Country Fair/Bazaar
Think
picnic tables and a casual setting with hamburgers, hot dogs, finger
sandwiches, corn on the cob, fried dough, and cotton candy.
Incorporate different crafts into your centerpieces, and display
quilts or tablecloths with flowers on them. Play old-fashioned music,
and square or line dance together. You may also want to have games set
up such as potato sack races, or apple bobs. Send homemade cookies
home with your guests.
Tropical Beach
Even
if you are stuck on land, a beach theme can be fun and exciting to
create. Decorate with seashells, fake palm trees, beach balls,
sandcastles, surfboards, sharks, etc. Use pails with shovels and sand
for centerpieces. Serve your guests with foods from the Caribbean, and
then send them off with fresh mangos, limes, and bananas.
Hollywood
You’ll have the red carpet roll out for you if you choose a
dazzling Hollywood type theme. Directors chairs are great for the
bride and groom to sit in, as well as cameras placed around the
location pointed towards the guests. Dress in rich gold colors with
rhinestones and costume jewelry. Serve your guests an elegant meal
complete with a light fish and white wine. Hand
out wedding photos autographed by you and your new spouse.
Circus
A
ceremony at the big top is a very fun and exciting theme. Have your
guestbook attendant dress up as a clown, and your Officiant as the
ringmaster. You, your future spouse, the bridesmaids, and the
groomsmen should all wear bright and bold colors. Decorate with
animals, balloons, bright streamers, nets, etc. Feed your guests
hotdogs, corndogs, cotton candy, popcorn, and peanuts. Send them off
with their own box of animal crackers.
Historical Site – Indoor or
Outdoor
A good idea for a wedding
at a historical site is to dress up as the people who first lived
there. Serve foods that they ate, have similar music and dances, and
send your guests off with a souvenir from a gift shop in that area
that has a picture of the site itself.
Skiing or Snowboarding
This
is a great theme if you are having a Winter wedding, however you may
want to think about how formal you want it to be. You don’t want to
be standing out in the snow for an hour in your wedding dress.
Instead, dress everyone up in full gear, and ski or snowboard down the
“aisle”. Serve your guests hot chocolate after the ceremony, and
have your reception catered at a hotel or restaurant nearby. Send your
guests off with a warm pair of gloves or a new ski/snowboard hat.
