Beyond the fact that getting married is a ceremony marking the start of your new life as a couple, don’t lose sight of the fact that it’s also the reason for a great party! Of course, you want to make the day something to remember for your guests – so here are some clever inspirations from Birkat Elyon. For over three decades, we’ve helped smart couples with high-quality cubic zirconia engagement and wedding rings (meaning, more money for the festivities!). Take these fun wedding ideas and make ‘em your own.
TURN YOUR GROOMSMEN INTO SUPERHEROES
Make the day even more fun by having the groomsmen sport superhero-themed tees under their suits. This can make for a fun photo op as they display their “superpowers.” On a similar note, little ringbearers can wear a cape as they come down the aisle.
PUT YOUR BRIDAL PARTY IN CUSTOM SUNGLASSES
Like the “superhero” idea for the groomsmen, funky sunglasses for your bridal besties will create a memorable photo op (not to mention a great keepsake).
HIRE INTERACTIVE PERFORMERS
Who wouldn’t want “Prince” or “Madonna” doing their thing at your reception? The entertainment factor goes way up with a great celebrity impersonator getting everyone on their feet. You could also opt for aerialists flying high above the venue or “mermaids” in a swimming pool. The trend is for elements that will make a big impression as your guests enter the reception area.
HIRE A FOOD TRUCK FOR LATE NIGHT MUNCHIES
It’s kind of a given that your guests will burn through their reception dinner with the dancing and partying. A cool food truck parked outside the venue is the perfect way to satisfy those cravings.
THINK OUTSIDE THE WEDDING VENUE
What if your party is a casual clambake on the beach? Maybe an upscale bowling alley? There’s no rule saying you have to have your reception at the standard “wedding factory.” Go for an idea that you think would be fun for the people in your life.
ACT LIKE A KID
Adult-sized bounce houses and ball pits are guaranteed to bring out the “inner child” in your guests – and generate a lot of laughs.
GO GLAM
Make your guests feel like they’re walking the red carpet at a Hollywood event with a 360 video cam like the ones used for those awards shows.
HAVE A “SILENT DISCO”
One of the biggest issues some guests have with a reception is that the music can be so loud, that no one can hear themselves talk. You don’t have to forego the funky grooves: a new trend is to offer guests wireless headphones. They can rock out on the dance floor – and to make it even more fun, consider having a couple of deejays playing different styles on different “channels” that guests can toggle between. You could even turn it into a silent “dance battle”!
Consider your wedding a chance to showcase your own personality and creativity. There are no rules saying it has to be one way or another. Thinking “outside the box” is one reason that the quality cubic zirconia jewelry offered by Birkat Elyon is so popular: there’s no reason to spend a ton of money on diamonds when our dazzling selection is virtually indistinguishable from “the real thing” and saves you so much money.
