Making Up Again!

Most wedding receptions include dancing. It is the custom for the father of the bride to dance with the bride, followed by the wedded couple’s first dance. Since you can let your hair down during this occasion, it doesn’t matter whether you are a guest, or a member of the wedding party.

Chicken Dance
Would you like to add some excitement to the dance floor? Exciting activities are lined up and they will be well-received. Get your guests to let their hair down, and you can try a game of the”chicken dance”. If you love to have some fun and laughter at your party, and want the dance floor to be filled, you may want to try this.

Put numbers under the chairs. Get the guests to look under their chairs when the number is announced. Just repeat the numbers at different tables based on your seating plan. Write down numbers starting from one to ten.

Before the number is announced, the guests would check under their seats to find out the numbers they had been assigned to. Post-it notes and masking tape will be suitable. All the ‘5’s would have to go to the dance floor and do the chicken dance. This is great if you wish to let your guests mingle with other guests, especially if you have many singles at your wedding. This is a great activity if many of your guests are not acquainted with others.

Multiplication
Another way to get people onto the dance floor is to get the wedding group to invite guests onto the dance floor. After a short dance, each guest who is already at the dance floor will have to head out to the tables and bring in one more guest, until all the guests are at the dance floor.

Hire A Dance Teacher
Many brides and grooms learn how to dance so that they can show off their groovy moves. Why not invite the dance teacher to teach simple steps to the crowd? Or if you have a close friend who is great at dancing and willing to help you at your wedding, then ask him or her to do this.

Bringing a dance teacher for the wedding is one activity that has been increasingly popular over the years. As a kind of pre-dance activity, the teacher will teach the guests some basic steps on the dance floor, perhaps teaching a bit of the waltz or, for something modern, some salsa, before the music officially begins and dancing starts.

Having a dance teacher do a bit of teaching not only livens up the reception right from the start, but it gets people out on the dance floor who might otherwise be too self-conscious normally to get out there and let it all hang out. Your guests get to practise first and make all the mistakes before the official dance begins.

These ideas are quite affordable, so if you are on a tight wedding budget, then you can simply use these ideas to get your guests onto the dance floor instead of hiring expensive bands or performers to liven up the mood.
