My mom and I got into a heated discussion (just under an argument) about having dancing at the reception. Neither FI and I are really into dancing. We are having a very small wedding with probably no more than 40 guests (family and our closest friends). I think that it would be kind of strange to have dancing for such a small group of people. Also, FI and I were either going to go with a restaurant reception or some kind of unique space (like a museum). We wanted something short and sweet like a cocktail reception with heavy apps, so we're talking about 3 hours for the reception.
My mom says a dance free reception will be boring. Thoughts? Has anyone ever been to a dance free reception? Or is anyone else having a dance free reception?
P.S. before it comes up, FI and I are paying for the wedding ourselves. I know it is ultimately our decision. I'm just curious if others share my mother's opinions.
