Ways to Have Fun at Wedding

Remember how I said "You will have fun if your guests have fun." Don't let yourself be limited by the traditional dancing only rule...although I can't imagine not dancing ;)

Here are some things I will be doing to ensure guests have fun (hopefully they like them.)

1. Photobooth with props instead of guest book. (more on photobooths to come)
2. Popsicles instead of cockatil hour. (the kids will enjoy it too!)
3. Activity sheets for the kids (and kids at heart.) My fiance is in design mode. I will post it when he finishes.
4. Instead of clinking classes, guests must serenade us with a love song for us to smooch. Sure to bring laughter.
5. Board games, coloring pages, and playing cards for those who don't enjoy dancing (or get worn out.)
6. Special dances including one honoring all married couples and a dance contest with us as the judges!

Here are some great ideas suggested by 2000 Dollar Wedding:
1. Cooking S'mores around a campfire
2. Soaking in a hot-tub
3. Playing volleyball
4. Offering a swing dance lesson
5. Playing board games (e.g., Jenga, Scrabble, Uno)
6. Playing horseshoes
7. Taking pictures in a photobooth
8. Playing lawn games (e.g., Bocce Ball, Croquet, Badminton, Horseshoes, etc.)
9. Jumping on pogo sticks
10. Having a hula-hooping contest
11. Doing a scavenger hunt
12. Playing BINGO
13. Hosting a talent show
14. Hiring a fortune teller, palm reader, etc.
15. Playing middle school games (e.g., tetherball, kickball, dodgeball, hopscotch, four-square, etc.)
16. Playing ping-pong or pool
17. Competing for prizes (e.g., potato sack race, bean-bag toss, etc.)
18. Making big bubbles
19. Playing card games (e.g., poker, rummy, hearts, uno)
20. Playing Frisbee golf
21. Playing charades or pictionary
22. Renting an air-hocking table
23. Offering chair massages
24. Busting open a pinata
25. Eating fondue
26. Making crafts at a craft table
27. Renting a juke-box
28. Playing casino games
29. Sidewalk chalk
30. Graffiti wall
31. Hosting a parade
32. (Having wedding at children's museum)


Wow if most weddings incorporated some of these...how much more fun would they be!
