Just Dance….
No wedding reception is complete without a dancefloor! Make sure your reception venue has a space that you can set up as the party central later on in the evening when everybody’s feeling ready to move!

Play That Song…
When you send out invites, include a space on the RSVP card where guests can request songs they want to hear played at the wedding. That way, everyone will be up and dancing at some point because they created the playlist! Alternatively, give each table at the reception a designated song and when that song plays, the whole table has to get up and dance!

Cartoon Keepsake…
Get your guests giggling by hiring a caricature artist to sketch them. This activity will have everyone smiling and leave your guests with the perfect keepsake to take home as a memento of your big day.
Mr And Mrs Quiz…
Leave quiz cards on every reception table so that your guests can take part in a Mr and Mrs Quiz about the newlyweds! Between courses, encourage everyone to have a go answering questions that could range from how the couple met, to who is the best dancer between them. If you want to raise the stakes, get a prize for the table that has the most correct answers.

Indulge Your Sweet Tooth…
Turn your celebration into something out of Willy Wonka’s factory and create a pop-up candy station at your reception. Your guests will love browsing through the sweet treats and filling up lollie bags with sugary goodness. To add a personal touch to this idea, choose sweets for the station that have special meanings to you and your significant other – maybe something you ate on your first date at the movies.

Order’s Up…
Food trucks are so in right now and they are the perfect addition to your big day! Put a unique spin on the traditional sit down meal at a wedding reception and let your guests have some fun with the different options offered by a brightly coloured food truck. Alternatively, have this available to guests later in the evening when they are needing to refuel with a late night snack.

Photo Booth Fun…
Having a designated area for guests to take silly photos always goes down well. Create a themed backdrop or add in some props and you’ve got hours of fun. If you’re feeling creative, hang a picture frame with glass inside and leave a whiteboard marker for your guests to draw on their own pictures and captions for extra entertaining photos.
Like The Fourth Of July…
Create another fun photo opportunity by giving your guests sparklers when it starts to get dark. No matter how old you are, everyone gets mesmerised by the bright, sizzling light of a sparkler. There won’t be any fake smiles captured in pictures from this memorable moment.

After The After Party…
Instead of just heading home when your reception venue closes, organise an after party for you and your most fun-loving guests. Book a room at a nearby karaoke club and keep the party going by singing the night away. Alternatively, arrange a karaoke machine at your reception for later in the evening. This is guaranteed to keep everyone entertained!

Need To Recover?…
It’s always a sad moment when the wedding night is over and everyone heads home. Let the party continue the next day with a recovery brunch. This gives you and your guests the perfect chance to enjoy a mimosa and reminisce about the night before.
