Unusual Wedding Ideas

I have been doing a lot of writing on weddings lately. Here are some tips I came up with.

1. BBQ Bash. This can have a southern, western, or even sports theme. Potluck can be added by asking people to bring a dessert. The possibilities are endless.

2. Oriental Wedding. Again, this can be ultra formal, have a Chinese restaurant cater dinner, hire a sushi chef to make rolls, and serve mini-pad thais as an appetizer. A supper formal theme could follow the Orient Express 1940 style in dress and tux, with Chrystal and champagne. Ultra informal, would have the meal delivered by the local restaurant. However, alert the Caterers so they are not embarrassed by the good natured ribbing they will walk into.

3. Bowl A themed bowling party is big fun -- “casual attire” . Some alleys offer private rooms for the meal. Stage competitions between the two families, or do boys vs. girls, and give awards at the end of the night. The night can end in a BBQ

4. Casino Wedding - lights, glamour, fun. Send out invitations on customized playing cards, and decorate surfaces with chocolate poker chips. Even if you do not use a room at the Casino, it is a fun way to fill the night.

The bridal party can take turns dealing blackjack, poker, and other card games (or hire a real dealer), or for something tame consider, bingo matches and having raffle prizes.

These are some great ideas to help you get started. One casual wedding I attended had wedding cameras at every table. Every guest was asked to take the roll of pictures, develop them, and then give them back to the bride.
