Photo Booth

Games
If you are having an outdoor wedding, yard games such as Corn Hole and Croquet are a great choice to keep guests entertained. Crossword puzzles can be a fun way to “quiz” your guests on how much they know about you. Check out this post on Mrs. Fancee for a wedding crossword tutorial.
Candy Bar

Live Band

Guest Photographers
Challenge your guests with a list of photos to capture, or just provide a hashtag for guests to use to ensure you get copies of all the photos while you are making your way around the room.
Weekend Getaway
If you have guests traveling great distances to attend, consider planning activities for the weekend that celebrate your location or serving family recipes for a brunch or dinner.
Hire A Performer
There are performers for every occasion, even weddings. Whether it’s a magician or a belly dancer, a performer can keep things interesting while keeping your guests entertained.
Dessert Bar
Wedding cakes are still popular, but desert bars are also becoming more popular. Think about cookie bars, pie bars or even donut bars. A desert bar can also double as favors by leaving small boxes or bags for guests to take some for the road.
Wedding Karaoke
This will make for a very entertaining reception. Make sure you have a videographer on hand to capture every silly song! You will have memories to cherish for a lifetime.
Have A Dance-Off
