Must-Haves: Do-Not-Play: TELL VENDORS YOU SAW THEIR AD IN TODAY’S BRIDE | 75 We all love a good Twist and Shout or Cotton-Eye Joe, but when it comes to your reception, there are 4 songs that you’ll remem- ber forever. Choosing these sentimental songs can be intimidat- ing, so we’ve chosen our top five faves for each. Entrance • Can’t Stop the Feeling by Justin Timberlake • I Got a Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas • The Way You Make Me Feel by Michael Jackson • Walk This Way by Aerosmith • Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon First Dance • Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis • Stand by Me by Ben E.

If you or your fiancé aren’t big fans of dancing, then come up with a different way to celebrate! Here’s a list of some of my favorite alternative reception ideas. • A morning ceremony with a celebratory brunch is a great way to enjoy time with your friends and family. • Offering yard games like bean-bag toss, ladder golf, giant Jenga, bocce ball, and croquet are fun and unique options to entertain your guests. • Consider renting old arcade games like Pac Man or a pinball machine, or set up a gaming console forFortnitebattles,GuitarHerotournaments, and epic Mario Kart racing. • A murder mystery dinner party, karaoke night, or a luau barbeque are all great ways to celebrate with your loved ones while keeping things a little more casual.
