My fiance wants to have a Harley Davidson theme for our wedding reception. Any ideas, suggestions??? And no, we cannot have a bike in the reception hall :-)

This is a great idea. You can have everyone dress like a biker for starters. Hey, jeans are the most comfortable attire. If you won't have a bike in the reception hall, the bride and groom can ride to church and go to the reception hall on a Harley. If you can rent one with a sidecar or a trike, that would be crazy.
I'm sure you can find glasses and chinaware with the Harley logo. You can have little motorcycles for favors. You can have Harley Wings and motorcycle posters as part of the decoration. Red roses would be flower of choice. Log onto the Harley website and access their merchandising page for what is available with their logo on it.
Most importantly, when you decide on the music, you just have to play "Born To Be Wild" by Steppenwolf more than once during the reception. Led Zeppelin, Santana and the Stones would also be good choices. Don't forget to serve Jack Daniels whiskey.
Being that Harley Davidsons are the King of all motorcycles, the decor could be done to high standards. Again, I think this is such a novel idea. Just run with it.

I would go to the Harley Davidson shop online and get a few ideas, such as posters and maybe have all the guest wear a harley teashirts, vests or hats. Use the Harley Davidson colors for all your decorations. For example flowers for the tables could be White, Orange and a Black bow. Same with decorations throughout the hall. Just keep it mostly White and Orange with a touch of Black. Also approipriate music for the wedding like "Born to be Wild" . You can make most of it on your own, or shop ebay and save some money for some Harley items and gifts for guest as well as the Harley Store itself. Most of all have fun and best of luck to the both of you.

At www.customweddingsolutions.com/caketops.html you can get a cake top topper that has a bride and groom and motorcycle.
You could also have your bridal party enter the reception to "Born to ride" or something similar. You could also have your groomsmen wear Harley tshirts under their tuxes and when you do the garter they could come up in the tshirts. (you could surprise your new hubby with this)
I wouldn't go too over the top with though. Orange and black are more halloween colors than wedding colors.
Also, if you email them they will try to help you find other items. They helped my friend tie in her fiance's love of Chris Craft Boats to their reception.
Good Luck :-)

Put little Harley toy bikes on the tables...have the wedding party wear leather...along with the 2 of you, if ya want...Have the cake made into a Harley theme...have the music be like biker stuff...oooohhh...this sounds fun, can I help? And I don't even like Harley stuff...LOL
And make sure you ride away in the Harley...or you could also have the wedding party arrive to the reception on a bunch of Hogs! : )
Here are some songs you could use maybe:
"Born To Ride", "Lonesome Highway", "My Buddy Moose", "Highway Bound", "Ride On", "Biker Boy", & "Ridin On My Harley" are a mix of traditional blues rock, southern rock, country rock and out and out rock n roll!

I like the idea of the motorcycle groom's cake. Not everyone is going to appreciate the Harley theme, so I would suggest keeping it very low-key. You want your wedding to be remembered for how happy you two were and your new beginning. Don't let the Harley theme overshadow that.

First, it is your wedding and you can totally have whatever theme you want. Your wedding is all about the vows and the commitment. The recpetion is time to celebrate!
Second, FUN! Your reception will be all about it.
A cake topper with characatures of the two of you on a Harley.
Rent a Harley and have your engagement pictures taken on it or with it.
You could print out stickers with the Harley emblem on them and put them on your favors.
Rent one of those children's rides that are often outside of a grocery store or Toys R' Us. Get one in the shape of a motorcycle. I bet people would LOVE the photo-op.
Use shades of orange, silver, and black.

You're serious? I have been to a "Harley" wedding once. It's tacky. Don't do it.
If he wants Harley intifgrated into the reception get him a motorcycle shaped groom's cake.

Sounds fun! Try adding as many motorcycle and Harley accessories as you can.

Favors on the tables that are motorcyles, or Harley logo pins.
Decorations: Colors, orange and black . Flames, eagels, and the bar and shield. Leather and chrome.
Have a lot of "biker" music, like Lynyrd Skynyrd, George Thorogood, Steppenwolf, etc... Lots of rock, plenty of songs about the road. They make CD's that are cmpletations that you could use.

You could even get Harley wedding rings!

Just browse around your local Harley store and see what they've got for cheap party favors and decorations. Incorperate them where you can. You could even have do-rags and sunglass for fun.
Good Luck and Have Fun!
