How to Make Your Wedding Fun
Wild, Wacky, Weird, Wonderful Wedding Fun

1. Wear red shoes under your white bridal gown. It's a delightful idea to showcase your fun-loving personality. The groom could wear red shoes, too.
2. After the wedding ceremony, let the guests salute the bride and groom with sparklers, rather than rice or petals.
3. Bring a gospel choir to the church to sing during the ceremony. Nothing gets a crowd on its feet like rousing old-time spirituals.
4. Make your entry at the wedding reception in an unexpected way and have fun doing it. Arrive in a carriage, riding on skateboards, carrying a handful of helium balloons or landing in a hot air balloon. You could arrive riding on a fire truck, with lights and sirens.
5. Ask the wedding guests to greet the bride and groom with a serenade of kazoos. Guests will have fun with the kazoos all evening.
6. Get married at the stadium before the big game, or at the halftime break. There will be plenty of seating for all your wedding guests and everyone can watch the big game afterward. The bride and groom can exchange vows on the 50-yard line, or on the pitcher's mound while the sound system plays "Oh Promise Me." It will be fun when the scoreboard displays your names in lights.
7. Include your dog in the wedding as ring bearer, wearing a collar of flowers and a pillow on his back. He will be walked down the aisle on a leash and be on his best behavior.
8. Make your reception a winter wonderland, with fake snow on the tables and an ice sculpture glowing in candlelight.
9. Get married in the nude. Nudist camps and resorts offer a Nude Wedding package, which will save you a bundle on the gown and tuxedo. The movie "Confetti" featured a nude wedding and started the trend of nude wedding fun.
10. Get life-size cardboard figures of the bride and the groom to decorate the reception room. These make fun photo ops.
11. Invite your guests to wear black and white to the wedding. Use black and white as your theme and wedding colors.
12. Have a 3-dimensional life-size likeness of the bride sculpted and placed on the wedding cake. A bride named Chidi Orbuta did this and got lots of publicity.
13. On the RSVP card, ask wedding guests what is their favorite song for dancing. Then have the DJ announce and play their favorites at the reception. This gets people out onto the dance floor having fun.
14. Have a Renaissance wedding. The wedding party wears medieval costumes and drinks lots of ale.
15. Nothing says luxury like a champagne fountain at the reception. A chocolate fountain isn't bad, either.
16. Decorate the bride's hands and feet in henna for good luck.
17. Get married in an unusual location. Vows have been exchanged in fun places like a bowling alley, a racetrack, a cemetery, a zoo, a favorite fast-food restaurant, underwater in scuba gear, over cell phones, and at the top of a roller coaster. The most romantic place to marry, I think, is in an Irish castle.
18. Rent life-size cardboard cutouts of famous lovers to decorate the reception hall. Guests can have fun posing for pictures with the cutouts.
19. Have wedding photos framed as favors for each guest. Surprise your guests with the photos ready to take home at the end of the reception.
20. At the reception have a slide show running to project fun family photos on a screen.
21. On the night before the wedding, gather the wedding party beneath the bride's window to serenade her with romantic or funny songs.
22. Send your save-the-date announcement on vintage postcards with pictures of courting couples.
23. Hold your fun wedding at a theme park. They say Disney World or Disneyland, is the happiest place in the world. They offer complete wedding packages. They'll provide an aisle for the processional lined with rosebushes, your personal fairy godplanner at your beck and call, an exchange of vows near Cinderella's Castle, champagne, cake, and initimitable Disney songs like "When You Wish Upon a Star." Your favorite cartoon characters will come to congratulate you while fireworks light up the sky.
