If the custom of clinging glasses gets on your nerves during receptions, there are other ways guests can entice kisses from you and your groom. Each has its own charm and possible drawbacks. None of these work for everyone. Pick one that appeals to you, or create your own.
1. Ring Bells. Place a hand-held bell on each dining table. Choose a collection of bells that sound pleasing, as you’ll be listening to them repeatedly through the night. While you can probably find brass bells at any discount store, those made of glass or silver add a touch of elegance. Tie a colorful ribbon to each.
2. Sing Love Songs. Guests at each table stand up and sing love songs, as they have for years, to prompt the happy couple to kiss. This carries on a lovely tradition but guests are occasionally reluctant.
3. Kiss "this" Way. A guest approaches the head table with his or her significant other, and they demonstrate the way they want the newlyweds to kiss. Be prepared for some outrageous suggestions.
4. Putt for a Kiss. Great for golf enthusiasts! Place a small putting green in front of the head table or on the dance floor. If a guest gets a hole-in-one, then the couple must kiss.
5. Kiss to a Song. For couples who wish to share one long kiss, instead of multiple kisses, the DJ will play “This Kiss” by Faith Hill. The newlyweds will then kiss throughout the entire song. Warning: 3:15 is a LONG time to kiss. If you prefer another song about kissing, your favorite could also be appropriate.
6. Play with Hula Hoops. Even though this may be a bit "cheesy", it can be a big hit! Have three hula hoops ready at the dance floor. To make the newlyweds kiss, your guests have to use the hoops in creative ways while standing, jumping or gyrating on the dance floor. (Most guests are more interested in watching the hula hoop “dancers” than they are in watching you kiss). It can be a total laugh fest and is the perfect diversion during a long, sit-down dinner.
