Fun Food Ideas For Wedding Reception

The details of your wedding do not end with your dress, your favors or your decor. Do not forget to serve food in style during your wedding reception! I'm sure your guests will swoon over food and drinks that are served in the most special way, and which reminds them of you and your groom. Check out these inspirations and talk to your caterer soon. Some of these you can actually DIY so read on.

1. Lemonade in bottles with white straw. It's time to collect those milk bottles! 

2. Burgers and beer served this way will surely impress your guests.

3. Cake pops! Both kids and adults will love these.

4. Who says you can't have a popcorn bar at your wedding reception?

5. Or a cookie bar?

6. Keep them refreshed with this juice bar. Cucumber water, anyone?

Creative Table Numbers

The table setup during the reception is one of the most neglected detail of a wedding. Most of the time, brides simply leave it to the caterers to put a table number that matches the motif or color scheme of the wedding. Here are some unique and creative ideas that you can draw inspiration from for your table numbers! Some of these are DIY so you can add another dash of your personal touch to your big day.

This one used a mini chalkboard on a stand, and table names instead of numbers.

Water bottles as table numbers. My favorite! I should've thought of this...

DIY Photobooth Ideas for Outdoor Weddings

It can be quite a challenge to set up a photo booth especially if the wedding reception is held outdoors, such as in a garden, ranch or beach. Still, I see it as a great opportunity to be even more creative and unique! Check out these examples of photo booth backdrop / setup, which are mostly DIY. They're practical and one-of-a-kind. 

1. Tie a burlap or an off-white canvas cloth between trees or stands, and don't forget to hang mini flags for some character. To make it unique, you can also try hang polaroids of you and your fiance!

2. Hang ribbons to for your backdrop. They will look like drapes. For texture, make sure you cut the ribbons in different lengths and hang beads or strings. Of course, use colored ribbons that match the theme of your wedding.

3. This will need a little bit more effort to pull of. You will need a couch, a small table, some pillows and cloths. Throw in some books, a camera, old chest or any items that match your wedding theme. This one is my favorite!

4. It's the cutest one, to hang a frame that looks like a polaroid frame. Very easy to pull off!

Boho Themed Wedding Reception

I am thinking of putting something like this on a corner of our reception area. It's bohemian in style and feel, plus it uses a bike! The idea is for guests to be able to hang out on this corner when they feel like sitting on a table and chair is too old school. Plus, placing this pool side will give a warm, and laid back feel. Now, where to find those nice carpets?

Pretty Juice Jars for Reception

Having a backyard wedding? This is a lovely idea or alternative for a juice bar. I'm thinking of having two or three of these jars on my wedding day, to refresh my guests before and after the ceremony, since it will be held in the afternoon. Where to get these lovely jars, though? Gotta start the hunt now!

Tiny Beach Umbrella Place Holders

Here another great wedding idea for my summer themed wedding. These are tiny beach umbrellas with name tags to act as their place holders. I like it because they are cheap and easy to pull off. I simply need to look for sand where I can place the little umbrellas and I should be all set. This is gonna be exciting!

Wine Glasses for Centerpiece

It is another elegant way to decorate your tables! Wine glasses placed upside down, flowers inside the glass and candled on top of it. It could possibly go well with my summer themed wedding, but I wonder if a sunflower and lemon or orange fruit would fit inside? Gotta try it first!

Romantic Mason Jars

I've been seeing a lot of mason jars on photos as part of decors of wedding receptions and ceremonies. I'd love to have some of those on my wedding day! They're elegant but simple. My idea is to fill one fourth of the jar with white sand and place a candle on top of the sand. Easy? We'll see!

Toast to the Couple

Brides who are into the tiniest details like me would appreciate this. It would be cute to use these during the couple's toast! This is not for my minimalist wedding, but I like the idea. What do you think?

She's Always Right

I am sure that grooms already know this even before they proposed to their ladies! If so, well that makes him Mr. Right. This is a cute wedding idea, and although I'm not going to do this for my wedding, it made me smile today!

Hanging Candlelights Over Dinner

It's such a lovely ambiance to have in a wedding as you celebrate with family and friends--hanging candle lights. Although I'm not quite sure how they made it (must have required professional help) so DIY brides like me may find it difficult to recreate. Still, nothing should stop a creative bride from having a lovely reception venue!
