10 Last-Minute Wedding Ideas - Peerspace
You put a lot of focus on your wedding venue, food, and attire that you completely forgot to add some games into the mix. You can never go wrong with a last-minute wedding idea like the shoe game. It is a classic activity where both the bride and groom are put to the test to see who knows the other better. Set up two chairs back to back. Have the bride and groom sit down, take off their shoes, and swap one. The idea is that each person will have one of their own shoes and one of their partner’s shoes. A host asks questions, and each one lifts the shoe of the person who fits the answer best. Trust us, untamed and boisterous laughter ensues as the couple fumbles through the answers, shoe in hand! We especially love this classic Chicago wedding reception venue as the backdrop, available on Peerspace.
4. Breaking the ice with Mad Libs
You may know everyone on the guest list, but your guests may not know each other. Curate an inviting atmosphere with this great ice breaker! Mad Libs is a simple activity where you fill in the blanks of your short narrative with the answers from your guests. For each seat, attach a simple card that your guests can fill out. Setting it up beforehand gives your guests ample time to feel comfortable being in the spotlight. Gather the answers and read the best ones aloud. You will be sure to get some raucous laughter! Mad Libs can lighten up the room and help your guests loosen up.
Bring out your inner prince or princess and make your theme a fairy tale. From the whimsical decor to horse-drawn carriages, you can make yourself feel like royalty in this setting! Play favorite songs from Disney films and sing along or take a bite of delectable Mickey Mouse-themed cupcakes. You and your guests will enjoy magical accessories and decorations on your big day. Once the pieces are together, you will be walking down the aisle towards your happily ever after. And we think this Dallas venue is its own wonderland, and available on Peerspace today!
6. Be sustainable and eco-friendly at this LES venue
The little details make a difference. It can positively impact the world, starting with a sustainable-themed wedding. Use biodegradable materials when creating decorations for your wedding. Replace flowers with potted plants or succulents as the centerpiece of your tables. You can send out recycled invitations to those who live nearby so that travel is to a minimum and you can lower your carbon footprint. Your cuisine can be a farm-to-table concept, so you can support local farmers by using their fresh produce to create mouth-watering entrees. Talk about supporting the world and your community in one place! And you can do it all at a Peerspace venue, like this charming and sustainable venue in Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
7. Throw a cottagecore wedding
This theme is trending fast as the ‘new bohemian’ wedding. Imagine the English countryside, where you can walk along the clean meadow field, sitting casually on a rural farm, and taking your wedding shots by bubbling creeks. Aesthetics are everything in this last-minute wedding idea! Think of lighter hues and darker tones to create some depth and balance, string lights, and greenery arrangements for some added texture. Lastly, make your attire whimsical with simple embellishments, which evokes this intimate and homey vibe.
