A small detail: Share your love of coffee

Are you a coffee lover? Set up an after dinner coffee bar. Have baristas make a variety of drinks in different flavors with all types of toppings like whipped cream and caramel. The best time to serve a cup of Joe is the last two hours of your reception. *Photo courtesy of PrettyChicky.

A small detail: Kick off your shoes

Have a basket of flip-flops in varying sizes with a sign that says "kick off your heels and enjoy some dancing." Your female guests will be thankful. *Photo courtesy of LIWeddings.

A small detail: Use a family recipe

Personalize your reception menu by asking the caterer to whip up a family dish such as your mother's lasagna or your grandmother's famous chocolate chip cookies. Give out the family recipe to your guests as a favor. *Photo courtesy of Elizabeth Anne Designs.

A small detail: Give your guests champagne

Get the celebration started by having the waiters hand out glasses of champagne to your guests when they arrive at your reception. This will ensure that everyone has a glass of bubbly for the pending toasts. *Photo courtesy of istockphoto.
