Truly, most wedding guests loathe the idea of wedding ceremonies (church or mosque) as opposed to wedding reception parties. Since there's every possibility that food and even the couple may arrive at the venue late, quite a number of guests come to the reception at a later time. If you're concerned about keeping the interests of your guests, here are 6 ways you can save them from boredom.
Photo Booth
Who does not love a beautiful photo booth and the opportunity to take memorable snapshots? Photo booths at weddings serve as a great means of entertainment and how best to capture one's mind if not with entertainment.
Guests can spend time with loved ones at the booth while they await the bride and groom's return from the church for the reception to start. If you think a booth is a cliche for you, you can get mindblowing backdrops with great lightings and a photo-sharing app.
Signature Appetizer(s) and Drink
You can decide to make sure a bar is available and accessible to your guests. It won't be a bad idea if the bar is in more than one location because it is not a beautiful sight to have guests queuing to have a drink how much more another. It makes the reception rowdy. Having a mixologist present will be a needed advantage.
Music
It is important to have great and beautiful music on standby for your guests. Most times guests have to wait at a closed reception or a-no-activity reception because the bride and groom are yet to leave the wedding venue for the reception. Make sure your choice of venue can accommodate your guests waiting at their seats and grooving to amazing music.
Hire a Competent MC
The MC has to be at the venue before the guests arrive. Asides from being punctual, the MC has to be great at his/her job; you do not want to go to the reception of guests bored out of their minds.
Fabulous Meal
You need to get yourself an amazing caterer who specializes in varieties. When your guests have a good meal, they are happy. Best be assured they will not stop talking about your big day and the amazing meal they had.
Remember the Programme
Above all, you must stick to the schedule, the programme was created for a reason.
As much as attendance at your wedding is a privilege, it might not be a pleasure to some of your guests. Therefore you have to try your best to prevent your guest from constantly glancing at their watches.
