6 Ways to Wow Your Guests at Your Wedding

There are several ways that you can have a "wow factor" at your wedding! You can wow your guests and really bring out the personalities of the bride and groom!

1. Don't make your cocktail hour just any cocktail hour, make it fun! This can include party games or if you are allowing kids at your wedding, have entertainment like a clown, a pony ride, or a juggler. Include a video of both the bride and groom welcoming guests to the wedding or a video of the bride and groom sharing how they met or special moments between the couple.

2. Choreograph a dance among the bride and groom and the bridal party creating a dance routine for the guests to enjoy! Have the choreographers attend the wedding to teach guests too!

3. Make your wedding digital! Use Instagram so that guests can share photos they take with the bride and groom. Have them use a hashtag (#) specifically for your wedding. Have tablets as each table featuring a video of the bride and groom telling guests what the specific number means to them.

4. Play up the season in which you are getting married. Getting married in the summer? Have a portable ice cream cart or candied apples at your cocktail hour. Getting married during winter? Have a hot chocolate station with various hot chocolate concoctions!

5. Go out in style! Leave on horseback (if the venue provides for it) or leave in a helicopter or hot air balloon. This is all if the location allows for it.
