Your wedding reception should represent to you the best party you've ever attended as well as the best party you'll probably EVER attend! Your primary goal is to make sure that you have things just the way you want them and that you'll literally have the time of your life!
But what's that you say? You and your intended are dedicated Classic Rock fans, but the average age of your guests will be over 50?
You've already reached the first level of "compromise", your key word for wedding reception planning! Your vision of your primary goal will immediately start to pale as you begin to think about your secondary (and pretty much equal) goal: Keeping your guests happy, comfortable and entertained.

The following is a concise guide to compromise while planning your reception.
THEME
Now, the average person feels, and rightfully so, that the occasion of a marriage is more than enough "theme" for the event and that many people nowadays are getting carried away with the so-called theme party. However, by adding an overriding element to every aspect of your wedding day can lend an air of excitement to any event and can make your day extra special by personalizing the components.
Here are some of the more appealing of the recent trends:
COLOR
The "All White" wedding is definitely "in" for 2002/2003. By color-coordinating everything from the carnations on the tuxes, to the table settings, to the bridal party gowns, to the table settings, right down to the frosting on the cake, you can give your wedding a magical feeling. The white is the latest trend, but by no means are you limited to that. Your favorite color or color combination is a great way to put your mark on the day. As always, however, you must remain within the boundaries of good taste. If your favorite colors are jet black and fire engine red, you may want to rethink things! White is perfect.It is the traditional color of a wedding and super easy to coordinate. Beyond that, any light color - pastels - is an easy mark to hit. Wouldn't you wish your wedding to look more like a watercolor painting than a NASCAR event?
-ETHNICITY
The traditional ethnic wedding, from the clothing down to the music and food is regaining popularity after a period of decline. What could be more exciting than the Greek wedding, more enticing than an Italian wedding, more exotic than a Hawaiian wedding? Don't be afraid to wear your ethnicity proudly. You don't have to go overboard; you can apply elements of the traditional ethnic events to each of the pieces of your puzzle. Get a band or DJ who plays a healthy sampling of Canadian quadrilles, but also plays the other music commonly heard at receptions. Serve Greek stuffed grape leaves as one course on your traditional chicken dinner menu. Have your ring bearer and flower girl wear traditional costume from the country of your heritage. Or if you think your families and guests would enjoy it, then by all means go for a full-fledged event in the traditional ethnic style.
-SEASONAL/GEOGRAPHICAL
Planning your color scheme, menu and events to suit the time of year and/or location of your wedding is by all means a great way to make everything more intimate. If you're in a seaside area, choose a venue with a panoramic ocean view and encourage your guest to dress accordingly, especially if there's a deck available for mingling or dancing. Serve fish as an appetizer or one of the courses. If it's mid-winter, find a hall with a working fireplace and serve hot cider during the cocktail hour.
You get the picture - you can really have a lot of fun with this idea and really put a fun stamp on the proceedings.
