Dance Floor Fun

Three hundred 8 inch sticks with connectors covers 100 guests at two or three each over the night. Have someone crack them right before the DJ hands them out, and keep them for the dance floor rather than the send-off, where they are too dim to read in photos.

One stick per guest, so a hundred lights go up when the DJ drops the beat. Give someone the job of pulling the battery tabs during dinner and let the DJ hand them out with a song rather than leaving them in a bin by the door.

White frames that guests write their name on with a black paint pen, so the dance floor photographs as one crowd. Buy for about 70 percent of adult guests, and write on the top edge or one arm, never the lens.

Another option to White Sunglasses, 24 Pack, for a different style or budget.

LED ribbon wands for a night exit. Many venues ban real sparklers; these work anywhere and photograph well.

A dozen different hats in one box, brought out for the last hour when the floor is full and guests are ready to pick a persona. Add feather boas in one palette colour for the cheapest extra pieces; they shed, so keep them off the cake table.

A dozen plain hats in one shade on a hat wall get adopted the moment the floor opens and show up in every photo. Buy white, 12 to 24 depending on the crowd, and expect guests to wear them home.

Four guitars, six microphones, a saxophone and a keyboard turn the anthem into an air band and pull the shy uncles onto the floor. Inflate them with a small pump during dinner and hand them to the band leader of the table that is already dancing.

A 16 inch mirror ball over the dance floor is the cheapest way to make a plain room look like a party, and the disco ball moment shows up in most galleries now. It needs a rigging point the venue approves, a rotating motor, and one narrow light aimed at it; ask the DJ whether they bring a pin spot.

The motor that turns the ball, with a built-in light, a remote, and a 16 foot power cable, rated for balls up to 16 inches. Hang it from the same rigging point as the ball and test the speed before guests arrive; slow is what looks good in photos.

Pairs with the mirror ball: it turns balls from 4 to 16 inches.

The second sunglasses look of the moment, for the wedding party and the after-party outfit. Choose one palette colour rather than the rainbow assortment, and buy one per party member plus a dozen extras, not one per guest.

Blank speech bubbles on sticks that guests write their own line on, which ages better than mustaches on sticks. Keep a piece of chalk and a damp cloth at the booth; the humour stays PG because grandparents will read it.

Hand a few out for the first dance or the exit. Better outdoors, and check with the venue.

The bubble guns take four AA batteries each and the photo clip lights three, and neither comes with them. Forty-eight covers the lot with spares for the day.

You'll also need AA batteries: each bubble gun takes four.

A plug-in machine on the DJ side runs itself for an outdoor first dance or the exit and gives you the dancing-in-bubbles photo. Buy a gallon of solution with it, and keep it outdoors or at the exit: soap on a dance floor is a slip hazard.

A bubble machine empties its tank in about an hour. One bottle of concentrate makes about two and a half gallons, enough for a send-off and the dance floor.

You'll also need bubble solution.

Six handheld cannons make the moment when the music peaks and white confetti drops on the dance floor or over the exit. Rice paper breaks down in rain, which is what most venues mean by biodegradable; many venues still charge a cleanup fee or ban confetti outright, so get written permission first.
