A wedding is often described as one of the more significant events in life. No wonder then that almost every young couple approaches the organization of not only the wedding ceremony itself, but most importantly the wedding party that follows, in a very creative manner, often providing much more than just fun until dawn and the traditional 'oczepiny'. But how to surprise wedding guests? We present 12 inspiring suggestions!
How to surprise guests at a wedding? Plan an outdoor wedding
Outdoor weddings have been gaining popularity for at least a few seasons now. A wedding in the mountains, by the sea, lake, or in a charming garden is the dream of many a young couple – and it is indeed possible to fulfill! At Hotel Belmonte, we have a beautiful green area with a mountain view, which we can arrange according to the wishes of the young couple. It is the ideal scenery for a wedding ceremony – it's hard to find a more picturesque place to say 'I do'!
Want to surprise your wedding guests? Discover themed buffets
Polish weddings have always been associated with lavishly laid tables. However, it is worth considering diversifying the dishes and drinks served at the wedding – themed buffets are perfect for this, and are also an additional attraction for the evening.
Rural table
An excellent suggestion for a themed buffet is a rural table with delicacies such as meats, sausages, pâtés, bacon, pork neck, kabanos sausages, pickles, lard, or country bread. It's a traditional accent at a wedding, and at the same time a great complement to the menu and an original decoration of the reception – the buffet can be styled as a rural or highlander table.
Sweet table
Sweets cannot be missing at a wedding – however, you do not have to limit yourself to just a cake and ordinary pastries. For couples who want to go beyond the usual schemes and are looking for the best ideas, we propose a stylized sweet table, which delights with a variety of treats. A chocolate fountain, unique desserts, elegant cookies? Sweets are matched to the color scheme and theme of the celebration and served on beautiful dishware, captivating with their extraordinary form and fantastic taste.
Alcoholic buffets
When deciding to diversify the menu at the wedding, it is also worth considering the alcoholic beverages served that evening. Alcoholic buffets are an interesting option, especially at smaller receptions, where they provide an excellent alternative to bar service. The alcohol buffet offers various spirits and additions, with the help of which guests can compose their own drinks.
How to surprise wedding guests? Wedding attractions
While delicious food and beverages are an integral part of a Polish wedding, enriching the menu is not the only way to surprise guests. Great ideas also include additional wedding attractions, which will make the reception memorable not only because of the unique location or excellent cuisine but also due to the excellent entertainment and fun for the guests.
Professional bartenders
Professional bar service is one of the more popular wedding attractions chosen by young couples. The service includes comprehensive bar service by experienced bartenders, who especially for wedding guests create wonderful cocktails, turning their preparation into a fascinating show. Depending on the preferences of the young couple, a specially composed cocktail menu may apply during the ceremony.
Wedding photo booth
A photo booth is a well-known, but very popular and liked wedding attraction, provided by many couples to their guests. Above all, posing for photos in this case is fantastic fun – thanks to the available gadgets. Guests can take pictures on their own or with the young couple, thus gaining a unique souvenir with a humorous touch. Photos from the photo booth can also be used to decorate the guest book.
Ice cream rickshaw
An ice cream rickshaw is an original attraction perfect not only for a retro-themed wedding. The rickshaw is designed for self-service by guests and can be positioned inside or outside the wedding hall. And most importantly – the attraction will surprise both the youngest and the slightly older participants of the event equally.
Animations and activities for children
Do children get bored at weddings? Not at all! What's more, they not only don't have to get bored but above all can have a great time. At Hotel Belmonte, we offer the organization of a kids' corner in the Guest Manor or animations conducted by professional animators, during which the youngest have provided such attractions as movement games to the rhythm of music, balloon modeling, face painting, or arts and crafts.
Cotton candy
A cotton candy machine does not have to be associated only with children's parties. If there are little ones among the wedding guests, sweet and colorful cotton candy will surely delight them and become one of their favorite attractions.
How to surprise wedding guests? Room decoration
If you want to surprise guests at a wedding, you should also consider the decoration of the room itself, which serves as the setting for the reception and should be perfected in every detail.
Light decorations at a wedding
Properly selected lighting can wonderfully highlight the beauty of the room – especially in the evening. In addition, light arrangements give a climatic character to the interior and can look amazing in photos. How are the most popular light decorations? For a wedding reception, lanterns, sparklers, spark fountains, a LOVE light sign, retro lamps, and LED light decorations are most often chosen.
Floral room decorations
Floral compositions are almost a mandatory element of any wedding room arrangement. At Hotel Belmonte, however, we know how to choose them according to the character and style of the reception, causing quite a surprise among guests. When planning floral arrangements, we take care of every detail – decorations on tables, including flowers, napkins, tablecloths, or candles, next to which stand thematic gifts for guests, and moreover, stylized decorations on buffets, at the entrance to the room, or the place where the guest book is available.
Heavy fog for the first dance
The first dance of the young couple is a highly symbolic moment of the wedding celebration. How to ensure its proper setting? Heavy fog will turn the newlyweds' dance into a magical spectacle, giving it a somewhat mysterious, yet fairy-tale character.
