Surprising wedding guests is a fun thing to do and almost always results in a magical and unforgettable occasion. But where do you even begin? There is some work to do, but from adding personalization to interactive elements of the wedding, here are some suggestions.
There are many ways to elevate a wedding experience. Aside from memorable vows, one of the most powerful for you and the guests is the food! Putting thought into the menu by providing alternatives for all guests shows that you appreciate them and have considered their experience as well as your own. From veganism to halaal, any catering company worth hiring will work with you to create something truly special that your guests will never forget.
Knowing the names of your guests is more than showing common courtesy. It can also help you ensure guests feel more welcome with personalized features for each person. For example, you can leave a named welcome and thank you note at each guest’s seating space. You can also ensure guests enjoy the day by providing a range of activities that cater to everyone in attendance. This ensures nobody feels left out and everyone has something exciting to do.
The average number of wedding guests ranges from between 82 and 103, and that means there are a lot of people to keep happy and entertained. Of course, this is much easier if you choose something like a cruise ship wedding, as there will be an ample supply of exciting activities. But for a more traditional occasion, it gets a little more tricky. Unexpected moments that wow your guests have become the norm at modern weddings, such as flash mobs!
Most people love a good dance at a wedding, but it isn’t for everyone, and there could be guests with mobility issues. This means you may have to provide more for your guests to do and engage with, which is never a bad thing. Popular fun elements at weddings today include photo booths, animal handling, and going all out on the theme; circus entertainment, anyone? Whatever you decide, providing more than a DJ and a dancefloor will make magical memories.
It’s unlikely that your wedding guest list contains a lot of people you don’t know very well. But with the excitement and even stress of the occasion, you can lose some focus. It always pays to be kind and respectful to any guest you are welcoming and always thank them for coming. Remember, guests have taken the time out of their lives and attended at their own cost to celebrate your magical day with you. The least you can do is show some common courtesy.
Providing multiple alternative food options is a good way of surprising wedding guests and showing you have considered their needs. Unique moments such as flash mobs can also elevate the day, even if they are cheesy! But above all, guests just appreciate a little respect.
