Interesting Entertainment Ideas for Your Wedding

Do you want to create a wedding unlike any that has ever been held?  Do you want to ensure that your reception is talked positively for years to come?  You must first define who you are as a couple and then use your imagination to create interesting entertainment ideas for your wedding.  Here are a few suggestions that to get your creative juices to flowing.

• Create a themed wedding or reception - Fun and games can be had at your wedding reception and appeal to the young as well as the young at heart.  Whether you choose to have casino night or encourage couples to face off against each other in a dating game, get your guest involved.  There are many companies that will assist you in creating any theme that you desire.  Your theme is only limited by your imagination, your budget and your venue.


• Hire professional entertainers - Think outside of the box and do not just look for musical talent.  Hire dancers or other professionals that will perform throughout your reception.  Change up your music often and keep your guest guessing what is next on your agenda.


• Invest in an artist - To draw caricatures of your guests, or to paint or draw pictures of the reception as it unfolds.  These can be given to the guest or kept by the bride and groom as keepsakes.  What could be more beautiful than for your guest to watch a watercolor of your beachfront wedding unfold throughout the reception.


• Create a dessert buffet - Who says that wedding cake has to be the only dessert at a wedding.  Consider asking key family members to whip up their specialty or ask your caterer about unique ways of showcasing a variety of desserts.


• Create specialty drinks for your wedding reception - These may be drinks that have some type of significance to the two of you, or just your favorite drinks that you have chosen.  Remember to have alcoholic and non-alcoholic choices.  Provide special glassware for souvenirs for those that are willing to partake of your speciality choice.


• Consider hiring a dance instructor to teach some type of group or line dances to your guest - Get them all on the floor from the youngest to the oldest.  Have them do something that does not require partners to do.


• Consider making your wedding and reception informal and throw a picnic, BBQ or pig picking - Set up lawn games such as volleyball, horseshoes, basketball and more. Let your guest know that they are welcome to wear comfortable clothing so that they will be more willing to participate.  Consider a competition between the guys and the girls with small prizes for the winners.  Many caterers specialize in hosting large events of this nature.  This can be a very cost effective choice compared to a formal reception.
