caricature alternative wedding ideas from Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride)

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).

Just take a peek at these huge 36-inch balloons with gorgeous tassels that you can use as wall decor, a ceremony backdrop, a candy buffet backdrop, or as in the case here, reception chair decor. It’s like channeling childhood AND keeping it super classy.

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.
