While traditional ‘meet & greet’ arrangements for a wedding reception have a charm of their own, we suggest you take it up a notch by incorporating your unique tastes and quirks into your wedding reception party. Think quirky cocktail bars and even crazier send-off surprises, here are 6 creative ways in which you can make your wedding reception a joyous affair to remember!
Wedding Reception Idea 1: Add A Personal Touch To The Decor
Florals and foliage for the reception decor is quite passe! Whether you want to incorporate a Bollywood themed reception decor or include a nightclub type setting at your reception party, make sure it reflects your personal style as a couple. You could even do it up with pictures of your proposal or love quotes that are close to you both. A chalkboard with your special dates marked out works great as a photobooth backdrop!
Wedding Reception Idea 2: Have A Quirky Food And Bar Setup
What is a wedding reception without some yummy food and cocktails? Instead of having a longish buffet setting, we suggest you try creative food trucks and live stations. Get a quirky bar setup at the reception décor that serves cocktails themed. Don’t forget to customize a menu with some bride & groom favorites.

Wedding Reception Idea 3: Organize A Sit-Down Dinner
A western concept that is slowly making its way to Indian wedding reception décor too! Instead of a buffet or a round table set-up, have an intimate sit-down dinner. It’s a great way to personally chat with your guests and thank them. Plus, you can also do the whole ‘thank you’ speech thing!
Wedding Reception Idea 4: Organize Some Interactive Games
Cut short on your ‘raising the toast’ moments with some fun and games instead. Games such as dumb charades and I Spy are really popular at most reception party and will keep your guests involved in the wedding reception as opposed to being silent spectators. You can even have a cousin of yours conducting some fun interactive games or the good old ‘how well do you know your partner’ session with you and your hubby.

What can be better than your guests sharing your wedding reception behind-the-scenes and fun moments through live updates on their social media feeds?

Wedding Reception Idea 6:Send-Off Surprises!
Make your guests feel extra special by sending them off with a special surprise. And no, we are not only talking about wedding favors here.
