) about each attendant. For example, "Sarah was Elaine's freshman roommate at NYU. Sarah always has a funny joke ready, makes the best coffee ever, and has been a truly wonderful friend to Elaine for many years."
The Unity Candle Solo:
When the time comes to light your Unity Candle together, let a beautiful and meaningful song underscore the moment. A lovely piece of music will not only express the emotion that will sweep everyone up, it will also help you relax and take your time with this important ritual.
Family Dances:
Your dear old dad might not be the only person who is aching for a dance with you. Choose a special song and bring out all the VIPs in the family: grandparents, parents, siblings; even aunts, uncles and children.
Special Honors
:When families get together, there's always a lot of big news to share. Hopefully, your siblings, cousins, parents and friends are letting you have the spotlight on your wedding day. But why not choose special moments to announce special news? If an engagement has been announced, a baby born, an anniversary celebrated -- why not bring up the key family members and let them share a special dance!
A Bouquet Presentation:
If you like, you can add to or replace the traditional bouquet toss with a bouquet presentation. The DJ or band leader will call married couples, one-by-one onto the floor based on how long they've been married. Those married five years or less will be called onto the floor first, then those married five to ten years, and so on. The couple that has been married the longest is the last to be called, and as a celebration of their long marriage, the bride presents them with the bouquet. Again, make sure your band leader or DJ has all the information they need ahead of time.
