The point of a wedding is that you are marrying your soul mate, your best friend, your other half. You have asked your family and closest friends to witness the two of you professing your love for one another. It's one of the best and most special days of your life. You've been pronounced husband and wife. The bride has been kissed and now it's time to PARTY!!!! I am going to give you some ideas and tips on how to have a fun and enjoyable wedding reception.
Have Some Surprise Entertainment & Other Activities
Your guests come to your reception knowing that they will be entertained by a DJ and dancing. Give them some surprise entertainment to switch it up! There are so many different things you can do. Here is a short list of some great ideas:
Have Entertainment & Activities For The Kids Too
We can't forget about keeping the kids entertained. I know you're thinking who is going to watch the kids while they are being entertained. You could always hire professional childcare. Or a cheaper route may be to just suggest guests hire a sitter for the night. Here is a list of entertainment & activities:

I like the idea of bringing the casino to you, but not for a wedding. I feel like this would take away from the big day and cause too much of a distraction. This would be a great idea for a bachelor party or stag and doe. I like the idea for the kids having an activity table or designated room for them to run around.

while I don't oppose the idea of marriage, it's not currently on my mind. So these are some good tips for me to add to the backburner. I like the idea of providing guests with flip flops for dancing, that's very considerate and definitely a good idea as I like to dress up in heels and dance so very practical and convenient. I also like having the kids inside with wii or xbox or something but in my opinion hiring kids entertainment might be a bit much, it's about the bride and groom not the kids, they can entertain themselves or be good guests, or have a room with a movie or game for them, which you suggested which I like, great ideas!
