You’re getting married—and you don’t want your wedding to be exactly like everyone else’s. Your special day should be uniquely “you,” from the venue to the food to the entertainment. Make the reception an event to remember with these fun entertainment ideas.

6 Ways to Entertain Your Wedding Guests

1. Photo Booth

Photo booths with props give you and your guests photos to laugh about and cherish forever. Choose props that go with your wedding theme, your honeymoon destination, or say something special about how you met.

2. Caricature Artist

Even adults will love having their likeness drawn by a professional caricature artist. This covers entertainment and favors, b/c your guests will have a drawing to take home. A couple’s caricature also makes for a fun memento for the wedding couple.

3. Arcade

Your teenage guests will think they’ve arrived at the best wedding ever if you put an arcade in one corner of your venue. You could go modern with Xboxes and PlayStations, or retro by renting a few old school games.  

4. Bouncy Houses

Outdoor reception venues call for outdoor fun. And yes, they’re for grown-ups too! Your wedding photos will also be especially memorable as your bridesmaids and groomsmen leap around in their tuxes and dresses.

5. Face Painter

If you’re expecting a lot of kids, a face painter is a unique, colorful activity. Don’t be surprised if some of the parents have their faces painted, too. You could ask the artist to offer themed face paintings to go with your wedding, such as flowers that match yours.   

6. Casino Tables

Turn your reception venue into Monte Carlo with casino gaming tables and fake money they can use to play. This is the perfect option for those guests who are feeling too shy to dance, but want to participate in the fun, too.
