On your wedding day, you and your loved ones will create memories to last a lifetime. You want your visitors to interact with one another and have a good time, and there are some simple activities and approaches you can attempt on the day of the event to kick things off. Try these suggestions we’ve seen for weddings at Vogue Ballroom to make your wedding day as entertaining as possible for you and your guests.
Disposable Cameras
Set up disposable cameras at each place setting so that visitors can capture the moment with their own photos. After the event, while you're going over the photos that your guests took, you'll be able to look back and either chuckle at the hilarious ones or be in awe of the wonderful moments they captured. If not, your guests can bring the cameras home and develop them whenever they choose.
Guest Questionnaires
Include questions on the guest's personal life, the wedding, and other topics in a questionnaire and place one at each place setting. During the meal, guests can read aloud their responses to one another.
Hashtags in Social Media
To see what your guests on Twitter and Instagram thought about the wedding and its events, use a hashtag and include it in the wedding programme or slideshow.
Conversation Cards
Between sets, have guests mingle with the help of a jar of colourful postcards bearing conversation starter questions. This is a fun and easy method to get people talking to one another and break the ice.
Inquire About Favorite Songs Along With the Rsvps
When sending out invitations, have a space for visitors to write down requests for the Djs or band on the ESVP card.
An Adaptable and Customizable Guestbook
Make a photo album of your wedding guests and their memories by asking them to bring in photos or printing out images of their own to include in a personalised guestbook.
Fun on the Grass With Games or a Good Karaoke Session
Add some outdoor competition and fun with lawn games like croquet and boules to your backyard wedding. If you're having an indoor wedding, you may also have karaoke set up so that guests can sing their hearts out to their favourite songs.
Enjoyment at a Photographic Booth
A photo booth is a great time for all. This is a fun way to get everyone engaged, plus also gives them something to remember the day by when they come home and hang on the fridge.
Conclusion

FAQs About Wedding Guest Involvement
Don’t Hold Back on the Favours
The power of wedding favours should not be discounted. If you pick correctly, your guests will be entertained for hours. Temporary tattoos, individualised name badges (which serve as excellent icebreakers), and miniature board games are some of our most treasured wedding favours to date. Preoccupy the young guests during your wedding with colouring books and treasure hunts.
Hire Some Kind of Show, Be It a Magician, a Band, or a Comedian
If you want your guests to have a good time, hire an entertainer. Selecting a band, magician, or comic for an event depends on the demographics of the crowd. This sort of pre-party entertainment is perfect for getting everyone in the celebratory spirit. With the right personnel, your guests will be kept amused for hours. For those who can afford it, hiring a caricaturist for the wedding is a wonderful way to give guests memorable mementoes of the event.
Serve the Food You Love Most
Including all of your favourite things is a great way to make the day special for you and your partner. It is commonly held that the wedding breakfast ought to be a formal, elaborate affair. If you like this kind of food, excellent; or even, feel free to pick anything else. Why not have your favourite meal, whether it's chips and fish or a steak dinner? Your visitors will appreciate the personal touch and the novelty of something a little out of the ordinary.
The dancing at the reception is often the most enjoyable part of the celebration. There's nothing wrong with a more conventional approach to the wedding dance, but some brides and grooms involve the whole wedding party in a dance spectacle that requires hours and hours of practise. Neither is wrong, but if you do anything embarrassing, it will be difficult to forget and may affect your decision.
Diversify Your Entertainment Options
Knowing who will be attending makes it much easier to plan suitable entertainment. In place of a professional DJ or band, guests at smaller weddings typically create their own music mix. A wedding ceremony at sunset would be perfect with jazz or a guitarist playing softly in the background.
Engage Your Audience
Your friends and family can't wait to help you celebrate your love, and they probably can't wait to take pictures, too. Give your guests a list of picture ops to complete, or even simply a hashtag to use, and you can rest assured that you will receive copies of all the memorable moments you will have missed while you were too busy whirling all around dance floor.
