Most weddings are pretty similar and boring. Guests come and wait for the bride and groom to make vows before God and Father asks them to accept each other as life partners. As they do so, the food gets ready. It is served to the guests. After that there is a small dance party as an entertainment for the guests. The guests leave with nice wishes even gifts for the couple. That is what happens on most of the weddings and it looks pretty boring to me. Have a look at the following great ideas from Star Photo Booth on how to make your wedding stand out and make it more exciting:
- Use thousands of petals to blow out of the cannons across the ceremony site at the time both the bride and the groom accept each other as life partners.
- Give guests a place to take a break from the dance party and food by creating a space, with chairs, couches and pillows, at your reception.
- Use hot air balloons or yellow school buses with the name of the couple written in the either for guest transportation. It will be a big surprise for the guests.
- Serve pre-ceremony cocktails like juices or iced-teas to the guests. It will refresh them for the upcoming events of the wedding.
- Set up a make-your-own-flower station for the guests.
- Set up a photo booth for everyone on the guest list so that the guests can have memorable pictures and know that the wedding party is not special only for the wedding couple. Make sure to send them a copy of their photo after the party.
- Think beyond the typical guest book. Create a jigsaw puzzle of your photo and let guests sign each piece. Or put out silver trays with engraving pens so guests can carve a lasting message on a useful keepsake for you.
- Create a sitting chart which shows the exact seating positions of the guests and the relationships between the guests sitting next to each other.
- Have fresh flower petals dropped from the ceiling when the couple starts to dance to make this moment a big one for both the persons.
- There must be a video confessional booth where everyone must be allowed to make confessions.
- Use creative lighting instead of the boring colors.
- Make beautifully scripted table numbers, monogrammed cocktail napkins, and even bathroom-door labels that read “ladies” and “gents.”
- Just when everyone thinks the fun is winding down, liven up the party with late-night nibbles that will leave everyone ready for an after-party.
- Select the most spicy foods like BBQ so that everyone can have fun making what they are going to eat.
- Have a great after party arranged at which there should be a big surprise for all the guests like an all night concert or a movie night and no guest should be aware of this big after party plan.
- Make a plan for your wedding that no guest leave without a compliment for the party you arranged.
- To have a record of the day, get your guests involved with live tweets, Facebook status or Instagram feed.
