Looking for Fun ideas to do at a Wedding?

I really like the antique typewriter idea!  I had not heard of this before, but something about a couples dance?  The song starts with all couples...who has been married for x amount of years keep dancing, etc etc.  I think it's sweet especially if you accompany it with Adam Sandler's Grow Old with Me song.  \nHave you even seen the movie Mr. Wonderful?  They do some sort of game where they randomly draw guests names and they have to do something or other.  One couple had to sing, one lady had to give up her bra, etc etc.  You'll have to watch it because I can't describe it but it did look like fun.  \nOur guests are receiving lottery tickets as their favor...definitely gives them something to do.\nI think my mom and neighbor are preparing some kind of duet together.  They are hilarious, so whatever it is, it will be entertaining!  \nOur ceremony is small and non religious, so in place of said readings, couples who have been married for several years are going to stand up together and provide some words of wisdom.  \nYou could go way outside the box and veto the cake and have a gourmet sundae bar instead.  Label the items like Godiva Chocolate, etc etc.  If I think of anything else, I will add later!

What about little white boxes or tiny pails of chocolate hearts or other candy, with a little note saying with love from (you & your partner)? (The Conversation Wedding Hearts look like a fun thing to wrap.) Or a white candle wrapped in gold or whatever color theme you have chosen? \n\nYou could put one at each place-setting at dinner, or you could send them out after the wedding with the thank-you cards - easier to organise than distributing them when you are trying to get away yourselves! \n\nThere are some great ideas on the links below, BTW, like personalised wedding-cookies.

It all depends on what kind of party you want...wild and crazy or more low key.  Here are some suggestions.\n\n-bar hopping\n-wine tasting\n-spa day\n-comedy club\n\nWhatever you do, make it fun and embarassing for the bride (it's tradition).  Make her wear a cheap veil and/or custom t-shirt indicating that she is the bride-to-be (you can get these at party stores or online, Ebay is great).  You can also look online for ideas for naughty scavenger hunts for the girls to do if you go out to the bars/clubs.

you should be careful to use something that you won't have to clean up afterwards, your best bet would be bubbles and you can personalize them with colors of the wedding by tying that color thin ribbon around the neck of the bottle.\n\nI have also been to wedding were they release butterflies that is beautiful as well, also a great idea is a balloon launch.. have the guests release their balloons as the couple walks past them..  Good Luck!!!

My wedding coming this September is country themed.  I'm using mason jars with either fresh flowers or floating candles for my centerpieces and my colors are black, white, and pink.  I'm also going to have horse shoes for decorations.  I'm still looking for white wedding boots though.  And if you have can drinks or beer at your wedding you could get a big metal wash tub and fill it with ice and put your drinks in that!   Congratulations!

I am not sure if this is the same thing as a "come and go" event, but we have a very large family and often hold what we call "open houses".  I advise a 2-3 hour time frame for the event.  Refreshments can be very simple, especially if you hold the shower during the afternoon hours of 2-5 or 1-4 since this is after lunch and before dinner.  Use small plates, 6 or 8 inch and provide finger foods - fresh veggies with dip, cut-up fresh fruit, small appetizers such as little quiche or little sausages wrapped around crescent roll dough.  Dessert can be sugar cookies made in hearts with the wedding date or bride and groom's names written on them.  Miniature cupcakes would be cute, too.  Provide something that will "unite" all the guests since they won't all be there at the same time.  Maybe provide a recipe card and a 3x5 card in each guest's invitation.  Have them bring a favorite recipe on the recipe card and some "advice" for the happy couple on the 3x5 card.  Have a pretty basket available to put the card in.  As each guest leaves, give them something small as a momento since you won't be able to do much in the way of games.  Perhaps a small votive candle or a little potpourri wrapped in tulle and ribbon that match the colors of the bride's colors.  After the party, as the bride-to-be unwraps each gift, take a digital or poloroid picture of her with the gift and send it in the thank-you card to the giver.  Make sure everyone has a name tag since the guest list is large.  Another option may be to consider a different venue for the party.  A church social hall, a school gym or cafeteria, a park with a gazebo, someone's back yard, may be possibilities to allow all guests to be there at the same time.  Also, if you have anyone nice enough to ask what they can do to help, be sure to accept their offer and see if they can either help set-up or clean-up or perhaps bring a veggie tray or make cookies.  This will help financially and will be less stress for you.

Is it similar to a wedding ceremony? If so then just go by that. If it is different you could still use one of them. I think that is really nice.

You need to center it around something that is meaningful to you and your fiance. You must share common interests. List them and then think about what you can do to use that as a theme.\n\nPersonally, I'd love to attend a costume party wedding. I think that would be a blast! \n\n.

My suggestion is look for a really good dj/mc in your area.  This is the person who will truly make you and your guests have a great time.  \n\nThere are so many things you can plan at your wedding...do all of the traditional chicken, hokie pokie, macarena, hustle... also as the person above me suggested the "married the longest" dance (or also called anniversary dance) as well as dinner table trivia where the dj/mc announces the serving of dinner to tables only if the table can answer the trivia question. \n\nGo over everything with your entertainment and also ask for their suggestions.
