Default Wedding Reception Ideas?

Hey gang, I'm getting married in November and my fiance is obsessed with the idea that I'm going to surprise her with something at the reception.

Pretty sure she's been watching too many Youtube videos. The ones where the guests and bridal party have some song planned out and choreographed.

At first I thought she was joking. Now I realize that she's about 80% serious and will be disappointed if nothing happens. God forbid, you know, getting married was enough

Anyhow, anyone have any ideas for a nice reception surprise for my soon to be bride? I'm at a loss.

Cheers!

Coming to CP for suggestions may have been a poor choice.

Run . . . I hear Mexico is nice at this time of year.

Or bungie from the roof like the villianous punks in the next Karate kid.

Or

Punch out your father in law after the obligatory welcome to the family speech and screech "I own your a%% now DAD!!!"

Surprise

Boy no pressure eh? Putting together a wedding reception is stressful enough without having to come up with something like that.

She wants a surprise eh? I say take a 20 yard backwards stumbling fall into the wedding cake.

That should do it.

Or:

Have the cake makers bake a smaller cake inside the original cake, with a small hollow between the two of them. A cake in a cake! What a surprise.

Can you sing? At least passably well?
No big prep, no choregraphy, just you singing her a song. Even if you suck, she will likely be impressed by your courage.

Why do people have to do the elaberate setups for the receptions when there's so much unintentional comedy anyways.

Some old person will request the chicken dance and think its hilarious

The drunken best man accidentily admits to plowing the bride at some point in the past.

The whole garter ceremony becomes lame because the bride becomes self concious and puts the garter around her ankle

The dad curses at the people over using the free bar services.

The single drunken cousin or uncle hits on a waitress.

Young kids get fed alcohol by the older people until their stumbling drunk and puking everywhere.

The bride distributes the really horrible pieces of wedding cake

The groom is a little too enthusiastic about the wedding cake thing and smashes his bride in the face with it.

A drunken and lonely bridesmaid hooks up with a really undesirable guy and ends up in therapy for year.

the undesirable guy spends 5 years recounting that one conquest while exchanging white guy high fives.

The caterers start sending out half empty platters because they're smoking grass in the kitchen and they got the munchies.

CapatainCrunch spends most of his time in the kitchen.

One of the mother in laws gets overly hammered and starts flirting and grabbing a%%.

Then the Chicken dance starts up again.

If America's Funniest Home Videos has taught me anything, reception surprises usually involve someone falling into the cake, falling into a pool, or getting hit in the groin.

Have you considered something with ferrets or weasels? Does she like ferrets or weasels?

If she likes weasels (for example), you could maybe do something like hiring about 50 weasels, and have them in cages just outside the room. Then, during the reception, have someone release all the weasels into the room.

I am certain your new bride will give you a surprised look and an "Oh, you!" look before shaking her head at your shenanigans. It will be a perfect start to the marriage, and you can explain that it symbolizes the chaos and inevitable blood that marriage represents. Women dig symbolism.

But a lot of this turns on whether your fiancee likes weasels. I suppose you could choose other animals if you like them better. Elephants would be pretty kick ass too, I think. Or rhinos! Rhinos would be special because there are only like 50 of them in the world. Any woman would appreciate that.

Let me know if you need 50 weasels though. I know a guy.

Exactly. She's gone mental.

don't do anything at the reception at all and then when the night is over and you retire to your matrimonial bed kiss her on the cheek, fart, roll over and pass out.

That'll surprise the hell out of her, and she'll love you forever and ever.

On a side note I never knew that you are supposed to get a wedding gift for your wife from yourself? I thought giving her the use of my body and wallet for the rest of my life was enough, whodathunk!

I wont say if I have been to a wedding where this has happened before or not but I will jsut throw it out there.

Hire an actress to "crash" the wedding posing a jealous ex, then in full view of everyone proclaim your love for your wife and tell this woman its never going to happen, she will walk/run off and you will look awesome. It makes it more believeable if the actress is much hotter than your wife but not so hot that it would be inconceivable that you would say no to her and yes to your wife.

The only people the wiser are you and your buddy or buddies that know about the ruse.

You could have just said "this has never happened but it's what I want at my wedding."

Yeah and then the drunken bridesmaids beat her to a pulp and pull all of her hair out.

Meanwhile your brides screams that her wedding is ruined and dashes to the hotel room with her mom and dad tailing after her.

Meanwhile your drunken uncle offers to drive the actress home and she's never heard from again but the trunk of his car smells like slightly rotten hamburger.
