Karaoke at my wedding: is this a terrible idea?

My partner and many of our friends adore karaoke. We’ve talked about having karaoke for half an hour to forty five minutes of our reception (our reception will be five hours total including a cocktail “hour”). We’ve mentioned this to a few people and have gotten mixed reviews. Some people adore it, others can’t keep their eyebrows from reaching their hairline. Any thoughts on wedding karaoke?

Eat a private dinner BEFORE your reception

Julia and Brad were super duper smart about making sure they had time to eat at their reception: they ate BEFORE it! Here’s what they did (and their surprise gift from the caterers!).

Play a “stand up/sit down” game at your wedding reception

Jamie and Evan had planned a big outdoor game-fest, but some nasty, rainy weather pushed them indoors. The good thing was that they had an indoor elimination game planned with a really special prize.
