Wow The Guests With These Amazing Wedding Activities! 🎨
What’s better than a wedding? Maybe YOUR wedding? 😍 This day is bound to be one you remember forever, and we bet your guests will to. However, wedding organization can be a bit of a burden. It’s the greatest day of your life but planning all the details can really be overwhelming (and that definitely is a euphemism), especially when you’re doing it all yourself. We know you’re a girl boss and can take care of the whole thing, but the secret is, you don’t have to! This is why Picta is always finding ways to make it all easier for you.
One thing that can get tricky (out of the many others) is to find a unique and special way to entertain the guests during the evening. You don’t NEED to do it but we bet you WANT to create a little something out of the ordinary to make your wedding unlike any other! From creating a guest book polaroid wall to making a personalized sweet treat station, we’ve compiled all the ideas that can put a fun twist to wedding traditions! To make sure the “garter toss” stays far away from your big day, scroll down to the rest of this article!
Wanna Make Your Wedding Original? You’ve Come to the Right Place! 🫶🏻
Enter the Photo Mania 📸
- Surprise Photo Message: Print your favorite photo of you and each one of your guests and put it in an envelope on their designated seat at the table! Provide some pens and markers and have the guests write a message behind the photo and put it in a special box! You’ll end the wedding with personalized and thoughtful messages from all your favorite people who were there to witness this unique day!
- Who’s the Bride? Now, this is what we call a fun and original twist to the usual “who’s the baby” activity! Ask the married guests to send you a photo of themselves when they got married, print them all out, and stick them on a nice-looking board that you’ll bring to the wedding reception. The game will then be to match the people in the room to their wedding alter ego!
- Create a Guest Book Polaroid Wall: All you need for this fun activity is one (or a few) polaroid cameras and a decorative board! Have the guests snap pics of themselves during the evening and pin the polaroids on the board! They can even write a little message on it. This will be 10 times better than the traditional wedding guest book!
- DIY Photo Garland: As a twist to the previous activity, you can make photo garlands using polaroids and fairy lights! String some fairy lights around the room, provide the guests with some wooden pegs, and have them hang their polaroids on the fairy lights - now, you just need to witness the magic happen as the decoration of the room slowly changes through the evening!

Choosing Team Creativity 🎨
- The Louvre is calling: Get a big canvas and prop it on an easel that you’ll leave in the reception room. Provide some pens, pencils, paint, sparkly markers, etc, and have your guests leave a little message, doodle, mini painting, or whatever they want on the canvas! You can then hang this work of art in your home as a reminder of that amazing day!
- It’s Origami time: Set up a table with pretty pastel colored paper and a lot of colorful pens/pencils with some easy instructions on how to make origami hearts (and we’re putting the emphasis on EASY to avoid drama)! The guests can then write some cute little love notes on the hearts for the happy couple!
- Satisfy their sweet tooth: We know the wedding cake is a necessity, but how about creating a cookie/cupcake/muffin station where the guests can personalize their own sweet treat? Get crazy with the toppings, frostings, chocolate, candy, and more, and let them create a sugar masterpiece tailored just to their liking!
- Picasso who? Another idea along the lines of the previously mentioned Louvre masterpiece is to make a painted fingerprint canvas with all your guests! Provide some painting with colors fitting the aesthetic you want (all pastels for a springy vibe, different hues of blue for a little beach ambiance, etc)
Interactive & Unique Experiences 💁🏻♀️
- Collective date jar: Set up a glass jar on each table and provide the guests with some little papers and colorful pens. Then, ask them to write down their best date idea (or ideas, let’s go big on the inspo)! This will allow you and your partner to make it through any date creativity slump of the next decade!
- Marriage advice book: Because marriage is a looong journey full of twists and turns, we can all benefit from a little collective wisdom! And your wedding is the perfect timing to gather it all! Get a pretty notebook and have the guests write down their favorite advice for a long, beautiful, and peaceful marriage!
- Let’s all hop on the playlist! Have you ever been to an event where the music is so boring you wished you could take over the aux? Well, to make sure the playlist at your wedding is to everyone’s taste, how about implementing a live band/DJ song request strategy where your guests write down the songs they want on a big board? From your 80 years old Granny to 20 years old cousin Debbie, they’ll all be shaking it on the dance floor!
- Ultimate couple trivia challenge: That’s a common one but it’s so fun we had to put it in! You just have to create a wide pool of different questions about the bride, the groom, and their relationship, and see which one of your guests knows you guys better! Wanna take it to the next level? Play it in teams!
