    i want to have a luncheon /cocktail reception at 1 pm, something simple and fun, our friends arent the dancing type , so a dj would be a waste , but how do i keep things fun for hrs?

    Are you having an indoor or outdoor reception?  If it's an outdoor reception, lawn games are always fun!  A full on DJ may be a waste of you don't think people will dance, but you'll still want to have music of some sort as background noise... and you never know, you may get some people dancing!

    Agree with ktdid23 - lawn games are tons of fun.  If indoors, music is a definite.  You may not want to spring for a DJ, but an iPod may work (or pre-made CDs even).  To keep people entertained, how about a trivia quiz?  It could be interesting questions about the area, your families, you, even other guests, depending on how well people know one another.

    i was definitely thinking an ipod stereo since we have a great obne we use for parties but i also dont want it to seem too "tacky" or "cheap"?maybe a simple small band?
