No dancing? No worries! We know that right now, there are limits in terms of what you can do to entertain your guests at your wedding. Well, don't worry, because there are still so many wonderful types of entertainment that will have your guests in awe. Your guests are sure to be delighted with these wedding entertainment ideas that are seriously COVID safe.
Sparks Fly...
Enjoy your first dance as Mr and Mrs with your favourite song and a sparkly firework display that will leave your guests in awe. We know rules on dancing are strict, but you can still put on a seriously romantic show! We suggest choosing a song that is longer than usual or perhaps a remix of a few of your favourite songs so you can extend this moment and really entertain your guests. We guarantee your loved ones will absolutely adore getting to witness this magical moment.
Invite your guests to a wine or spirits tasting...
This unique and creative idea is totally unique and we LOVE it! Host your very own live tasting of your favourite wine or spirits. Firstly, pick a theme such as a tasting from a local vineyard or brewery. We suggest choosing one that is special to your relationship and sentimental to you both, for example, from the winery you got engaged at. Then, have a bartender or the emcee guide you through the tasting during the reception! We love this interactive idea!
Bride and Groom Trivia...
This is a great idea to get the whole room involved and interacting without even moving from their chair! At each guest's seat place a cute sheet (on theme with your wedding stationery, of course!) with some trivia questions about you two. For example, they could be true or false questions, fill-in-the-blank, or even multiple choice. Guests can fill out the questions throughout the evening, with the emcee reading off the answers. Whoever gets the most correct wins! Reward them with your throwaway bouquet or garter (given these games cannot be played with the restrictions in place).
Get That Shot...
Give your guests creative freedom and encourage them to get snap-happy by placing a disposable camera on each seat! We love the idea of these even doubling as a wedding favour! Keep them entertained and having fun without even moving from their table. The best part is they get to capture the evening in ways your photographer couldn't and have their own memories to look back on.
Offer a Build-Your-Own Cocktail Cart...
What could more interactive than building your own cocktail? Have the bartenders go from table to table offering a base beverage, such as a gin and tonic, then encouraging the guests to add their own garnishes from the selection available. You could even have a few of the classics like an espresso martini or an Aperol spritz and entice the guests to switch it up with their own ideas! No guest has to leave the table and they get to drink the bespoke cocktail they just created!
Magical Moments...
Entertain your guests with a magical entertainment experience! Entice them with card games or a magical illusion and whatever else your magician may have up his sleeve! We love this idea as it's a great way to keep your guests entertained without having to move around. Really, who doesn't love a magic show!
Let Me Entertain you...
Of course, live entertainment is still a wonderful idea for your wedding! During the time they would normally be dancing, you can keep them seated but make sure they are having the best time! Our suggestions? Think fire dancers, Brazilian dancers and trapeze artists!
Trip Down Memory Lane...
Create a video of your relationship highlights and play it in the bracket that you would usually have dancing. Remember to include all the milestones in your relationship like an anniversary, your first holiday together and of course, your engagement!
