As I was reading Brides Magazine on my way to Vegas last month I was really excited to come across a section with ideas for making your wedding unique and fun. 🙂 I am all about weddings that have personality and that you enjoy being a part of. So I thought I would share some of them with my own ideas and spin…..
*Set up a relay course OR scavenger hunt before the wedding for guests while they wait OR after the wedding ceremony for cocktail hour
*Pre-Write personal notes to your wedding guests OR get a photo silly/fun photo with them at cocktail hour
*Have a photobooth of some kind at cocktail hour OR lawn games for people to play
*When you write your wedding program–make it fun filled with fun facts and factoids about the two of you/bridal party AND/OR have a reading printed in the program so that everyone can get involved and read along
*Have a fun departure–sparklers, wish lanterns, fireworks etc. OR do something different for the entrance….enough of the DJ announcing you in—how can you spice it up and make it completely your own?
*Do two sets of vows–the serious ones (hopefully personalized) and a mad libs version that will get everyone laughing
*begin cocktail hour before the ceremony–and end the ceremony with a toast to the bride and groom OR have people wave ribbon wands and enjoy a really fun song for the recessional
*if you do decide on a first look why not walk down the isle with your guy? OR you walk down the isle before the bridesmaids like the princess did in the UK
*have a slideshow playing before the ceremony so people have something to enjoy OR put together funny movie clips both of yourselves together and of your favorite funny movies
