How to keep my wedding guests happy?

9th March 2010 at 13:01

I'm getting married on April 10th at 10:00. Reception will follow at a Chinese Restaurant. I'm in desperate need of some entertainment ideas. I don't want the guests to be bored. Want them to enjoy the occasion. Ideas will be MUCH appreciated!

I have seen the little quiz books that are put on tables. They have all sort of questions about you and your groom, how you met, how long you've been together, first day etc etc with answers in the back. They sometime have your names on the front with a picture so that people can take them home with them as a wedding favor(i dont know if you do favors over there in S Africa but we do here in the US it's usually a lil trinket that have the coples name and date for guest to take with them)
Good luck!

Hmmm,
If the resturaunt has space maybe you could hire a band?
Chocolate and Champagne fountains can be fun too.
There are some really good entertainers around too, like magicians that could go around to your guests.

A friend of mine put disposable cameras on each table so the guests could take pictures etc - I think the most fun was watching each table trying to remember how old school wind along cameras worked!

i second the camera thing. my friend had camera's on her table but each camera had instructions like "take a picture of the youngest person there" "take a picture of the person with the longest hair" "take a picture of the groom making a funny face" stuff like that. trivia games about the couple are cute too. i went to a wedding where they had a candy buffet. it was really cool. they had lot of different candy in the wedding colors and each guest had a little chinese take out box and filled it up as their favor. maybe you can put together a slide show with pictures of you and your man as little kids then pictures of you growing up and pictures of you together and have it playing on a laptop near the cake or something?
