As more and more families are becoming separated, with members often living in different parts of the country, weekend weddings are becoming increasingly popular. In this case families usually assemble on Friday evening, the wedding takes place on the Saturday and then the guests depart for home on Sunday after breakfast.
Although the centerpiece of the weekend will clearly be the marriage ceremony itself and the following reception, the weekend can seem somewhat long for the guests unless you organize some sort of activity for them. So, how do you go about this?
Well, the first thing you need to think about is the location for the weekend. For example, if it is to be held at a hotel near to a lake then what about setting up a number of activities around the lake for Saturday morning, perhaps with a barbecue lunch, and then schedule the wedding ceremony for late afternoon to be followed by an evening reception dinner? Depending on the number and ages of the people who will be attending you could hold swimming races, boating races or possibly a fishing competition.
One very popular activity at weekend wedding is a scavenger hunt. There are many different ways in which a scavenger hunt can be planned but essentially the idea is to divide your guests into two teams and then set the teams a series of tasks. For example, one task might be that the team must collect a brochure from a specific store in the local town. Another task could be for the team to take a photograph of all of the team members at a particular spot or tourist attraction in the locality. The tasks will clearly vary according to the local area and the age and fitness of the guests, but it should be designed to keep them occupied for a reasonable amount of time without tiring them out too much.
