When a bride and groom are planning a wedding, one of the biggest things that they are going to want to do is figure out ways to get everyone involved on their special day. Since most wedding guests lists are usually pretty long, that may seem like a big feat, but here are five ways for anyone to make their wedding an intimate event no matter how large the crowd.
- Take Pictures with Everyone: An easy way to get the guests involved is to wait until the reception and when everyone is seated. Then, the bride and groom go around from table to table and pose with each group, making sure that everyone is included in the photos from their big day. It’s a great way to get everyone involved and to get pictures of the entire crowd without it being too overwhelming for anyone.
- Share Memories: As everyone is eating, pass a microphone around and have anyone who wants to, share memories of the bride or groom from younger days. It’s a great way to get some laughs – and maybe a few tears – in. And, it makes everyone feel closer together, as they remember times of the past.
- Create a Hashtag: An easy way for the bride and groom to keep track of all of the pictures that their guests take over the course of the day is to create a hashtag with their names and put up a sign for all of their guests to see, so that they use it when they post the pictures from the day to social media. That way, when the event is over, the bride and groom can go back and look over all of the pictures everyone has taken on their special day. It’s an easy way to access the pictures, and it encourages the guest to take more shots at the reception, capturing all of the crazy, fun moments.
- Set Up a Photo Booth: Another great way to make sure that everyone’s photo is captured on this special day is to set up a photo booth and to encourage their guests to take their own photos. Include some props and fun costumes and the guests will be having a blast.
- Let Everyone Pick the Songs: When the dancing begins, a great way to get everyone out there on the dance floor is to allow the guests to make requests to the DJ. Put up a sign letting them know that they can all play their favorite song, and everyone will be lining up to slow-dance to a sentimental song from their own wedding, or rock out to a current song that they just love. Letting everyone pick their favorites is a great way to end the night with a sense of community, and to get everyone involved and together before the night ends.
