Fun Wedding Activities

While during your wedding you would like for the attention to be focused on you and your new husband, the reception is where people jump in and have fun with you. There are the traditional parts, of course, like the first dance as husband and wife, the father daughter dance, and eating and drinking with the bride and groom. However, there are ways to incorporate fun activities for everyone to either watch or be a part of.

One of the most traditional fun activities is when the bride and groom feed a piece of cake to each other. There is usually laughter involved in this because there is typically frosting on the faces of the dolled up couple. Then there is the garter ceremony where the groom takes the garter off of the leg of his new bride, which is also an event that focuses on the bride and groom and does not really need other people to participate.

Then there are activities for everyone. There are dances, such as the electric slide, in which case everyone can get up and dance with the newlyweds. Other dancing can be incorporated as well and this way everyone is able to dance their own way.

You could also leave bells at the seats of your guests which they can ring at any point during the reception to make the bride and groom kiss. Then, you could place cards on the tables and have the guests write funny or embarrassing stories about the bride and groom as a couple or as individuals to be read later on in the evening to bring some laughter into the reception.

Other activities that can be done are having a guest book to write something to the new couple for them to read on their honeymoon or throwing rice or lighting sparklers for the couple to run through on the way out of the reception.
