25 fun & fabulous wedding ideas Your wedding may be a celebration of love and commitment, but it's also the biggest party you'll probably ever throw. So pull out all the stops and make it a night to remember. We consulted the country's top wedding experts to find out their best ideas for throwing a fun, fabulous reception.

First Impressions

1. Create a buzz even before the party starts. with festive wedding invitations. 'Bold-hued paper and ink, in colors like fuchsia and turquoise, signal a hot night ahead,' says Mindy Weiss, a Los Angeles-based party planner. You could also get disco-flashy, with crystal appliqués or glittery silver ribbon bows.

Cocktail, Anyone?

2. A hip signature drink immediately sets the tone of your affair. As soon as the party begins, have waiters circulate with trays of glasses filled with a special concoction. Try raspberry-flavored Long Island Iced Teas, served with sugarcane 'swizzle sticks.' Ginger-infused martinis and mint-garnished mojitos are also swanky choices right now, says Lauri Dorman of Paula LeDuc Fine Catering, in San Francisco . Make sure the drinks are served in statement-making vessels, like oversized tumblers or colored martini glasses.

3. Plan creative presentations. 'People eat with their eyes first,' says Dorman, so make hors d'oeuvres look as enticing as they taste. Tempt palates with sophisticated bites served in startling ways.
