2. Get your grandmas as flower girls
Who said flower girls are limited to young age brackets? This is not only one fun wedding entertainment idea to try but it is also memorable and special. Who wouldn’t love having their grandmas play a special role on their wedding day? Besides, they would also feel honored in tossing the flower petals.
3. Ditch mainstream photo booths and set up photo stand-ins instead
Photo booths are so last year and very common so why not spice things up a bit by getting rid of it? Instead of setting photo booths, why not use fun stand-ins for a change? This idea also screams fun wedding entertainment.
4. Think of a unique guest book
Guestbooks shouldn’t be bland and boring. Make things more exciting with your eccentric and fun wedding entertainment ideas such as using a scrap book, setting up an old vintage typewriter where guests can type their “words of marriage wisdom”, setting an inspirational wall where they can post their wishes on colorful post-its, or by jotting down their words of encouragement on puzzled pieces.
5. Entertain your guests by providing them fun transportation
This fun wedding entertainment is very ideal for those who will be holding the wedding party on a separate venue. Take your wedding transportation on a whole new level by shuttling your guests on a yellow school bus for that romantic high school feels, or via vintage cars for those who are opting for an old glam vintage wedding, or horse-drawn carriages for opulent fairy-tale inspired weddings, or via sleek yacht or speed boat if your reception is by an ocean or lake.
6. Set up a kiddie entertainment booth
This might be handy for guests who have their little kids in tow. Set-up a kiddie entertainment station where children can play and at the same time enjoy your wedding.
7. Have a fun food truck at your wedding reception
Your guests would surely love this fun wedding entertainment idea. Hiring a food truck for a day is quite cheap and would surely add that needed kick for your one-of-a-kind wedding reception.
8. Send out useful wedding souvenirs
Give out practical wedding souvenirs or party favors such as custom scented soaps, fragrant colognes, Asian sandalwood fans, personalized cork coasters, customized wine glasses, a pair of flip flops or sunglasses. These are only few ideas of fun wedding entertainment that you can try.
9. Hire a wedding band or dj
This shouldn’t be crossed out on your list of fun wedding entertainment ideas or else you’ll bore your guests. Hire a wedding band or a dj and ask them to play danceable music and we’re pretty sure that your guests will be hitting the dance floor anytime soon.
10. Surprise your guests with a surprise number
Lastly, make sure to end the wedding part with a bang! Plan a surprise number for your guests but don’t include it on the wedding program or else it wouldn’t be a surprise at all. You could do an intermission number as a couple or hire Tahitian dancers for your Hawaiian-inspired wedding, salsa dancers, belly dancers, fire dancers or some acrobats to put some action on your wedding.
