When planning for your wedding you don’t want to forget about the guest experience. You want to show your guests that you appreciate the time and effort it took for them to be in attendance. These quick tips are sure to leave your guests ranting and raving about your big day!
Make Your Wedding Social
We all know that everyone loves to show-off what they’re doing on social media. Give guests a chance to share the pictures they take at your wedding with a special hashtag. Use a sign to display the hashtag at the entrance of your wedding ceremony or reception. Then after your wedding you can go back to the hashtag and see all of the fun pictures that guests posted! Making your wedding social will show guests that you appreciate their attendance.
Provide Extra Activities
Giving guests a few extra activities to participate in at your wedding reception is a great way to mix things up! For example, if you have some room in your budget hire a caricature artist to keep your guests laughing. Another fun way to keep guests involved is to have a photo booth. Place some fun dress up items outside the photo booth then encourage guests to take silly pictures with their loved ones. Older guests and guests who want a break from dancing won’t get bored with these extra activities!

Have Games for Children
Almost all weddings are guaranteed to have children in attendance. A great way to wow your guests is to provide games for the kids. Some brides are even choosing to have a "kid's corner" at their receptions. You can fill this corner with coloring books, card games, or even fort building toys. Not only will the kids be having so much fun, but the parents will thank you too!
Ask for Song Requests
A great way to get your guests involved on the dance floor is to ask for song requests. A simple way to do this is to place “song request” cards at the center of your reception tables. Don’t forget to remind guests about the cards at the beginning of the night. Have a bowl by the D.J. or band where guests can drop off their song requests. When guests hear their songs played throughout the night they will be excited to get up and dance!
Give Useful Wedding Favors
No matter what your budget is there are several useful wedding favors to choose from that your guests will enjoy. For example, pick out some scented soap or delicious jam if most of your guests are having to stay in a hotel. They'll love having something special to use on their trip!
