The Wedding Day decor and all of the rentals are simply there to create a portrait of the couple’s love. But, how can they do that in a way that isn’t “blah” and hasn’t be done a million times before?
Decorative signage
Have booklets made with your love story or important milestones inside. This is also something guests can take home. Or have a map of cities you have visited together with guests’ names on them. Instead of having your tables numbered, name them those same cities, indicating to guests where they should be seated. Are you from Georgia? Use a real peach as your escort card. Stick a flag toothpick with their names and tables. Or do you both like basketball? Use mini basketball hoops. There are so many options here.
interactive games
Lawn games, word search, corn hole, giant jenga, checkers. Fun games during cocktail hour will definitely be a hit with guests. It loosens up the crowd.
Scrap the cake, make an entire dessert bar!
If you are having a wedding in the Fall or Winter, add a hot cocoa or hot chocolate bar to your cocktail hour with all of the good fixings. It adds a warmth and coziness to your day. It is also great for kids.
