If your wedding day is the happiest day of your life, it makes sense that you’ll want it to be the most fun too.
Unfortunately, weddings can often feel boring and stuffy, exhausting both the happy couple and the guests that attend. The good news is there are plenty of ways to spice up your wedding day and make it more fun with different types of entertainment. Read on to find out what they are.
Games bring people together
Games are great entertainment for a wedding, not only because they keep everyone entertained but also because they are brilliant icebreakers. Indeed, some types of games like giant chess, Jenga, or even lawn crochet will have all your guests getting along like they have known each other for years.
Another way to use games as entertainment at your wedding is to include things like old-fashioned fairground attractions.
Think hook-a-duck, knock over the cans, ring toss, and that sort of thing. Some people have even embraced axe throwing as part of their wedding entertainment, a novelty that you can be sure most people have never done before.
Music is the food of love
Music is one of the most popular types of entertainment for a wedding, and there are so many options to consider, including DJs for the disco part of your evening. Many people like to have a live band or performer at the wedding now, although finding one that suits your musical taste can be quite challenging.
However, some websites cater to wedding bands specifically, or why not try an open mic that is happening locally? There, you will find the newest talent looking for their big break who will not have played at anyone else’s weddings.
Take a break
Weddings can be exhausting, especially if you are getting married, so do not forget to schedule some breaks if needed.
A good way of doing this is to have your reception in the same hotel where you will be staying the night. Then, you and your other half can retreat to your room for 15 minutes for a quick sitdown away from everyone else, and then emerge refreshed and ready to enjoy the rest of the entertainment.
Stop the kids from getting bored
Last, everyone wants their guests to think their wedding is unique, but often, the little ones’ needs are forgotten. Kids have an even lower tolerance for boredom than adults, so it’s vital to make sure there is plenty to keep them entertained, too.
The good news is you can do this in a myriad of ways, from having a dedicated children’s entertainer like a clown or magician to investing in kid-friendly things, such as bounce castles.
Another sport option is to add a ‘quiet pack’ to each child’s table setting, containing things like colouring and sticker books, games, and pencils. Then, you can be sure they will have plenty to keep them entertained during the speeches!
