Sure, it will be a lot of work, but it can also be fun. The wedding professionals goal is to provide you with some insightful tips to reduce the load. There will be several transitions through this day. It is imperative that you listen with a keen ear when suggestions are offered. 

Generally after the toast, comes dinner time. One of the most overlooked aspects of a reception is the music and guest/family seating arrangements. I've had couples who requested songs for the "Party Time" that would cater to their elder guest. No offense, but this may kill the WHOLE mood. I would suggest romantic/older classics to be played during dinner time. Older classics, such as motown artists suits many. The volume is not overbearing and it promotes a calm/relaxing atmosphere. Memorable classics generally sets the tone as the night progress.. Secondly, other couples (out of their kind hearts) place their parents/grandparents near the front. This is where experience comes in to play. Can you imagine your grandmother sitting next to the speakers throughout the entire reception? Pro Tip... Communicate with your DJ/wedding planner on the best places to seat your family/guest during the reception. Lastly, take this time to visit family/guests and even ask one of your Brides Maids to pass out party favors (Now you are hands free-to hug everyone)! Now your photographer can capture some of the most candid memories of the night. Now that's food for thought!
