5 Tips for Putting the “Wow” Factor into Your Wedding Day Guest Experience
Creating a wow factor for your guests is important. It’s the difference between a memorable experience and one that people will forget. Here are 5 tips to create an interactive experience that will wow your guests:
1) Create an Interactive Timeline of Your Couple’s Journey Together
We all know the “in sickness and in health” part of marriage vows but what happens when one partner becomes seriously ill? What if your spouse falls victim to a debilitating disease such as ALS and is no longer able to work? In these circumstances, creating an interactive timeline can be a great way to chronicle the couple’s journey together.
2) Offer Guests the Chance to Share Memories and Photos with You
Guest books are a great way to capture and remember the memories of your loved ones. They’re also an excellent choice if you want to share photos with friends and family who couldn’t make it to the event.
3) Make Them Feel Involved in Your Special Day
The wedding day is a magical time for the bride and groom, but it can also be a stressful time for guests. You want to make sure that your guests feel involved in the ceremony and that they don’t feel like they’re just waiting around.
4) Create a Unique Theme for Your Wedding Reception
Here are some suggestions for a unique theme for your wedding reception.
–Party with a Purpose: instead of having a cocktail hour, have an hour set aside for silent auction items.
–Tea Party: serve cake, iced tea and sandwiches on fine china with tiny tea cups and delicate teapots. Metal candle holders would be a nice decoration.
–Swiss Chalet: serve the reception in front of a backdrop resembling the Swiss Alps. The backdrop can be decorated with pine trees, snow and skiers.
–Anachronism: the reception takes place in a different time period than that of the wedding. For example, the wedding is in the 1970s and the reception is set in colonial times.
–Winter Wonderland: decorate with frosted Christmas trees and lights, or use winter-themed flowers and centerpiece vases to create a festive ambiance.
–Themed: a unique theme can be selected, such as “Los Angeles” or “Paris.”
5) Offer Wedding Guests Opportunities to Celebrate with You
If you’re planning a wedding, you might be struggling to come up with ways to include your guests’ well wishes in the reception. You’re not alone.
4 Unique Ways to Make Your Guests Feel Special at Your Engagement Party
- Guest of honor:
The guest of honor is, without a doubt, the most special person at the party. They are usually the one who gets to cut the cake and be the first to open presents. Make them feel like royalty with a special gift or an extra-special dance with you as their partner.
- Guest book:
If you have a guest book on your table, be sure to ask your guests for their signatures. It’s always nice to know that they were there and enjoyed themselves at your party! If you don’t have a guest book, try making one out of construction paper and markers or decorate an old photo album with stickers and glittery tape.
- Memories:
You can get a professional photographer to take pictures and create a photo album.
- Theme-based Engagement Party:
You can also go for a theme-based engagement party. For example, if you’re getting married in the winter, you can have an ice skating party with penguin costumes for the guests.
