Most unique thing you've seen at a wedding/ engagement party...

Original post by the future mrs m

I'm trying to come up with something special for our engagement party and wedding.

**I love the idea of a photo booth for the wedding and the guests take home their pic as a favor.

**I also like the idea of perhaps having someone to do caricature sketches at the engagement party.

Any other memorable ideas?

There is an entertainment company called Chazzam (I think that's how you spell it) who has all different types of entertainment you can hire for your wedding i.e. statues that come to life, acrobats and other pretty cool things.

ITs not THAT unique because i found it on here but we had a poloroid photo book at our eparty. The guests loved it and we got some funny pics and comments in there toward the end of the night...we read it the following morning and laughed our @sses off!!!!!



Where do you find those! I like that idea

I didn't think it was that unique but we had a casino at our wedding. The guests loved it.


OMG...FH asked me if we could have poker tables at the wedding......I told him half of the wedding would be gambling...



It was great, actually! Instead of traditional dancing, we had the casino and played all of our own music (Indie rock) - you can't really dance to it because it's pretty mellow, but all the guests were playing at the tables and chatting. We had so many positive comments. Even the grandma's were playing blackjack! The guys all loved it because many guys don't like to dance. It was really the best decision we made. The DJ company said 'even when we say it's a packed floor, the most we can expect is 30% of people dancing' - We had EVERY PERSON at the wedding except 2 gambling. It was fake money (with our pictures on it!) and we had prizes for the top 2 winners. We had some awesome pictures, too! You can read my review if interested.

We had 8 tables: 1 cr@ps, 1 roulette, 3 blackjack and 3 texas hold em (poker). The casino is priced by how many tables you have and the TYPE of tables you have. I think it came to $2,800 after we added a relief dealer and the custom money with our picture.

It was REALLY important to us to play OUR music, but we knew no one would want to dance to it, so we got the casino for our guests and had the music for us!

Thats a very important issue with me.....we are having a mixed cultural wedding...and Im afraid some guests will be bored and I think this is a lovely way to offset it.

Thats not pricey at all!

I've seen life size cardboard cutouts of the bride and groom posed so that guests can take pictures with them without actually stopping them to take a picture. It's pretty funny but I wouldn't want to see those pictures! LOL




thats original!



that's definitely original and unique!

we went to a wedding at the Glen Island Harbor Club and when you let the wedding the were handing out hot pretzles that had been warmed over one of those backyard firepits you see in stores now. they were so yummy after drinking. they were supplied by the hall and they gave out waters with the pretzles that were provided by the bride.

Yeha not a bad price at all, I would think it would be more. I love the pics on the money idea, but did it take away from people dancing or where they focused more on the tables or did people do both??

People gambled and then danced at the end, but we didn't care if people danced, we wanted people to do whatever they wanted - this way they had a choice!

This is an awesome thread. I was thinking about fireworks afterwards.
