What are you having for the ending of your wedding reception ?
I know some people have fireworks or lanterns but my venue will not allow this.

So Im intreasted in what everyone else is having -as Im sure there are some good ideas- espcailly moneysaving ones . x

Didn't have anything specific, just 'our' song which we kinda considered wasn't entirely suitable for a first dance - Alice Cooper's Poison

I've never actually been to a wedding where they've had a "finale" after the reception other than a "final dance" by the bride & groom.

thinking of going for something like this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-x-SKY-LANTERNS-KHOOM-FAY-WISH-BALLOONS-WHITE-/170458533416?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Home_Garden_Celebrations_Occasions_ET&hash=item27b01ece28

although it depends on the weather but the hotel we have is right beside the water so i think if it's a clear night and not raining this would look really pretty and if we wanted to we can get the guests to write messages on the lanterns.

i'm still not 100% sure if we're going to do it but i really like the idea and will probably only get a few for me and the OH and some of the family to release.

No, neither have I.

Our final dance will be to the Proclaimers, 500 miles :rotfl:

That, and then hopefully the hokey cokey when we get up to our hotel room :D

Meant to say, fireworks, for a decent display are sooo expensive and I wouldn't entertain lanterns at the end of the night, not when people have been drinking, no way.

probably won't be at the end of the night anyway as so many people would be heading home, probably some time after the first few dances, before the evening buffet.

But the OP is talking about what people are having right at the end of the night, hence my thoughts on the lanterns.

we'll be having the traditional 'loch lomond' by Runrig to finish
