I'm going to be a bridesmaid in my oldest friend's wedding in October, and our other friend (there were 3 of us) and I want to do something sweet, funny, and kinda zany at the wedding reception for her. Anyone have any good stories or ideas of cool stuff you've seen done at a wedding reception by the oldest pals to honor the bride/groom?

No ideas, but I'll start to actively think about it!
I would also like to see some ideas as I'm going to a wedding on June 24th, so it might be useful

I am not sure if this in the same vein but in Ireland small tricks are usually played on the bride and groom. At myself and Dh's wedding my sis who was chief bridesmaid and the best man decorated our room before we went up at 5 am. They had candles lit, rose petals on the bed, a bottle of bubbly on ice with a dish of strawberries and chocolate sauce, they had the large spa bath filled with bubbles. It was fabulous until we climbed into bed which they had filled with salt and sugar and I do mean filled. We ended up sleeping on the sofas in the room. But before we got into the bed we were ready to saint them. So that would be a lovely idea.
Also at some of my friends weddings we did a slide show of photos with songs that they liked around the time that the pics were taken. We just had it on in a loop at the drinks reception.
Also if you are in any way musical then to sing or play a song during the reception would be lovely. I was at a friends wedding last year where the brides BFF sang there first dance song for them.

Thanks, Pearl and Ziv! I was thinking photos or a song, too. I could sing but am no superstar, haha. My other friend absolutely won't do anything that would remotely embarrass herself, while I revel in looking like an idiot at weddings. Maybe I will get the band's info and see if they could play something, and see about a slideshow too. Both were done at my sister's wedding and were lovely.
OMG I would have died with all the salt/sugar in the bed, that is a good one!!!!! (2002) (2005) from 1st marriage. TTC since Aug 2010- Dx: low sperm count and 1% normal sperm. We are giving up and moving on with a baby-free life.
