A Wedding reception after-party can get boring pretty fast. These tricks and activities will keep your guests entertained until the party is over.
Wedding after-party is simply the party that happens after the reception has ended. The vote of thanks doesn’t have to end the event. In fact, the vote of thanks should signify that the kids can now go home while the celebration of love continues.
If you are using a wedding planner for your event, then it’s easy to get ideas and suggestions to pick from for your wedding reception after-party but if you are planning it yourself, you need these tips below.
1. Choose a theme
The theme will help you plan better for costumes, games and other activities you plan to have. Choose a theme that works well with your overarching wedding plan.
2. Have fun costumes and props available
It’s unrealistic to expect your guests to go back home to change for the after party. So have costumes like masks, glasses or caps available for them to use. Just make sure it is in-line with the theme you chose.

3. The invitation should be different from that of the wedding
Send out a different invitation for your after party so guests that have kids can plan ahead. Don’t spring the surprise on them. If you are planning an after-party, you better let your guests know.

4. Use a different venue if possible
If you have a list of selected people you especially want to have at your after-party, then you probably need to consider using a different venue from your reception venue. That will help you minimize crowd and entry access.
5. Introduce Games
Engage your guests in different games like dance competitions.
This is your perfect reception party planning guide.
