Dancing not your thing? Drinking not your thing? Here are some alternative ideas for your friends & fam to enjoy at your reception!
Not everyone is into dancing or drinking, and if those things aren’t your vibe, you totally don’t have to lean into that for your wedding!
You could have a live band, a burlesque show, a drag show, or karaoke!
Consider having a foosball table, ping pong table, or tabletop games like chess, cribbage or boardgames. Pro tip – book a venue that already has these games around!
You could also have your guests participate in a murder mystery or other involved group game.
If the season and your venue allow, making s’mores around the campfire is a cozy, alternative way to spend the evening.
Cornhole, volleyball, croquet, anyone?
I’ve seen plenty of photobooths at wedding receptions. The best ones have props!
There’s also the option of having your photographer bring a photo setup and a second / assistant to snap more formal portraits of all your guests.
Lastly, if you and your love are tattoo people (or even if you’re not, but many of your guests are) – you could have a tattoo artist set up a table at your reception! Such a fun idea and a special way for you and your guests to look back on this day forever.
What am I missing on this list? Truthfully, it doesn’t matter – it’s your day and you can do whatever fun things you want with it! I hope this list sparked some ideas that are special to you two to round out your wedding celebration.
