I understand how this may seem tacky, but it's fun and that's all I care about.

This is huge up here, but the bride and groom usually ask people not to do it too much during dinner.
I went to wedding in Sudbury (Northern Ontario) this summer and they don't do that up there. Their reason was, people drink too much and glasses get broken. Anyway, what they had instead was a bowl of rose petals at the front and written on the rose petals were tasks. In order to get the bride and groom to kiss, the guests had to go up to the front and perform the task on the rose petal they got. They had to answer either a trivia question, or do a dance or sing a song, or tell a joke, etc. If they did not answer the question right or perform the task to the satisfaction of the bride and groom, the bride and groom did not kiss.
I thought it was a great idea. Not only did it make things fun, the bride and groom could actually eat their meal.
