Wedding weekend activities

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008


Weekend weddings are becoming more popular, particularly in families are spread further apart. Usually begins on Friday night, go to the wedding on Saturday and after the wedding breakfast on Sunday before everyone returns home.

Planning action in relation to the weekend-long celebration need not be difficult, in fact, may be a lot of fun if you keep all of your needs in mind. First, consider marriage. Is this a formal wedding with sit down dinner at its center? If so, you might want to ban formal rehearsal dinner and instead replace it with an informal dinner with barbecue or picnic.

But how do you intend to keep people occupied during the long weekend? There are many steps to consider. The wedding will be near the lake? How about planning day at the lake on Saturday, completed the pre-wedding activities such as swimming races and volleyball on the beach.

One popular pre-wedding activity is the Scavenger Hunt. Before the wedding weekend, the list of significant items should be drawn up, and guests placed in two teams. The list should include, inter alia, “obtained from brochures jewelry store, where (groom) bought (bride) ’s Ring” or “take a picture of this group in the place where the couple is involved.” You’ll have to adjust the Scavenger Hunt list to the location of the wedding guests and energy, who will participate.

You can even offer lavish rewards for the team that wins the Scavenger Hunt, such as gift certificates or gourmet food and wine baskets. Perhaps it seems an obvious choice to divide into groups of teams, who know or are related to the bride and teams who know or are related to the groom, but may be a little more fun to mix it up a bit. You can create teams with friends, compared with the family, compared to men or women (always a popular choice).

Other activities, which are often in the course of the weekend wedding is a competitive sport activities, such as baseball or flag football. Again, you must add a special twist. Offer rewards for performance (the first home run gets a kiss from the bride), or make stupid rules, as party members have to vow to wear while driving Tiaras scratch or members of his family in the groom should always have their shirts on backwards.

It is important that during the weekend wedding, planners note that the weekend may be costly for some visitors, especially those who had to fly in relation to a number of occasions and activities should be free or inexpensive. If they are more expensive, and planned for the whole group, should be paid by one of the bride and groom or their families.

But there are many steps that need not be expensive, but can provide big bang for little Buck, such as suggested above Scavenger Hunt. If wedding guests weekend will be mainly the family, you can schedule a home movie-watching events, including home movies from both the bride and groom families. For even more fun, consider the activity, where movies are mixed and guests have to guess that families are watching movies. This may sound easy, but, depending on the content, it may be difficult, especially when the bride and groom are children in the photos.

Wedding toast activities

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008


Giving a toast is a responsibility that puts fear into the hearts of most members saying the wedding parties. Although it is not usually something that is particularly long or involved, to public speaking (which does not sit well with many people) and really puts people on the spot.

If you are planning a wedding and know that the majority of the members of the party are hams marriage, that does not mean the whole “public speaking” thing, and then by all means keep the traditional toasts with dad, the best man and others taking their expected turnover on the microphone.

But if you’re looking for something else, because you want to save putting people on the spot, or simply want to do something different and fun, read on.

First, you can certainly take the whole toast thing off the agenda, if you want. There are no provisions requiring a toast at every wedding. Weddings should be unique events and reflect the personalities of the bride and groom.

But if you want to do something a little different, there are options. You can route video, which asks people to essentially make a toast to the video camera, and then is given at a later bride and groom. This is not a particularly unique idea, but does not solve the problem is not people who want to put on the spot and still gives everyone a chance to say something special for the bride and groom.

If your guest list includes many outgoing then consider “pass the microphone.” This may work in several ways. You can be stupid with it, or deadly serious. Most of the people as stupid. Tell dad takes the microphone first. His name ends with a T (yes, let’s say that his father’s name is Smith). He needs to find someone whose name begins with the first T (Tom? Tony? Tina? Teresa?) I go to the microphone, that person, which then gives a toast.

This method does not give the croutons to put people on the ground (for sure before you start playing you can warn them, so really, if they are unpleasant, they may resort to the restroom or bar), but it can also be a lot of fun. Getting people when they least expect, and then asking you to remember something, funny or meaningful to the bride and groom can make an interesting, entertaining and results from the truth.

You can also decide that one person in each table is required to give a toast. The number of tables and various time intervals, MC or DJ to call a number, which will require guests at the table to decide among themselves who will toast on the table. Certainly more than one person can if they like, but probably will be at least one leg in each table, which will enjoy a steady and toasting the newlyweds.

Say you have a lot of public speakers in the group, as well as finding willing toast participants will not be a problem. But do you think the subject may be. There is a simple solution to this problem. You can provide open threads on the toast speakers. Say you ensure “open microphone” toast arrangement, where anyone can request the microphone and propose a toast. DJ, MC or someone else in WEDDING (perhaps a maid of honor or best man) can offer the speaker a surprise, which can be downloaded from the champagne flute or pull out of the flowers on the head table arrangement. There can be slips of paper to select, or only one sheet of paper with a few ideas.

Speaker may decide to finish this sentence, “I remember when (groom name here) was a small boy, he always …” or reply to this question, “When (Bride insert name here) at its silliest? Tell us a story.” You can be up to each speaker a minute or two, to collect his thoughts, but you sure some interesting stories, some unique anecdotes, and some different perspectives on the bride and groom.

Wedding Rehearsal Dinner Games

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008


Wedding attempts are sometimes relaxing dinner, calm down and enjoy a quiet evening before the big event for the next day. But adding some fun and games at the rehearsal dinner not be such a bad idea. It is an excellent way to help all let off some steam, calm down and enjoy each other.

If you plan to sit down gala dinner, games and fun activities may still be on the menu. In fact, if the gala dinner is part of the plans, with some interesting action on the agenda is not only a good idea, but also an excellent one. There was a lot of planning, and stress and many wedding parties and close friends and family will welcome the opportunity to have some fun.

The success or failure of any games or activities to a large extent depends not only on the planning, but its place. If you have a sit down dinner in a restaurant, we strive to a private room. Then a lot of fun can be planned activities, such as “pin the veil on the bride” in which guests spin around the eyes several times, and then try to pin the veil on a picture of the bride. Stupid, yes, but also fun.

Certainly a fun activity to help all let off some steam is charades. Who is out of work until it is a scene of the bride or groom life, so it could be completed at the college, or getting a tremendous career. The “it” person may choose to act, when the bride tripped and fell on another person or marriage, when the groom was saved from dog hit by a car ever. This is a little twist on charades, that helps people to know the bride and groom better, intimacy and adds to what is already intimate event.

If the wedding rehearsal dinner is a little less formal and held in someone’s home, there are many other actions, which may take place. For example, every night playing games? Who needs formal food? You can have that on the day after the formal wedding. At the rehearsal dinner parties, games are at the center stage.

Bring in some sandwiches and tell everyone that they wear comfortable clothes and settle in for night games. You can set up tables for various games, sharing people in the group 4 or 5 and all have turned the tables in the designated times. You can even recommend a game of players that when they move to another table, the game remains out of the way. Yes, for example, dad can start playing Monopoly, where the bride and he was stuck just a bit more money in the bank and there are no houses on the Boardwalk.

Yes, let’s say, the bride and groom are in big sports. If the wedding is to take place during the summer and the days are long as the game of baseball or touch football? You can play against the family of the bride groom family, men against women, or with a twist, the game of the bride and groom families of the bride groom family. Any combination of songs. The idea here is a fun, relax and enjoy each other company.

Other outside may include anything that is physical and can help people to let off steam. He has the bride, were more “bridezilla” than anything? How about the game where the tag? You can also create two bridesmaid’s dress-up trunks. Go to the store economics, please fill out the trunks of old prom dresses and large size shoes, jewelry and costumes. Guests divided into two different teams and someone to sit with a timer. Dresses team, which is one of the men (preferably, groom and best man or possibly two Dads) first wins. Make sure the camera is on the rehearsal dinner / event, because this is one of the activities we wanted to take pictures!
