| Do a little of both. I am in the same situation. We are having it a formal dinner but some fun stuff involved. We are having a candy buffet and a root beer float toast instead of champagne! So just think outisde the box and see if you can accomodate both ideas. |

| I don't really think you have to just pick one. You can do both and have a reception that is a mix of both fun and elegant. Personally, if you go with all your "fun and different" ideas you run the risk of having your wedding feel more like an amusement park or take away from the actual "wedding" vibe. I think you should incorporate both ideas in order to have a wedding that not only bespeaks romantic and elegant, but also fun and whimisical. *If you are having separate cocktail hours and dinner, mix up the food. Add some bite size mini-burgers for the cocktail hour served in passed trays by the waiters. For the dinner, if it's sit down keep it something simpler and a little more elegant. If it's a buffet, you have the option of mixing up the foods and choosing different things.*Go ahead and have a chocolate fondue fountain if it's in your budget as part of the dessert portion of your ceremony--surround it with marshmallows and fruit and cookies. Next to it, think of maybe putting out a candy buffet. Provide small cellophane bags for the guests and a nice assortment of candies--m&m's in pink (if that's your color), skittles, etc...*Instead of a traditional dessert, try serving little cones of cotton candy to each guest instead. I've seen this done and it's great. It's enough for one person and can be done tastefully.*Mix up your linens. Use a crisp, white tablecloth and add a second one on top of it to accent it in something like a hot pink. *Keep your table setting simple and elegant, but go with something a little more fun and whimsical as your centerpiece.*At the end of your reception, go ahead and have them roll out a popcorn machine. Guests can take little bags of popcorn home with them to snack on.There are many things you can do to incorporate both themes into your wedding. |

| Have a romantic elegant wedding and then at the reception... it is time to party and have fun!! My brother got married and it was beautiful and traditional and then when the reception came it was wild and fun. ... the dj used all kinds of different props for people to use when dancing and it was wild! I remembered that wedding!! |

| Romantic. Save the theme park for a birthday party. Weddings should be special not another day at an amusement park. Not to mention people probably won't forget it, but that might not be in a good way, a carnival theme might not sit right especially if you have conseritave family and it might become a joke. You can have a fun reception but still have it formal. I've always had a blast at receptions, make sure there is good music and some booze and people will have a good time. Plus you don't want to look back at your wedding photos and have it look like a 8 year olds birthday party. |
