When you start planning your wedding, you’re looking everywhere for tips and unique wedding reception activities to make your big day spectacular. Planning the ceremony is the easy part but planning a creative wedding reception your friends and family will never forget is the hard part. What makes a wedding reception creative? In fact, there are many ways to make your wedding reception creative and fun:

Wedding Sparklers

Wedding sparklers for your reception are a creative touch that will get your guests involved and make for great photos! Use any of our three different size wedding sparklers or our cake/bottle top sparklers to create magic during the reception that everyone will remember forever.

Tell a Story

Share the story of your love with your attendees or how you got engaged! Place pictures and memories that led you to the big “I do” around your reception. Print off your photos as polaroid’s and string them throughout the reception with lights and other decor. It’s YOUR day, tell YOUR story.

Keep it Fun!

Include fun games and activities for your guests to participate in during your reception. These games can be bride and groom trivia, ice breaker games for the tables or scavenger hunts.

Creative Food/Beverage Choices

Have a “make-your-own station”! Be creative! Make your own alcohol beverages, desserts, etc. These are great stations for guests to get involved and make their own signature creations! Or, hire a local food truck to serve handheld foods such as tacos, ice cream or pizza! Food trucks are a popular trend right now, why not have one at your wedding? The food will not disappoint!

Social Media

Most of your guests are active on social media. Give them a reason to post live pictures from your wedding and show their followers how much fun they’re having! Include stations with fun props for photos and your wedding #hashtag. Props can be hats, glasses, shapes, phrases, etc. Pictures last forever, make them AMAZING!

Music

Instead of using a DJ, try something different! Hire a local band to perform at your wedding. It won’t be songs that are on the radio and that will make your reception unique! It will get your guests on their feet dancing the night away.

These different and super fun ideas for a creative wedding reception will surely be one that is talked about for years to come!
