5 Things Guests Will Appreciate For Your Wedding

There’s a lot to think about when planning your wedding and ensuring it’s the perfect day for you. But it’s important to be aware that this isn’t just a day for you and your partner. You need to make sure that your guests have a great time too. By doing this, you can guarantee that your wedding is a tremendous success and that everyone has a great time. Here are some of the possibilities that you can explore.

Open Bar

We’re not saying that your wedding needs alcohol running to keep your guests happy and entertained. However, it could certainly help and it’s not as expensive as you might assume. If you’re using a catering service, then they’ll probably recommend this option to you. Usually, you will be able to pay a fixed rate rather than add up all the drinks that your guests dive into. Don’t forget, if you are having an open bar, you should also make sure that you have plenty of options for people who aren’t drinking. There will always be designated drivers at your wedding.

If you’re planning on providing the food and drink yourself, then you need to make sure that you have enough alcohol to sustain an open bar which can be quite tricky. At least one bottle per person is a smart choice here and if you’re worried that this is going to cause your budget to balloon, there’s no need. You just need to look for offers on alcohol when you go shopping.

Varied Menues

You need to think about the menus that you offer guests at your wedding as well. For instance, you need to make sure that you have options for different dietary requirements. You can allow guests to tell you about any dietary requirements when they RSVP. Key examples include vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free meals to name just a few that you should keep in mind. There are other possibilities too but this largely depends on who will be attending your wedding.

One of the easiest ways to guarantee a varied menu is with a buffet. That way you can guarantee that everything is included.

Awesome Entertainment

Next, you might want to think about the entertainment that you choose for your wedding. As with everything else when planning your wedding, there are a lot of different possibilities to explore here. However, you should always keep in mind the type of entertainment that your guests will want. For instance, music is important here. If you are planning to invest in the services of a musician or DJ, then you need to guarantee that they are great. You should always check the reviews of a service like this before committing to hiring them.

You can definitely include more than just music at your wedding too. For instance, you can think about investing in some fun party games. This is a great choice as it is going to help your guests feel like kids again and have some real fun at your wedding. For instance, you could set up a cornhole game for your guests to enjoy. This is also going to be a great idea if you are planning on having kids at your wedding as well as adults. It’s a sure way to ensure that you can keep them entertained too.

Forget The Poses

One thing that a lot of guests hate about attending weddings is having to pose for lots of different photos. You can deal with this issue by ensuring that you don’t include this type of wedding photography at your wedding celebration. Instead, you can think about using a documentary style photographer. You will find that a lot of professional wedding photographers do now advertise this service and it can be quite wonderful. With this option your wedding photographer will essentially act as one of your guests, interacting with people at your wedding.

At the same time, they will work to get shots of things that you may have missed at your wedding. This could include fun reactions to speeches or shots of your first dance. They may even get the look in your partner's eyes when you say I do. This is an incredibly exciting and romantic concept which a lot of couples love the idea of.

The big benefit for your guests is that they won’t have to spend a lot of time posing for different shots at your wedding. It will also make your wedding far more streamlined.

Easy Location

Regardless of where your wedding is being held, you should make sure that it is an easy place for your guests to access. To guarantee this, you need to think about transport links. Don’t pick a place that is difficult for your guests to reach by public transport. Remember, many of them won’t want to drive, particularly if you are going to take our advice and have an open bar. You should also check that the venue you choose does provide secure parking. If it doesn’t, then this could definitely be an issue for some of your guests because they will want to make sure that their car remains secure throughout your celebration.

It’s possible that you are planning a destination wedding. There is nothing wrong with this idea. However, many guests will expect you to at least contribute to their travel. Particularly, if the location in question is quite far away. This is something that you may need to factor into your budget, even if a lot of guests don’t take you up on this offer.

You might also want to think about whether there are places to stay nearby. A lot of venues that you can choose will provide accommodation and this is often going to be ideal.
