Wedding Activities That Are NOT Dancing

Unarguably, dancing is the most popular wedding “activity” that you encounter. However, dancing is not always everyone’s favorite, and can even be awkward for some crowds.

As a wedding planner, I often get asked this question

“We are not big dancers, what else can we do to entertain our guests?”. 

So, I’ve compiled a big list of fun ideas, activities, and entertainment for you and your guests that are a bit untraditional but definitely memorable! 

Photobooths - get creative, set up a few stations, or hire a company like Shooting Comet Camper to come with a fun camper, props and a full interactive photobooth experience!

Interactive guest books- think phone messages, video messages, interactive crafts, polaroid’s

Dance Class- technically this one is still dancing, but hiring a line dance instructor or swing instructor could be incredibly fun and interactive for everyone.
