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.
