Fun ideas for your guests to take part in

Chelsea, on November 14, 2016 at 10:19 Posted in Wedding reception 0 12

Hello ladies! Are you having anything else at the front when your guests first arrive besides a guest book?

Which of these 3 ideas are your favourite and would you consider using these at your wedding?

Perfect for the non-game-enthused among your guests, this “game” really just involves brainstorming great date night ideas for the newlyweds. Lay out a pile of wood craft or popsicle sticks and permanent markers next to a basket or jar so guests can write down their suggestions and drop them in the jar for the bride and groom to take home and use for inspiration after the wedding.

Date night jar

Have something set up for your guests to write their best advice to keep the love in the air. Assuming that a majority of your guests have been through a marriage themselves, they can offer you insight on how to keep the fire of your relationship burning. Possibilities for this idea include popsicle sticks in a mason jar or a simple piece of paper that your guest can drop in a jar.

Grab a new or old dictionary and have your guests circle and sign a word that they feel best describes you as a couple. This is a fun way to discover the different was that people view your relationship and at the same time make them think outside of the box!

    One thing I saw on Pinterest that I loved was having notebooks with the table number on it, with an inscription that reads, "write a word of advice for our 1st Anniversary. "For example table 9 would have "write a word of advice for our 9th anniversary" . So far I've only found rustic versions , and I'm trying to find notebooks that are more modern and elegant to go with my theme! So if you ladies ever find any, message me! Smiley smile

    Are you going to do something like this at your wedding? Or even a bridal shower?
