Craft a quest adventure game for your reception
If you’re a gamer and want your reception to both celebrate games and give your guests rad ways to interact, this quest adventure game is right up your alley. Rebecca and Greg had a game-themed reception at Level 257, a Pac-Man-themed restaurant, arcade, and bowling alley in Illinois.

More than just advice, this is a THEMED advice guest book idea that you’ll want to steal
Sam and Justin’s Chicago Halloween wedding featured handmade costumes, vinyls, a flower girl throwing googly eyes, and a first look in a cemetery.

Have a reception caricature artist (as favors and entertainment!)
Marissa and Josh’s red rockabilly wedding featured a reception caricature artist sketching their guests. I fell in love with the idea that their guests would come away with a really amusing and customized piece of art after the wedding.
The best part if you’re trying to find the budget for a caricature artist: they can replace favors and even the DJ (if you’re not into dancing).
Use these funny bounce house rules to save your deposit
If you’re going to rent a bounce house/bouncy castle/moon bounce/inflatable castle (whew there are a lot of terms!) for your outdoor reception, you’ll need to make sure rowdy guests don’t go too wild in there. Having some well-explained and humorous bounce house rules on hand should ensure that you don’t have to pay any repair fees when it goes back.
