Want to make planning your wedding much more fun? Feel like too many people have a wedding that’s a little too stuffy and a little too serious? Perhaps you want a shot of adrenaline to help you get over your nerves? If any of that is true, then here is how a funfair themed wedding might be right for you.
Fun under the stars
Choosing the venue of your reception is going to be a big deal for many, but a fairground wedding lets you play it simple and cool with an outdoor bash. Naturally, this had best be saved for the better seasons of the year and you might want to invest in some outdoor heating appliances. However, outdoor weddings are super relaxed and laid-back ways to celebrate your big night and there are few things more magical than enjoying your new marriage under the stars.
Have a host of fairground attractions to play with
Make sure that the funfair theme isn’t just for show. Give your guests the opportunity to play, have fun, and generally enjoy a much lighter atmosphere with the help of some fairground games and attractions. For instance, you could rent out coconut shies, a carousel, Test Your Strength booths and more. To really wow your guests, you can even invest in funfair dodgem hire. Work with a local operator and you could create a real fairground on your wedding day.
Bring the sweets and treats
Of course, it’s not really a fairground night if you don’t have some delicious fairgrounds sweets to eat up with it. This is likely best saved for after the dinner (since you don’t want people to spoil their appetites) but you could bring a candy floss machine, provide candy apples, hire doughnut and waffle carts, or even have some bring a barbecue cart for savour snacks like hot dogs and nachos.
Make it a night to remember
A funfair themed wedding is going to be hard for any of your guests to forget, but you can ensure they will always remember it fondly with the right take-home goodies. A little bag of funfair sweets for every guest with some kind of commemoration should work just fine, but if you really want to bring the theme to life, you might want to look at wedding photo booth hire, as well. You can even get booths complete with wacky costumes and props for them to mess around with.
Be bright and colourful
When it comes to the decor of the reception, with table settings, centrepieces and the like, then it’s all about choosing colourful, exciting designs. Rainbow striped bags, festoon lighting, scattered confetti, tassels and the like will all bring out the theme very nicely.
A funfair wedding is certain to be an unexpected choice by many in your family, but they’re more popular than you might think. With the tips above, hopefully, you’ve started to get some inspiration of your own on how to bring a bit of child-like magic to your big day.
