Wedding Ceremony Weekend Activities

By Marshall Chicoine


Weekend weddings are becoming more popular, specifically as families are spread out further apart. They typically begin on Friday night, continue with the wedding Saturday and conclude with a post-wedding morning meal on Sunday prior to everybody returns home.

Planning tasks for these weekend-long parties does not have to be challenging; in fact, it can be quite a bit of fun if you keep everyone's demands in mind. First, think about the wedding. Will this be a formal wedding with a sit-down supper at its? If so, you could wish to ban an official rehearsal dinner and replace it rather with a casual barbecue supper or picnic.

But how will you keep individuals occupied throughout the vacation? There are many activities to think about. Will the wedding be near a lake? How about planning a day at the lake on Saturday, filled with pre-wedding tasks like swimming races and beach volleyball.

Prior to the wedding weekend, a list of meaningful items should be drawn up, and guests put in 2 teams. You will have to tailor the scavenger search list to the area of the wedding and the energy of the guests who will be taking part.

You can even offer lavish rewards for the group that succeeds the scavenger hunt, such as gift certifications or premium food and wine baskets. It may appear an apparent selection to divide the groups into teams who understand or are associated with the new bride and teams who understand or are connected to the groom, however it might be a little even more enjoyable to mix it up a bit. You can develop teams of friends versus family, or ladies versus guys (always a popular option).

Another task that's popular throughout wedding weekends is a competitive sport task, such as baseball or flag football. Again, add an unique twist. Offer rewards for performance (first home run gets a kiss from the bride-to-be) or make silly rules, like members of the bridal celebration need to put on tiaras while running bases or members of the bridegroom's household ought to constantly have their shirts on backwards.

It is very important that during the wedding weekend, coordinators keep in mind that the weekend itself might be pricey for some guests, especially those who needed to fly in for the event and numerous of the activities must be complimentary, or cost-effective. If they are more expensive, and planned for the entire team, they need to be paid for by either the couple or their families.

However there are lots of tasks that don't have to be costly, but can offer huge bang for the little buck, such as the scavenger hunt suggested above. If the wedding weekend visitors will primarily be household, you can schedule a home movie-viewing event, consisting of house films from both the bride and groom's families. For even more enjoyable, consider an activity where the motion pictures are mixed and the visitors need to guess which household's videos they are seeing. This could sound simple, however depending upon the contents, it could be hard, particularly if the bride and groom are infants in the images.

Will this be an official wedding with a sit-down supper at its? Prior to the wedding weekend, a list of meaningful items must be drawn up, and visitors put in 2 groups. You will have to tailor the scavenger quest list to the location of the wedding and the energy of the guests who will be taking part.
