A wedding reception is a great way for you to meet your new relatives. Give them a chance to get to know you by talking to them as if you have known them all your life. Chances are good that you will be able to see the entire guest list but you won't remember most afterwards.

At your wedding reception, you will want to have a formal introduction done by your master of ceremonies, DJ or your band leader. They should introduce everyone as they enter the room that is in the wedding party. This way, everyone knows who is who!

A wedding reception can have a variety of different activities, but generally will include a meal, introductions as well as dancing. If you plan to do other things or stray from this area, consider what your guests will feel about this and how well it allows them to fit in.
