Photobooths – of course, they can add fun and sparkle to your wedding reception and even if the reception starts a bit late, your guests won’t be bored waiting for the newlyweds.
- Photo guestbooks – instead of having your guests sign in your guest books, they can have their photos taken instantly and have their messages and wishes written in your photobook.
- Video kiosks – more advanced than photobooths, you can also have videos taken with your guests saying their message of best wishes and congratulations. Isn’t that a good keepsake than the usual guest list?
- Hire a caricature artist – have your guests sketched by a good caricature artist during the reception. This can be added entertainment for the event and one of your unique wedding ideas for reception fun.
