Live wedding painter

I love when our couple decided to get a live wedding painter! This wedding in particular the groom surprised his wife with a painter, and she did a replica of her dress and bouquet!

There are other live painters that will recreate a scene from your wedding as well. It is always fun for you and your guests to see the painting come to life throughout the evening! Plus it is a unique way to capture your day!

2. Llamas or other barn yard animals

Is there anything more fun than getting your picture taken with adorable Llamas? This picture is actually from our wedding, we hired Llamas from Carlson’s Loveable Llamas to greet our guests as they came into our ceremony, and they stayed around for the social hour to take photos with guests as well! This is our go-to when couples want a little something quirky for their guests!

3. Sip N’ Solve

Sip n’ Solves are not only a way for your guests to get to know you as a couple better, but they also are great for getting your guests to interact with each other!

4. A coffee cart!

A coffee cart might be my favorite! It energizes your guests, and the coffee from Coffee Cart is SOOOOOOO GOOD! This can be a pre-ceremony and social hour activity, or it can be something that comes for after dinner and dancing!

5. Interactive food stations

There are so many interactive food ideas, but one of my favorite is a build your own smores indoors! North Mallow is a great company that will come out and set up a cute table with gourmet chocolate and home made marshmallows!!! Seriously, guests love this and couples do too!

6. Photobooth

We love a good photobooth, after guests get some drinks in them, they love it too! The best are ones that are super interactive and have props! Northerly Photo Camper is one of our faves!

7. Tarot Card Reader

How fun would it be to have someone doing fortune telling, Tarot cards, or palm readings? Setting up a vibey little area for them to chat… I think this is such a fun and different idea!

8. Conversation cards at each table

Another activity that guests can do at their table, conversation starters!

9. Live musician mixed in with your DJ

This is always a hit at weddings, live music mixed in with your DJ! They play along to the DJ songs, and get in with the crowd dancing, it is seriously one of the best ways to keep your dance floor hoppin!
