Entertainment ideas

Do you actually want the wedding to last until late?

We are having a small wedding with a lunch and then leaving for our honeymoon around 6pm. There's no law that says the wedding has to finish after 11pm!

I think a caricaturist could be really fun at a small wedding. Things we have seen done before with a smaller wedding includes getting guests involved a bit more, with a hunt/challenges or a quiz/ game of some sort, as this is not often possible with a larger wedding.

Otherwise think out the box a little with something like dance lessons or cocktail making lessons etc.

A bit of advice with smaller weddings is to concentrate on wedding details and really make them quirky and about your characters. Details can keep things interesting and fun, like having lots of photos of you guys growing up and together for people to look through.

I'd go for a magician - you need a really good one though, that has a large repertoire of tricks. Someone like Mark Waddington.

If it's October, could you make use of the darker evenings - perhaps with a mini fireworks display?

If not a fan of fireworks, perhaps you could make your desserts as a group activity with a professional?

Or perhaps a quiz?

I’m having this same issue now. Small wedding and a disco sort of thing would just be awkward with so few guests.

Obviously it is a bit each to their own for entertainment, something I intend to do at my wedding (we do have quite a number of children) is have things like skittles and ring toss, maybe a little basketball hoop etc that tipsy adults can enjoy in the evening after the kids have gone to bed, but I appreciate that sort of thing isn't everyone's cup of tea. Maybe have music from a laptop or iPhone but at a slightly lower level so people can still talk but still feels like a party. Is the room a good size for 10? Not so big u feel like u have to stick to a corner?
