Wedding Ideas- How to Keep Your Guests WOWed!

Ultimate ways to keep 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.

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

Ceremony Ideas - Chair Setup- Indoors/Outdoors

Instead of the traditional chair setup, why not do something different. You can do diagonal, spiral or even circular setup. 

Welcome Bag Idea

These bags can be filled with nifty ideas. Place welcome bags on each seat or have your ushers hand them to each guest upon their arrival. In each bag, you can place something different that shows both your favorite comfort snacks, (protein bars, health bars, snickers, etc.) a small bottle of water, a fan, (depends on location) mad lib and pencils, a tiny favor album, just to name a few things. These bags can be custom made to fit your wedding color(s), personality and likes. 

Be creative: Quench your guest’s curiosity by giving the groom’s welcome bag to the bride’s side and the bride’s welcome bag to the groom’s side. This will give your guests an idea of both your tastes and your history!😃

Tiny Wedding Albums

Wedding Mad Libs

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!
