5 Fun Things to Include on Your Wedding Day That You Will Never Forget

When it comes to planning your wedding, it’s the little things that you remember most — the laughs, the surprises, and those magical moments that make everyone say, “Now that was a wedding.” If you're looking to add some extra fun to your day and keep the energy high, here are six playful, photo-worthy ideas that can help make your celebration unforgettable (and look amazing in your wedding album too).

1. Champagne Pop or Spray Photos

Want to start the party early? A champagne pop — or even better, a full-on spray — is a great way to add some sparkle to the day. Whether you’re popping a bottle during the getting ready photos or outside with your wedding party, it’s a burst of fun that makes for epic shots. Bonus: Ask your photographer to set up flashes at night and catch an incredible shot with your spouse.

2. A Sparkler Send-Off

End the night on a literal high note with a sparkler send-off. It’s a classic for a reason. Guests get involved, the photos glow, and it’s a magical way to close out your best day ever. Pro tip: designate someone to hand out sparklers and light them at the right moment — timing is everything!

3. A Photo Bomb Line Up

This is a great way to make sure you get a photo with everyone there. Seat yourself in the dancefloor and have the guests line up for quick photo bomb style shots with you. The DJ can play a song or two while all 200 people run through the frame. You never know what hijinks your guests will get up to.

4. A Unique Guest Book Alternative

Skip the traditional sign-in book and let your guests leave their mark in a fun way. Polaroid selfies with notes, a phone audio guest book, or even signing a vinyl record — the sky’s the limit. You’ll smile every time you look (or listen) back.

5. A Private Last Dance

Once the crowd has cleared and the lights dim, sneak in a private last dance. It’s a quiet, intimate way to soak up the moment and reflect on the day together. No cameras, no guests — just the two of you.
