Wanna dance...by IPod?

Many toy between the idea of having a DJ or a band at their reception.  Why just limit your choice to those two when there is a new alternative to music at your reception.  Many people are now setting up their IPOD to play the music they want at their reception.  This is a great way to go if the option is available to you.  You would be able to pick your own play list and make sure the songs you don't want played remain that way (like the chicken dance).  You could even set the order of which you want the songs to be played.
 
One downfall to this system is that you would not have the ability for those attending your reception to make requests unless you had someone manning the IPOD, which kind of defeats the purpose.  Make sure the space at which you are holding your reception has the capabilities to either plug your IPOD into or plug in your IPOD base to the speakers at the site.  You don’t want to get to the location and find out that you don’t have the ability to run your music.  Yikes.

 

A DJ or a band are still the two most common sources of reception entertainment, and they are still great options, however; IPOD is a rising fad that is cheap and extremely easy!
