Do you hate glass clinking at weddings?

Kissing is a part of any wedding right? If you dislike (the idea of) your guests clinking their glasses for you and your husband to “kiss” on cue, then read on for some creative alternatives to this noisy tradition. Let your MC (DJ or Band) know that you want a unique guest interaction for bridal couple kissing at the reception:

1. Ask tables to sing a “love song” or a song that has the brides or grooms name in it.

2. Have a kissing demonstration—a couple must come up to the head table and “show” the bride and groom how to “properly” kiss.

3. Have your wedding planner, catering staff, or a trusted friend hide Hershey’s Kisses in the reception room prior to the reception. As guests find the kisses, they bring them to the bride and groom for them to kiss.

4. Ask guests to make a donation to charity.

5. Come up with questions about the bride and groom. Print them on slips of paper and have guests select a question from a basket or box. If they answer the question correctly, then the bride and groom kiss.

6. Have guests share advice for the marriage.

Of course, there are all sorts of variations and other ideas to create guest interaction with the bride and groom "kissing." Skies the limit...you could be kissing all night so have fun!!
