Hi, I called a wedding a few years ago with an English Country dance theme that might help, since there is less swinging which might be tough both on the grass and with newbees. Sellingers Round worked really well, and could be applied to the contra approach, just figures and chorus and keep your partner. A big circle dance. I feel that circles work better at weddings since everyone is together. Even simple mixers in circles might work well. Just give the folks a good time and try not to proselytize too much.
