  The essentials you need for a wedding reception are:

  1. A spouse with whom you have recently gone through a legitimate marriage ceremony or (if and only if marriage is not legally possible) a commitment ceremony. A reception should be within four weeks, eight weeks if there’s a good reason (deployment, illness, etc.). Any longer than that and you should call it a party.

  2. Food appropriate to what a reasonable guest would expect at that time of day. That means that if your reception is at noon, you provide lunch: if it’s after 4:30 PM, you provide dinner. 2:00 is the perfect time for a cake-and-punch reception.

  3. Hospitality. That means that the guests don’t pay for anything and are made to feel wanted and cherished. The reception area has to be clean, tidy, and fresh-smelling (but not necessarily perfumed) and it must be heated and/or cooled adequately.

  4. Safety. If you have disabled friends or family at your wedding (even if the disability is extreme old age), your reception hall *and the washrooms* must be accessible. If you hire a hall, you must make sure in advance that it meets the fire code. The caterers must be licensed and must have proper heating and refrigeration facilities. If you choose to invite someone with a severe allergy, you must accommodate them. And so on.

  Everything else – favors, centerpieces, alcohol, etc., etc. – is optional.

  A disco ball! Cool lights and DJ! You can do that dollar dance thing, and that thing where your husband goes under your dress to get that band off your leg. You could throw your flowers behind you, whoever catches it is supposedly the one to get married next…
  I saw this one couple that made their first dance really cool, they choreographed to the song,I like Big ***** and I cannot lie. And it was really funny, it started off as a slow song, then the DJ pretended to turn off, like they were having technical difficulties. But then the song changed and they started dancing. It was hilarious.
  Feed eachother the first peice of cake, like literally shove it into eachother’s faces, or you could be neat about it, whichever.
  Have a daddy daughter song on that you and your father can dance to, play afew fun songs like the chicken dance.

  Hope this helped! I love wedding receptions!
