• Make out-of-town guest feel special – Show them how much you appreciate them traveling to be part of your special day. Give them a welcome bag or basket filled with snacks, bottled water, and maybe a list of local restaurants, coffee shops, local attractions and such. You could even include some local treats like cheese or candy and a bottle of wine.
• Keep the ceremony brief – Everyone came to share this special day, but they won’t enjoy a long, drawn-out production. You don’t want to lose their attention, so keep the actual proceedings brief but memorable.
• Let guests make song requests – This is an excellent way to get people out on the dance floor during the reception party.
• Make sure you greet each guest – It’s important to greet each of your guests personally. Visit their table, join them on the dance floor, or have a short chat over a drink.
• Pay close attention to the seating arrangements – You want your guest to have fun and can enjoy the company of those at their table. Group your guest together according to interests, background, etc.
• Create a signature cocktail – You and your groom can pick a few special drinks that will appeal to your guests while also helping cut down on the costs of a full bar.
• Be sure toasts and speeches are too long-winded – This is a tough one. Speeches are an integral part of wedding ceremonies, but your guests don’t want to sit still too long.
• A DIY bar is always a hit – You could include a build your own sandwich area or have an outdoor cigar bar, or a sundae or dessert bar.
• Serve some late-night snacks – If the party goes on late into the night, some of your guests will get hungry again. They’ll enjoy a mini-grilled cheese, or some coffee and donuts or whatever you think will be tasty.
• End the night on a high note – Give your guests a festive farewell like a firework, or a sparkler exit. The choices are endless. Make it fun.
