When it comes to wedding entertainment, couples and guests are absolutely spoilt! Thoughtful couples are going all out on their Big Day with lots of lovely ways to fill that post-ceremony lull, are upping the stakes at the drinks reception (guests will love the novelty of stopping by a cute drinks station to pick up a glass of bubbly or cocktail and grab a snap or will have a ball with some games) or ensure there are some fun surprises in store for that period between dinner ending and the band kicking off its set such as a caricature artist or photo booth.
And they’ve come up with some genius ideas to ensure guests are involved at various stages throughout the day as well from dancing shoes so the ladies can kick off the heels and dance up a storm to wedding hashtags so guests can snap away and feel like a part of the festivities! Check out more of our favourite ideas below…
