the dance
Performed at formal balls for
hundreds of years, the guests of
honour complete a first dance to
encourage others to join them on the
dance floor. Now it’s an opportunity
to share a special moment with your
partner, taking the first of many
steps as a married couple.
There’s no need to choreograph a
showstopping routine, but if you’re
not a fan of the spotlight, a live band,
DJ, comedian or karaoke station are
great ways to kick off the post-dinner
party instead. You can also reverse
the order of events and hold an
official ‘Last Dance’, where all of your
family and friends are invited to the
floor for one final song before your
getaway. All anyone will be thinking
about is enjoying the moment with
you!
And, to make sure you don’t miss out
on some one-on-one time, consider
organising a private room for some
drinks and canapés which you and
your partner can enjoy before the
reception.
For some, a wedding isn’t a wedding
without these traditions, and for
others, they are just a sample of
the many great activities you can
plan for your reception. So what’s
the only thing you must do? Have
the confidence to do your day
differently!
