    Assuming this is before you sit down for the breakfast, one novel idea might be to provide nothing and force your guests to actually talk to each other

    (I'm going through the same planning ATM...)

    Re: Novelty Ideas for Wedding Reception??

    disposable cameras, and an envelope to send them back to you in.. pre paid.. this is risky but very funny!

    And a labelled blank CD-R with an envelope pre paid to send you any digital photo's people take.....several for each table.

    And a selection of red wigs.

    just cos it makes the disposable camera shots better... long term

    Provide an assortment of random clothes and props, then tell people they have to dress up as characters from different sci-fi films for the starter, main course and desert. Tie in with cameras.

    Make it a masquerade/venetian ball? Everyone's going to be dressed up anyway, so adding a few masks and a little atmosphere.
