Weddings are a time when you want your guests to have a gala time. Gone are the days when entertainment was limited to meal times and basic return gifts. Today, couples are going out of their way to thoughtfully engage their guests and create memorable experiences. Picture a wedding where your guests are entertained, involved, and amazed from start to finish.
What are some fun activities for guests at a wedding?
Popular ideas include scratch card games, magic mirror photo booths, audio guest books, DIY stations like bloom bars, mithai candle making, snack hampers and DIY bars, along with live engraving for favours, caricaturists, champagne walls, mithai melas, creative food counters, beer on tap, and karaoke nights.
Below, we share a brief on each of these ideas to help you choose what suits your wedding best.
Fun Scratch Cards!
This one is a fun game where you have to guess the bride card by scratching it off. It’s a fun game that can be played with the groom, who has to identify his bride from all the cards!
Mirror Mirror On The Wall
This magic mirror booth is such a fun interactive activity for guests. Do it on your cocktail night to get the best photos and videos. This mirror will click pictures, and share them on social media and the works. You cannot go wrong with this one!
Mithai Candle Station

Mithai candles are trending everywhere so why not have a fun station where your guests can make them too? This will double up as a gift and can make for such a fun activity!
DIY Bloom Bar
This is such a fun concept – a flower market or a bloom bar where your guests get to take home a bouquet of flowers. We love how that works as a favor and flowers are always a great idea!
Interactive Painting!
Don’t worry, even your chachus’ disastrous painting skill won’t mess this one. An artist creates a base for this and guests get to paint around this and at the end of the day you get to take home a souvenir!
Adorable Letter Box!
Your guests get to write letters to you! You can have one of these installed on your wedding day and your guests can write fun notes and letters to you. This will make for such a lovely keepsake after the wedding!
DIY Snack Station
Nothing like a DIY your-own snack hamper in an Indian wedding. This can be a fun concept at the welcome lunch at a destination wedding where guests can pick their snacks and enjoy them during the wedding week!
Live Engraving For Favors!
This one is trending everywhere so book your calligrapher today! If you are giving out glasses, perfume bottles or any favors that can be personalised, an engraving station is a fun idea!
Shagun Scratch Cards!
Instead of handing out shagun lifafas, why not make it into a game? This way you can have some fun and everyone enjoys it!
A Jaw-Dropping Mithai Mela
Love sweets but hate the same old ladoos given at all weddings? So why not have your guests pick out their own sweets! As favors arrange a Mithai Mela where guests can pick out their own sweets and take them home. This way they get to try a little bit of everything plus it’s a fun activity for them!
An Epic Champagne Wall!
Instead of having champagne handed out by servers on a tray, what if you could have an interactive bar like this? Guests will have to go and ring a bell, on which a mysterious hand pops out of the wall and hands you a glass of perfectly chilled champagne. What an amazing idea for a summer wedding!
Audio Guest Book!
Writing in an old book is so passe! Have your guests record super cute messages on a phone booth at your wedding. Not only does it get in the entire feel of the day but most guests will love this as a lot of people struggle on what to write, but never what to say!
Hire A Caricaturist!
Such a fun way to have your guests remember your wedding day. A custom portrait is a rare wedding favor that will set your nuptials apart. Plus, it's a memorable wedding activity for guests to enjoy in between rituals and food!
DIY Bar

This one is fun to set up for your cocktail night, along with a regular bar! Set up a mini DIY cocktail bar where they can unleash their inner mixologist and make drinks how they want to!
Fun Favors
Have your mehendi or haldi favors packed in cute fun ways. This will definitely be a conversation starter plus everyone loves fun favors!
Creative Food Counters
Food at weddings – it doesn’t get better than that! From cotton candy stalls to popcorn bars, there are plenty of fun food counter options that you can go for.
Beer On Tap!

Serving beer at your wedding? Let guests serve themselves (if you dare) and have your favorite craft varieties on tap. This is perfect for those haldi or small events when you don’t want to have a fun bar yet have something fun!
Karaoke Night!
You can have this for a haldi or mehendi night when your guest list is slightly smaller and close-knit. We promise, all the uncles and aunties will have a ball at this one!
