Bride And Groom Kissing At The Reception

We`re looking for something different to do at my daughters wedding reception when our guests want the bride and groom to kiss, we know about the clinking glasses, and have heard about singing love songs and drawing names of guests to kiss too? Any other different and unique ideas?

I just went to a wedding where they put a tiny silver bell at each place setting for the whole kissing thing. It was a really cute way of doing it!

I`ve found two new ideas for this. One is "A kiss for a kiss." This is the poem used:

The tradition is to clink, to get us to kiss,
We don`t like that, so we thought of this...

Call on your experience, wisdom and talent
Show us how it`s done and our try will be gallant!

And, the other is to sing a song with the word "Love" in it to get the couple to kiss. The poem I found for it is:

The bride and groom are newlyweds
And we think that it has gone to their heads.
So, if you clank the glasses so,
We know their heads will only grow.
So, instead we ask for one little thing,
We request that you only sing.
A line with the word Love in it.
And this will make the couple kiss.

I hope that helps!

At my sisters wedding she put a card on every table with a picture of an animal on it and in order for them to kiss the whole table had to act like the animal. It was really cute. Also you could try putting, someone comes up and has to get a hole in one.
