The Ultimate guide to keeping your guests happy and entertained
Weddings are exciting and fun for everyone. So, why not get the excitement started with your ceremony and continue to your reception. Let your guests experience your wedding through the five senses and enjoy themselves while at it. Use these great ideas that we came up with to WOW your guests.
1. Shirdance- Live Entertainment
Get the conversation going as your guests arrive with live statues to greet them or as an aisle marker during your ceremony, and again during cocktail hour to keep the excitement going. Have the statues stand at the entrance of the church with your ushers on both sides with the welcome bags. This can be tailored to your wedding style. Shirdance

2. Ceremony Ideas - Chair Setup- Indoors/Outdoors
Instead of the traditional chair setup, why not do something different. You can do diagonal, spiral, or even a circular setup.

These bags can be filled with nifty ideas. Place welcome bags on seats or have your ushers hand them to each guest upon arrival. In each, place something different that shows something like your favorite comfort snacks. This can be protein bars, health bars, or snickers; a small bottle of water with a personalized label, fans, (depending on location) mad libs and pencils, tiny favor album, to name a few. These bags can be custom-made to fit your wedding color(s), personality, and likes. Creative Tip: Quench your guests' curiosity by giving the groom’s welcome bags to the bride’s side and the bride’s welcome bags to the groom’s side. This will give your guests an idea of your tastes and history together!
Use this idea to entertain your guests while they await your arrival. This should be a part of your welcome bag. Don’t forget to add those pencils! This is a great way to entertain your guests while they wait for your arrival during the ceremony. Have your guests fill out the blanks before looking at the questions with the words called for. Then use the words to fill in the blank space to complete the story. No peeking!
