Overnight Wedding Reception Ideas

Brides who plan super long wedding receptions running through night and into the morning need activities for those long night time hours.





In such cases the wedding is held easily in the evening and reception follows. Many guests disappear by about midnight and the remaining younger guests continue to dance and party and revel into the early morning hours. After a break fast at some point every one will go home to crash.

These activities are absolutely essential to keep guests entertained through out the night. You want to retain them at the reception and not return home to crash and sleep. You want to provide them with a real party if they stay at the reception during the night. They got what they deserve for staying at night.

Plan and be fairly organized about the activities consult your DJ and leave all your activities to him/her to keep the schedule properly. Don’t cut the cake in the middle of the night. It should be done during the more traditional evening hours. Guests who do not want to stay for the night may go. You can keep one activity pending hoping to keep the guests in the house longer.

Depending upon the number of guests you can holdup the father daughter dance till midnight or save a few toasts for the late night hours. You can have some other fun items or events.

As the guests dwindle bring in a wedding ring shaped piñata a bridal dress or a champagne flute. Fill it with a variety of goodies, candy, and also silly toys founding the carnival section of the party store. The DJ plays a spirited song and every one has a chance at the finale. This can be done on the dance floor and all can have a swing at it. When the finale breaks all can enjoy the taste of sweet candy or some silly little carnival game or toy.

For providing rest for the guests have a photo presentation or video viewing. It can also be a power point photo presentation or a video of photos. This can be done between 2 or 3 A.M for about 30 to 45 minutes. People and the DJ can rejuvenate themselves for the next round.

Non activity is another way of relaxation for guests according to a few brides. Mattresses can be provided on which guests revive, rest and still watch the proceedings. For indoor reception large pillows for guests can be provided to sit on. Guests can chat on and still be part of the fun. They can chat and catch up with other guests and be ready for partying after rejuvenation.
