During your wedding, you can entertain your guests with fun and engaging activities. A variety of entertainment options will add rhythm to your special day. Discover our different ideas to get started right away.
Activities to be organized during the cocktail hour
After the emotional wedding ceremony, guests will enjoy refreshments at the cocktail reception. Appetizers and fun activities will add to the enjoyment of this moment of sharing, laughter, and love.
It is strongly recommended to choose small activities that won't overwhelm the cocktail hour. This way, your guests can both enjoy themselves and mingle with your family and friends.
Two main activities punctuate the cocktail hour: photos and the bouquet toss. Guests will come around to take pictures of this beautiful day. Towards the end of this first part of the celebration, the bride will toss her bouquet. You can choose the traditional toss or opt for a more modern one with ribbons.
Wooden games, giant board games like Mikado, dominoes, chess, as well as stands for making temporary tattoos, adding glitter to makeup or personalizing favorite shoes can be offered to your guests.
Entertainment during the meal
The activities organized during the meal are usually prepared by the best man, maid of honor, and bridesmaids. The wait between courses can be enlivened with the exchange of wedding vows, speeches, or even retrospective videos of your lives. Little games for you, like "Who's More Like You?", or for your guests, such as the 12 Months Game, can add fun to your wedding meal.
The cutting of the wedding cake is also a small activity that many guests look forward to.
It's also possible to offer various activities that guests can do independently, either alone or in groups. Here are a few ideas: a to-do list with challenges to complete at each table, a photo challenge, or even a wedding newsletter with fun games related to your love story.
A tumultuous wedding evening
Your wedding evening begins gently with your first dance as a married couple. Whether it's simple or more sophisticated, your dance will delight your guests and officially open the ball. The dance floor will then be filled with your guests until the end of the night.
Of course, other activities can add rhythm to the evening of the big day. Why not organize a karaoke night, a music quiz, or even a giant game of musical chairs? Fun little games that will entertain your guests in a joyful and lighthearted atmosphere.
To conclude this beautiful wedding day, numerous lanterns will illuminate the sky. Each guest can release a lantern in a gesture of love. This activity is a lovely way to bring your guests together one last time before the end of this wonderful day.
Activities throughout the day
Throughout the day, your guests will be able to capture precious moments to cherish. Several small activities can be made available to them in different locations within the reception hall for the big day.
Beautiful photos of your guests can be taken using a photo booth. Each guest can leave with a small photo taken with their loved ones.
Guests will be able to leave you a short message filled with love and happiness, accompanied or not by a small photo, in a guest book provided for them.
The golden phone works in the same way as the guest book. However, instead of writing a note, guests can leave an audio message on a voicemail box.
Numerous activities can entertain your guests throughout your wedding day. Will you be able to choose from all these original ideas? Whichever ones you choose, your guests are sure to have a great time.
