One of the most obvious is a breakfast the day following the wedding reception with your close friends and family. This is a time for everyone to touch base with each other, check in on how everyone did and perhaps share memories of the night before.  You can meet your friends and family at a relatives house or restaurant.

One popular tradition for a post wedding party is to have the bride and groom open the previous night’s presents the day after the wedding.  This can be a easy gathering of friends and family or you can turn the present opening into an all-out activity, where each item is opened, demonstrated or displayed and discussed in great detail.  You might even Considermaking a game out of the present opening. Everyone has to guess what’s in each gift prior to its being opened. (Of course, people cannot guess on their on gifts.) Someone can be in charge of keeping a tally and whoever gets the most right, wins a small prize.

How about planing a scrapbook party after the wedding. You will not have pics back from the photographer, but you can scrapbook many other wedding events, such as pre-wedding events like manicures, celebrations or candid photos taken by wedding guests at the reception. More than being focused on the photos, this activity gives the ladies a chance toreflect on the events of the wedding, laugh at all the fun ties and journal.

Some brides and grooms plan activities the day after the wedding that are designed to help everyone calm down, relax and unwind after what has likely been a busy weekend. In this light, you can plan a picnic at the park and bring along games to play. You might pack a football, a volleyball net or items to play baseball. You might bring along water guns or a dartboard. Whatever it is, the idea here is to have some fun and blow off steam.

Post Wedding celebrations are a great way to getting all set for your honeymoon. It often helps wind down the wedding celebrations in a way that lets everyone gently move onto the next phase of your wedding without the crash and burn that often happens on the wedding day. Plan something fun and you’ll have wonderful memories to share for the rest of your life.

The wedding dance is also the time where the anticipation of months and years of preparation culminates, effectively centering the two of you in a harmonious moment.  Your wedding dance is the one time during your wedding reception that you and your spouse are truly together within the crowd. All eyes may be on you both but this is your moment together and no one else in the room should matter at this moment. Your wedding dance is one of the few memories of your wedding that you will have forever.

For some, especially the men, the wedding dance can be of and in itself a point of discomfort. This is in part due to some people’s discomfort with dancing, making that occasion a disconcerting one. It’s for this reason that many couples are now taking wedding dance lessons in order to make sure that nothing goes wrong during their wedding dance. Many teachers often suggestthat you use the shoes you will be wearing for your wedding as well as a skirt that’s very similar to your wedding dress in order to actually get an honest feel for how you will be dancing on your wedding day. It is amazing how much of a difference the height of your shoes and the length of your skirt or train can make when it comes to dancing. These classes are very important for couples that truly want to have the fairy tale wedding experience though not necessarily practical for couples that are already working at the end of their budget constraints.Although most couples opt to taking dance lessons at a dance school, due to time constraints, many chooseto purchase instructional DVDs to help them dance. It would be great fun to practice your wedding dance together before the large night and it is a great way to have fun together as a couple even after the large night.

For the more spontaneous and courageous, you can always just wing it by picking  a song you both love, a dance you like and have fun without worrying about getting it perfect. You are beginning your new life together as a couple and who really needs the pressure of dancing perfect, right? It is also your day and that’s one thing that far too few brides really realize when getting caught up in the pressure of creating the perfect wedding within a limited budget.

Whichever method you choose, try your ideal to have fun and make your wedding dance the special moment that it is. It will bring you many years of great pleasure knowing that you and your significant other have shared this important moment, to symbolize your love of one another.

A few thingsto take into account include things like will this be a formal wedding with a sit-down dinner? If so, you might want to replace the formal rehearsal dinner with an informal barbecue dinner or picnic.  Keep everyone occupied during the long weekend requires an understanding of people’s needs, factoring in the age of the guests. The key is to factor in as many activities that can be enjoyed by many age groups. For example, will the wedding be near a lake or resort? How about planning a day at the lake on Saturday, filled with pre-wedding activities like swimming races and beach volleyball, or perhaps a scavenger hunt. If you’re going to include a scavenger hunt into the wedding festivities, be sure to make a list of meaningful items should be drawn up, and guests placed in two teams. The list should include things like  “take a picture with the bride and groom”. You will have to tailor the scavenger hunt list to the location of the wedding and the energy of the guests who will be participating.  You can even offer lavish prizes for the team that wins the scavenger hunt, such as gift certificates or gourmet food and gift baskets.

It’s important that during the wedding weekend, planners keep in mind that the weekend itself might beHigh-priced for some guests, particularly those who had to fly in for the occasion and many of the activities should be free, or inexpensive. If they’re more expensive, and planned for the entire group, they should be paid for by either the bride and groom or their families.

Remember to keep the weekend activities fun, and adequate for all age groups, by providing everyone with something they can enjoy. Weekend wedding parties are fun and will be remembered for many years as a great time had by all.
