Fun Wedding Activities to Entertain Your Guests
Nothing’s more fun than a wedding—period. All your friends and family are in one room, celebrating you and your partner, drinks and food are flowing, and they know they’re all in for a good time. Your guests are going to have a blast no matter what, but you can do a little extra to make sure it’s a day they’ll never forget. Here are some ideas for wedding activities that’ll ensure your wedding is next level.
Crossword Puzzle
Mock up a crossword with clues pertaining to you and your partner that you challenge your guests to complete throughout the reception. Clues can include everything from the couple’s favorite bar to where they had their first date to the city where each of them was born. There are tons of free crossword-building tools online you can use, which you can then personalize with your name and wedding fonts, blow up and frame, and provide dry-erase markers for your guests to fill out.
Photo Booth
Hire a local photo booth company to snap pics of your guests with you and your partner to create cute mementos they can cherish forever. Take it a step further with a fun backdrop and props. Most of these companies will either have an option to print out a photo on the spot, or text/email them right away to your phone.
Games
Everybody loves a game! Put out Jenga or Connect 4 to keep your guests in play mode throughout quieter moments during the wedding—or for when they need a break from hitting the dance floor. You could also put out table games to encourage strangers to mingle and learn more about each other and the married couple.
Custom Temporary Tattoos
Fun (temporary) accessories for your guests are a no-brainer that both kids and adults will love. Go for fun icons, hearts, and classic wedding sayings, or incorporate things you and your partner love. You could even go a step further by getting custom tatts of you, your partner, and your pet(s)’ faces.
Personalized Crackers
Channel the New Year’s Eve tradition at your wedding with crackers personalized with the couple’s names or last names—or an intricate design that matches your wedding theme. They can even double up as party favors if you include a include prize inside, whether it’s custom matches, chapstick, etc. Hand them out for guests to pop after the couple says “I do,” or during the reception for when the married pairs enters or after their first dance.
Piñata
Throw it back to your days of youth with a custom piñata shaped like a heart, wedding ring, or cake, and fill it with candy for guests to enjoy at the end of the night.
