Whether you use one or 10 of them, we hope you will find at least a few new and creative ideas to make your reception even more fabulous.

Skip the huge head table at the reception, share an intimate dinner for two, or share a small table with your parents or children.

Ask your caterer to prepare a late night snack for the bride and groom. As more often than not you are too busy with guests when dinner is served.

Photo ideas could include; build a pyramid, group table shot, funniest pose, a guest kissing the bartender or grandparents holding hands.

Don't like the disposable cameras but still want to get memories captured by your guests? Set up a docking station so guests can load their photos to your computer on the spot.

Offer your guests one or two signature cocktails that you've personalized with a cute name and your wedding colors.

Want the expensive look of calligraphy for your invitations without the cost? Calligraphic fonts that look like the real thing are readily available. Free font sources: searchfreefonts.com, highfonts.com, dafont.com
