Add some flair to your wedding with these fun and exciting wedding activities. No longer does your wedding have to be boring and traditional. Instead, customize it for a night to remember! Here are a few unique wedding activities inspired by Brides.com.


Lawn Games

Jenga

Set out life-size Jenga blocks on a table outside. 

Ring Toss

Have this carnival classic to bring out a little competition between guests.

Cornhole

Cornhole is a must-have lawn game. You can even customize the boards specific to your wedding theme! 

Bocce Ball

An actual court is not necessary to play. The lawn is perfect for a quick game of bocce ball. 

High Striker

Show off your strength with this old-fashioned carnival game that involves a rubber mallet and determination! 


Group/Reception Activities

360 Photo Booth

One of the newest trends, a 360 Photo booth, is always a fun way to pose with guests. Bring out your inner celebrity and strike a pose!  

Traditional Photo Booth

Match a photo booth with whatever the theme of your wedding is. Be sure to have a few props for guests to take fun pictures with! 

Poker Station

Rent a poker table and hire a dealer for the night! A poker station is typically favored among the gentleman guests. 

Board Game Station

Have multi-player games sitting out for when guests get tired of dancing. Uno, Scrabble, Life and Guess Who are a few to mention.

The Shoe Game

The newlyweds sit back-to-back in front of all their guests, each take a shoe off and swap shoes. A member of the bridal party will act as the host and ask the couple questions in which they’d raise their shoe in response. 


Other

Live Painting

Have an artist paint a masterpiece of your wedding for a forever keepsake. There are different things to capture, such as a first dance or just the wedding scene.

Sabering a Champagne Bottle

Sabering is a form of celebration and is the cutting of a champagne cork with a saber. Be sure to do this stunt with caution since it involves a sharp object. 

Doughnut Wall

Another new trend that is making an appearance at weddings is custom doughnut walls. It is social media worthy and also delicious! 

Flower Crown Bar

Have a touch of bohemian DIY by setting up a flower crown station for guests. Set out your favorite flowers and green pieces while providing florist wire, tape, garden shears and scissors. 

Hire Your Favorite Impersonator

For a fun touch, hire an impersonator to float around the party! Elvis Presley, Britney Spears or even Madonna would bring some life to the party.
