15 Top Fun Ideas For Your Wedding


 What I love about weddings is that now couples are turning away from some of the traditional elements and instead making their weddings more personal and adding fun and individual touches.
Below I have chosen my top 15 ideas.......


1. A fun day out for the groomsmen and bridesmaids, organise some fun games, maybe some additional challenges such as hiring some inflatable games

 
 
2. A DIY Ice Cream Station
 

 
3. A DIY Waffle Station

 
 
 
4. Wisdom Cards
 Seeking advice from your Guests? great fun to look at when your big day is over
 
 
 
 
5.Who said you couldn't include your grandma's or Aunts into
 the Wedding party?

 
 
6. Crayons and Sweets for the kids table

 
 
7. Anniversary PiƱata
As guests to add a small gift, a comment card or a joke, a time capsule
 to be opened on the first Anniversary
 


 
 
 

 
 
8. Use photographs for your Table Plan
 
 
 
 
 9. A fun box for the Children who are attending the wedding, make sure you include a disposable camera with a "what shall I photograph" list.
the great thing about these is you can personalise them to each individual child.
 
 
 
10. Bubbles for all!

 
 
              11. Requests Cards to give to the DJ, add them to your RSVP's


 
 
 
 
12. Lawn Games, great for children and adults alike
 
 
 
 
13. Fingerprint Tree - Perfect alternative to a Guest Book
 
 
 
14. How about Donuts! - Perfect Sweet Treat for Any Reception
 
 
 
15. Activity Table - great idea for a playroom or quiet corner at your wedding, make sure this is put in a well lit area of your venue
 
 
 
 
 
 Do you have any great ideas that we have not shown? would love to hear them, get in touch and we will share them with other brides.

Rustic Inspiration & Ideas

 
 
Anybody who knows me knows that I love rustic themed events, from Barn Dances, Weddings to general outdoor parties, keeping with nature and a rustic theme gives you the perfect excuse to use things around us without having to spend lots of money. After all we all want to have a perfect event but preferably without the cost.
 
 
 
 
What I like about this table setting is the way that they have used an assortment of coloured bottles and jars and simply filled them with a few wild flowers.  Simple but effective and if you do not have any bottles or jars around a great way to source them is to visit charity shops or car boot sales, why shouldn't you have a little fun with it?
 
 
 
With this table setting what I particularly like are the way they have added pine cones, place with the flowers, bottles or Jars on a piece of burlap again keeps things looking rustic and natural, effective but informal.

 
One of my favourites now are things displayed on Log slabs, its proving very popular for using as a base for centrepieces. Here they have used them for their cake table. Just a note, make sure they are treated before you use them, especially for food.


 
How about a natural wishing tree, a perfect way for guests to leave little messages, perfect for any event and what a great way to keep a reminder of the day, find a little matching box and treasure those memories for always
 

 
Feeling creative? what about making your own table place stands?
 
 
 
One of the great things with a rustic event is that you can get away with so much, here they have used a mish mash of wooden chairs, I think you will agree it really works.
 
Hopefully I have given you some food for thought! don't hold back, use your imagination and remember that part of the fun is personalising your event, giving your guests talking point and creating a wow factor.
