Q. My fiancé and I are so over the chocolate fountain idea, but we’re intrigued by the idea of having some novelty at our reception. Any ideas for fun items we could rent to spice up the reception?
A. Rental companies such as St. Paul’s Midway Party Rental offer a plethora of ideas to keep your guests entertained. If you’re planning to have a sports-themed wedding, think hot dog, pretzel or even nacho chip warmers, with nearby condiment dispensers, all starting at less than $50 each. Or consider a gaming section with a roulette wheel ($29), and blackjack, craps or poker table ($25-$45 per table). Even if your reception steers clear of themes, consider offering a cotton-candy machine (starting at $45 per machine); it’s infinitely more fun than a chocolate fountain, and the orbs of spun pastel candy that your guests create will be a playful and oh-so-pretty addition to the festivities.
