Cute way to spend time together

Stephanie, on October 14, 2022 at 9:51 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 6
So this was my second marriage and I remembered that at my first, my husband and I didnt spend any time together at our reception. We were both fulfilling obligations to our guests. So for this wedding, I came up with the idea of having my DJ holler out a code word on or about the hour at 7, 8 and 9. Our code word was "holy cow" when my husband and i heard that, we had to immediately excuse ourselves from whomever we were with and find each other. Then we spent 5 or 10 minutes together talking and enjoying watching everything! We didnt tell anybody the plan and I had an envelope with $20 in it to give to the first person who figured it out! A couple people asked about the "holy cow", but nobody figured it out! It was also the ONLY thing my DJ got right!

    I think it was Shannon who said that the Day of Coordinator specifically got the couple together for 30 minutes. That way they could enjoy some time dedicated to each other during the reception. That seems a fantastic way to go. Your idea is really clever though.

    That's a unique way to ensure that you get to spend some time with just you and your new husband! And very cool that you even had a prize ready for the first person to figure it out.


    My day of coordinator setup drinks and appetizers for me and my husband to enjoy during cocktail hour. We got to spend that time together just us, and still got to enjoy the appetizers that everyone else also got to enjoy. The rest of the reception, we spent socializing with guests.

    That’s a great idea. My husband and I had dinner together while our guests were at cocktail hour. It was a quick dinner, but I’m so glad we did that.

    Congratulations on your second chance at love congratulations.gif
    I'm happy that we did spend some time together at our reception to reflect and to kiss and say a few words to each other. Because we were also trying to entertain our guests and making sure they had enough to eat. I'm happy we had our first dance and took that time for one another
