Ask a Question
What is everyone doing to keep the wedding fun?
So Brandon and I might be a little on the untraditional side, but we wanted a way to keep the wedding fun for our guests and for us. So here is a list of what we are doing!

movie Homemade "movie / slide show" of Us: My sister and I edit and make movie videos & slide shows, so we are going to make up a funny & sentimental scheme about Brandon & I to show.

We are doing the LIMBO instead of a garter toss: We figured it would be soo much fun to watch all of our silly groomsmen compete for the 'ultimate prize' lol. Maybe a Cabella's gift card?

For the ladies we are doing a scavenger hunt to get a basket filled with all kinds of goodies instead of a bouquet toss. They will need to go around and ask the guests for a tissue, a pencil... Of course the guests at the reception will have a warning, so they aren't bombarded with crazy girls!

We are going to serve krispy kreme donuts as part of the dessert! Yum!

Dare Jar: I got this idea from the Martha Stewart website. You place little dares in a jar and guests take one if they are feeling risky. You do stuff like "Kiss the bride" (idk know about that one though - I wouldn't want some of the guests there to get that one) and "Talk to someone new" "Ask the flower girl to dance with you" "Tell the groom that you love him too", just silly, fun and safe stuff like that.

What are you going to do to keep the party moving?

(lol, sorry to repeat. I just noticed some of the blogs out there with the same question - we are all on the same page today!)

Those are really cute ideas! We don't really want to do the garter toss or bouquet toss but I am not sure what to do in lieu of them. I may have to borrow some of your ideas if you don't mind ;-)! How fun!

Neat ideas!  The garter bouquet/toss IS outdated!

Gift cards is a good idea.  Instead of tossing the bouquet/garter, we're going to do something balloons (see my blog to read the options), but I didn't know what the prize would be.  Good idea!

We're hopefully going to have a dance floor with a swing band and a big moon bounce outside.  We might also add carnival games and popcorn and things like that to spice up the fun.

The groom's cake, since he doesn't like cake, is a doughnut tower.  Sorta like cupcake towers, but with doughnuts!  I have some pictures posted... they're so cute!

We're having a very casual wedding too, so hopefully that will be more fun for everyone.  I'm wearing a short dress with no shoes and the groom won't even wear a coat or a tie.

I LOVE the dare jar!!  That sounds like a bunch of fun!!  Except, I agree about leaving out the "kiss the bride" card...

I love you ideas!!! Your wedding sounds like it is going to be a blast!! We are doing horseshoes, sand volleyball, and my brother is bringing several boats to take people out on a ride on the lake. Were still looking for more ideas and I def. may have to steal some of yours!!
