Lots of alcohol.
I would say short turn around between ceremony and reception. I always hated waiting really late to see the bride and groom off... around 9:30/10:00 I think is a good time. After then people start getting pretty wasted and start leaving.... Play good "Dance" music And, oh yeah, lots of alcohol! Everyone MUST Poison themselves with ALCOHOL!!!!!

Rules for my upcoming wedding:
1.) NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED! Too many people believe poisoning themselves and causing a scene is the way to have a good time! It's embarrassing and pathetic! Also if guests have a problem with it then it shows me where their priorities are and I'd rather them not come! 2.) Ceremony and Reception at the same location = no wait time for guests! 3.) Keep it fun with a non-traditional and memorable first dance and a cute funfetti wedding cake. 4.) Activities to keep kids out of trouble 5.) Interesting, alive, and swimming center pieces! We're having fancy guppies in ours! 6.) An AMAZING live band!!! Djs are so boring!!! 7.) Not only can attendants sit with their guests, but they chose their dresses too! Powered by Yahoo Answers

Yes, no gap between ceremony and reception, and make sure that while you're taking photos, your guests have something to eat and drink. I once sat at a wedding for 2 hours with no food or drink while the photos were taken.
Also, the best weddings I've been to haven't had a sit down dinner. They had appetizer buffets, and open bars. As for the music, it's more fun for everyone if you play more classic music (not classical, but songs everyone knows), like oldies or even country music. Your grandmother doesn't want to hear Akon's latest single. If your wedding is small enough (50 or less), let anyone who wishes to make a toast. Make sure your head table isn't too far away from the guests. If you have a huge dance floor, put the table on a side so that it's 90 degrees away from where the guests are seated, not on the other side of the dance floor. You want to be available to your guests. Even if you don't do a dollar dance, make sure the bride and groom get around and dance with anybody who wants to. As for favors, make is something people will use or eat. A candle holder is nice, but once you get it home it's just another piece of junk. I did personalized fortune cookies in take-out boxes. It was less than 25 cents per guest. Powered by Yahoo Answers

1. Good food and good alcohol. If the bride is wearing a $2000 dress and is serving appetizers for food and having a cash bar I see where her priorities are. It shows me that the guests are a priority if the bride and groom are serving a heavy, delicious, barbecue dinner with all the beer, wine, and rum punch you can drink but it's on her grandparent's farm and she wore a sundress. Basically, don't cut corners at your guest's expense just so you can have the "fancy" reception you always dreamed of.
2. Not being "forced" to do something that isn't fun for the entire group. Meaning no real dress code (other than not wearing white), no playing games, not attending on a holiday where I would have plans. 3. When the entire emphasis of the night isn't just "look at the bride and groom." Yes, it's the couple's day, that still doesn't mean that it's "fun" to watch a 30 min powerpoint presentation, listen to 40 minutes of speeches, and/or watch 8 different "special" dances. EDIT: oohh, ooooh, oooohhhh.... I definitely agree with having something for the guests to do when they're waiting for the bride and groom to arrive. Powered by Yahoo Answers

No drama...everything gets left at the door when they come in, lots of dancing and activities at the reception. Don't let there be a lull otherwise people will get bored. Have alcohol, but not too much. You want people to feel comfortable and relaxed, but no drunken embarrasing moments.

a fun wedding would be doing away with the 1-2 hour gap between ceremony and reception due to photographers requiring hours and hours of poses while the guests are told to bugger off or stand there doing nothing.
I know brides have such an issue with not letting the groom see their dress until they walk down the aisle, but come on-- take the 400 photos BEFORE the ceremony, then afterward, have a proper receiving line and welcome your guests. Don't make guests wait for hours while you, the groom, and all the family members are sequestered somewhere doing photos. Yeah I know bla bla bla It's my day bla bla do what I want Powered by Yahoo Answers
