Of course, the actual wedding is the most important part of your big day but your guests will expect fun, and plenty of it.
We are not merely talking about a live band or DJ, and a dance floor as this should be as standard, but something far more creative. When the drinks start flowing, your guests want something enjoyable to do, so why not consider the four following wedding activities?
Play Some Lawn Games
No, we are not talking bowls or the like. Think more along the lines of giant board games such as Jenga, Connect 4 or Checkers. Take to the sunshine after your wedding and let your guests have fun as they sip on their (likely to be, alcoholic drinks. Drunk Jenga, in particular, is a blast! Of course, you will need a lawn for this particular activity, or at least a hall with plenty of space.
Guess the Wedding Traditions
If your wedding has a multicultural guest list, then you could try a guessing game with prizes. For example Forbes has an excellent list of rarely known wedding traditions most people have not heard about. You can hire some actors or ask some friends to help and get costumes. Then reenact the wedding traditions from different cultures to see if anyone can guess the correct traditions.
A Photo Scavenger Hunt
Offer a worthy prize and draw up a long list of photographs you wish guests to take. It could be anything such as a photo of ‘somebody eating cake’, ‘a guest who is worse for wear’, or ‘ a child dancing’. Whoever presents is able to gather the most correct photographs wins the prize. Another reason why this activity is so great is that you get tons of pictures taken on your special day. Ask them to share on social media and you will have memories that last forever.
See Who of Your Friends Know the Most About You
As family members and your closest friends, you would expect that your wedding guests know everything about you and your dear new wife/husband? Why not test this out with some ‘Bride and Groom’ trivia? Think up a long list of questions containing stuff only they would know and place them in envelopes. Have them waiting for them at the dinner tables and get them to fill in their answers. It will amuse you when you find out who knows the most about each of you!
Try Your Luck with a Wedding Casino
Another popular activity in modern weddings is to combine it with a bit of casino fun. Through the right wedding casino hire company, you can enjoy hours of fun with your guests before and after the wedding at the blackjack and roulette tables. All for fun, the organisers will personalise the casino chips and play money and award prizes to the guests with the most chips at the end of play. You can imagine the banter at the tables as you and your guests go head-to-head to see who has the best casino skills!
Wedding Karaoke
Okay, so this might not be the most original of ideas but in terms of cost versus entertainment value, it is a great one. With a few drinks inside of them, your guests will love getting up on stage to demonstrate their singing abilities (or lack of). You get a cheap but effective form of wedding activity and they get endless hours of fun. For added humour, record it for show once the hangovers have cleared.
Conclusion
Your special day should be memorable for all kind of reasons and this includes the wedding activities you organise. Your guests are there to witness the big occasion and will no doubt enjoy themselves. However, you want to make sure they do by providing some fun wedding activities. We have suggested 5 above but if you put your mind to it, you could come up with some great ideas of your own. You should also look into hiring wedding equipment yourself and not buying it.
