Here’s how you can make your wedding a total fun fest

Weddings are, of course, one of the biggest celebrations there is. However, while planning your wedding, it's essential to remember that it should be enjoyable not just for you but also for your guests. Realistically, you can’t ensure that everyone will have a great time, but it’s important to make an effort to make it fun. To help you create an unforgettable experience, we’ve compiled a list of unique ideas for your wedding that ditch the clichés. These ideas will ensure your special day is talked about for years to come.

Create a fragrance bar where guests can mix and match essential oils to create their own personalised scents. This unique idea adds a sensory experience to your wedding and provides guests with a memorable takeaway. These activities keep them engaged when they have time to kill in between wedding ceremonies. 

'90s toffee and candy stall

Take your guests on a nostalgic trip by recreating a '90s toffee and candy shop. Offer childhood favourites like paan toffees, jaljeera lollipops, phantom-sweet-cigarettes, and let them indulge their sweet tooth. It'll be a delightful walk down memory lane, especially for your older guests.

Bangle-making workshop

Give a hands-on cultural experience by setting up a bangle-making workshop led by skilled-local artisans. Guests can learn techniques and also get to take home customised bangles as souvenirs from the wedding.

Foot spa bliss

After all the dancing and celebrations, pamper your guests with a foot spa station. Set up comfortable chairs, footbaths, and a selection of soothing lotions and essential oils. It'll leave them feeling refreshed.

Interactive selfie booth

Selfie booths with fun props have become popular at Indian weddings, but you can take it up a notch by offering interactive digital animated backdrops and personalised filters with your names or wedding theme. 

Bollywood quiz night

Test your guests' Bollywood knowledge with a trivia night! Prepare questions on iconic movies, actors, and dialogues, and let the fun begin. This could make for the perfect segment on your sangeet night. 

Live caricaturist

Hire a talented caricature artist to create fun, exaggerated portraits of your guests in traditional Indian wedding attire. Set up a caricature station where guests can have their sketches drawn and take home a unique keepsake.

Dance-offs and competitions

Encourage a little friendly competition with dance-offs. Create a dance floor playlist that spans multiple genres to get everyone moving. You can even give away prizes for the best performances to keep the energy high.

DIY flower garland station

Have a DIY flower garland station where guests can create their own floral garlands or crowns. Provide a variety of fresh flowers and greens for guests to craft beautiful accessories. After all, who doesn’t like pretty flowers, right? 

Remember, the key is to mix and match elements that reflect your personality and style, making your wedding day truly one-of-a-kind. So, don't be afraid to think outside the box and incorporate unique elements that will make your wedding truly unforgettable for you and your guests.
