I need advice on 2 things that are totally unrelated!First- I need ideas for the reception.  We aren't doing parent dances, a slideshow, a bouquet/garter toss, etc.  I'm fairly anti-tradition (and very anti-cheesy) when it comes to the reception, we are only doing the first dance b/c I want that and cake cutting b/c FI wants that.  But our DJ suggested having something else later in the evening to break up the dancing in place of the bouquet/garter toss.  He suggested an anniversary dance, but I'm not sure how I feel about that.  Does anyone have other suggestions for reception activities?Second- how many days before the wedding is a good time frame for a bikini wax?

    i didn't do very many traditional things- we did do an "apron dance" later on though to break things up- i'm greek so we kind of combined the greek traditions with it and did it to greek music with some greek circle dancing

    I was at a wedding once where they placed the bride and groom on chairs back to back had them take off their shoes- and the bride held one of hers and one of his, and he held the others. The dj would ask "who" questions and they had to raise the shoe of whoever it was. Like "who does the bills" "who walks the dog" "which one is always late" "who can go the longest without calling the other" "who has the shorter temper" After each question the bride and groom at the same time would raise the shoe of whoever did it, it sounds weird cause i cant think of how to explain it- but it was AWESOME. everyone was laughing through the whole thing!

    I'm also a little anti-tradition so right now we are only doing the cake cutting but to keep people entertained we are also thinking about having a raffle or a quiz about us and giving away the floral arrangements or some other small items.

    I may be slow, but why do you need to do something to break up the dancing? I am not doing a garter toss or parent dance, it seems like every wedding i go to there are so many "tradition" things that there is not enough time to dance. Or maybe i am wild and crazy and a dancing fool.
