Since you don't want a cookie cutter mold wedding, the important thing is to be as creative as you can for fun wedding reception ideas that will highlight your one-of-a-kind personality. The following are a few fun ideas for a wedding reception:
Carnival Theme: A carnival wedding is one of the coolest unique outdoor wedding ideas. This is one wedding reception which guests will not forget for a long time to come! For this theme, you need to make sure your location is outdoors, a large garden would be ideal. To invite the guests, instead of regular wedding invitations go for carnival tickets! You can use a rainbow of colors to make a fun, colorful, summery atmosphere. And of course, including a ferris wheel, popcorn machines, clown entertainment, fortune tellers, lemonade stands etc. will give a complete carnival look to your unconventional and fun wedding reception! Decorate the venue with lots of balloons in different colors. And since this is an unconventional theme, instead of the regular three tiered cake, you can have pies. The important thing is to be as creative as possible in the wedding planning.
Medieval Theme: Who wouldn't want to be a king and queen for a day? Then why not make your wedding reception unique by having a medieval theme? If you and your partner always have been fascinated by the medieval times, then this is a perfect opportunity to make this as your fun wedding reception. To create a medieval theme, a very important element is the location. You have the option of old castles, courtyards, village squares or even forests. For decoration use a lot of wedding flowers everywhere.
Another thing to keep in mind is for the wedding dresses need to have more of blue instead of white, as blue was considered a symbol of purity. Also, you will be surprised to know that medieval men were very fond of dressing up, so this is the time when you would need to wear your finest clothing with accessories like fur, belts, embroidery made of silver and gold thread. And don't forget the traditional medieval feast with turkey, lamb, quail etc. on wooden plates. Definitely one of the most fun wedding reception ideas!
Beach Wedding: A beach wedding is the perfect choice for fun wedding reception ideas for a couple who love the natural beautiful blue of the ocean, white sand and breezy grasses. To make sure that your guests enjoy the wedding reception, ask them to get their swimming costumes along and also ask them to take off their shoes on arrival to make it a casual and fun wedding reception. Let the raw beauty of the days setting dictate your decor with straw runners, bamboo candles and dressed up beach umbrellas in palm covers.
Play off the built in palette provided by the sand, sea and grass by accenting sunset hues of yellow and red for a beautiful beach wedding. The color of the sky will intensify as evening falls, adding to the romantic air. To make it more fun, try and arrange activities like scuba diving or snorkeling. For the food, instead of the usual dishes try and include the element of fun with foods such as catfish tacos if you want to go for a Mexican theme or for an Italian twist, try a rustic grilled pizza topped with shaved potatoes and pear tomatoes and for dessert, echoing the airiness of the sea foam is an orange soufflé! And instead of taking off in a traditional getaway car, wave "sea" you later from a hired launch!
These were just a few fun wedding reception ideas. You can select any of the above, or use your creativity to come up with something totally unique, and something that neither you nor your guests will forget for a long time. And don't forget to take a lot of photographs, for these are the cherished memories that you will always remember!
