Your friends and family are at your wedding for just one reason – to celebrate with you! To make this time pleasant and unstresfull for them, check out our simple ceremony ideas.
Preceremony Cocktails
The pre-ceremony cocktail hour is a good opportunity for your guests to relax and to know each other. But it works only if your ceremony venue is not a temple or church. For sure your friends and family won’t be expecting any drinks before starting wedding. And it will be very nice surprise. Better not serve strong cocktails and alcoholic drinks. And don’t forget to speak with your caterer about cleaning all stray glasses before ceremony begins.
Wedding reception lounges.
Such lounges have become a very popular thing in recent years. It’s a great opportunity for guests to cool and relaxfrom all the dancing! Fill the lounge not just with sofas, and chairs, many pillows and curtain to create a VIP vibe for your friends.
Welcome bags.
It’s a very nice opportunity to show your love and appreciation to your guests. There is a huge number of small things you can put into such bags: jars with honey, jam, olive oil, key chains, sweets, chocolate, whiskey, beer, snacks etc. Some couples just make a funny “hangover kits” with medicine which will be necessary the next day). Don’t forget to add “Welcome” note or card to your welcome bags.
Baby sitter.
It’s a high probability that kids will be at your wedding. To hire a babysitter is a perfect idea. Family with kids will really appreciate it. If you have such opportunity, allocate separate room with snacks, toys and blankets for naps. They will not disturb their parents and will have a great time too.
