What little extras are you having at your wedding for your guests to do/ enjoy.

Im doing a photobooth with prop.I'll also have a finger print tree, a flip flop basket, a memorial table, and signiture drinks.

Am I missing something? I feel like there should be something else I should do for the guests. Please help

TIA

We have about 2 hours between the church and reception, so we're having a 'hospitality' room at the hotel with games. I made personalized mad-libs, coloring books, fortune tellers, and word searches. We're also putting out games like apples to apples, pictionary, and cards. However, I don't think adults really need activities at the actual reception. A photobooth, drinks, and a good DJ should take care of it all!

Instead of a photobooth, we're getting a caricature drawer. FH and I are both very artistic and thought this was a nice personalized touch. We're also having a hot pretzel cart outside when people are leaving the RH. This way they can have something to soak up all the booze lol

We are giving favors, personalized matchbooks & cocktail napkins, striped straws, have a fingerprint guestbook tree and we are also going to be offering a hospitality hour with champagne and/or extending the cocktail hour due to the amount of time in between the church & the cocktail hour AND in 2 weeks, we are finalizing with our vendor that we will be getting a photobooth with props & video and all that good stuff, which I am psyched about!
At the end of the night my RH gives out to the guests chocolate dipped fruit to go!

This is a really good idea! I also have about a 2 to 3 hour wait between the ceremony and reception. GREAT IDEA!

I do too. We are considering doing something at the church so that no one has to go anywhere but i kind of like the idea of doing it at the hotel... did you have to pay for the room? Is there a cash bar or any food associated with it? Thanks.

We are having a photobooth and I was also thinking of doing a candy buffet since we will have some kids at the reception. I plan on having little things for the kids at their tables as well. I've recently looked into a popcorn and cotton candy cart but I think it may be a much to add that into our budget.

We are having a photobooth also, hospitality for right before the ceremony, signature drinks, and we are putting together bathroom amenity baskets in case something goes wrong and offering wraps for the ladies since our ceremony will (hopefully) be outside.

My god-mother is handling most of it for me. I know the room was 100 bucks for 2 hours and we can bring our own food and drinks. She's planning on providing wine, beer, soda and light snacks too. They said anything left in the room when it's over will be brought up to my room. My hotel is really amazing with their customer service. They have been so accommodating.
