#1. Have an artist paint your ceremony

Ok, you are not Victorian nobility but it sounds cool, right? I am sure I am not the only one who finds it classy to capture your best moments on canvas. Hire one of your local artists to capture your special day in timeless fashion!

#2. Spice up your first dance

No, I don’t mean trying some fancy ball- room moves I mean really turn it up! Instead of doing the traditional hand in arm walk- in maybe you can enter with fist in the air and a big yeah! Or the robot dance if you can pull it off I mean, but the idea is to set the mood for the rest of the evening, the bride and groom will be the natural tone setters of the evening so make it red hot..spice it up!

#3. A walk down memory lane

Depending on the type of venue there are different ways to incorporate a memory lane theme into the decor. For example, if there is a hallway to the main room why not have it decorated with pictures of the couple and their friends and colleagues coming in as guests. They will appreciate their association with the stars of the day being put on display for everyone to see, and it might help guests to break the ice with each other by getting clues about how other guests know the wedding couple.

#4. Get a Photo stand in

Yes, instead of the typical photo corner or photo booth, why not get a fun stand in photo booth that your guests will love and are sure to frame making your day that much more memorable.

#5. Divide guests in two teams representing each of the couples

Then think of interactive activities that will bring out a little bit of fun competition. Activities like musical chairs and limbo dancing are examples.

#6. Keep a part of the food menu customizable

Tacos maybe or customized cupcakes. Having a way of customizing the food is a fun way of creating a sense of choice and abundance. A buffet also works, but having a variety of simple fun treats may go a longer way at keeping your friends fun and giddy than a fancy platter of beautiful herbs.

#7. Have an informal after party

Just when guests have thought the night has ended, announce an impromptu after party. The wedding couple does not have to attend as they are likely to be looking forward to the bridal night. But having a limousine collect the late party hangers-on and whisk them to another location is a way to control when the night ends so that you can get down to serious business.

#8. Choose a sweet goodbye treat

Send your guest off with a great goody bag of midnight snacks such as milk and cookies or have a truck with a 24hr breakfast service serve favorites like waffles and pancakes. Ending the night like that is sure to be the cherry on the cake for your important day.

#9. Have an end of the night treat

Have your guest look forward to a special end of the night treat. An example is a camp- fire like activity were a good guitarist can keep the crowd entertained, in between activities like roasting the bride and groom. For those who don’t know, roasting is when friends pay money to the bride or groom or both for the right to share an embarrassing story about them. This is sure to keep the mood alive towards the end of the event.

#10. Karaoke

Have a karaoke segment of the night featuring the most popular guests of the night. Remember the rule is songs choices should be one the crowd can sing along to so that it can be more interactive and it is not necessary just about the singer unleashing suppressed desires to be an international pop star!
