Ideas to surprise your guests at your reception 

No matter how you plan, your wedding is going to be absolutely magical. However, if you want to break the rules and really wow your guests you may need to master some tricks. Whether it’s changing wardrobes, carefully choreographed dances, unique menu choices, or something completely different, some surprises will make your event more interesting and memorable. 

Weddings Roatan can help you create any idea for your wedding, don’t stress or rush yourself—you will be working with the best wedding team on the bay islands. 

Below are some ideas to surprise your guests at your reception. 

Consider a wardrobe change

Of course you’ve spent a lot of time finding the dress, but what if you actually fell in love with two? 

Create a spot for a little Rest 

While we’re sure it’s hard to leave the dance floor, sometimes guests need a rest. Create a beautiful lounge area for them to take a break, including comfy seating, a basket full of flip flops they can swap for their heels, and some flavored water. 

Raise the bar

Along with your typical cocktail bar, offer a few other stations where guests can show their own creativity. Go bubbly with a champagne bar where guests can mix their own flavors—bellinis and mimosas can be popular—or add a rock candy stirrer, for example. 

Have a Fun “Guest Book” to Sign 

Think beyond the typical guest book—ask guests to leave a message on a vintage surfboard at your tropical destination wedding, or create a jigsaw puzzle of your photo and let guests sign each piece. 

Anticipate Their Needs 

Your guests will appreciate a cute emergency kit for the morning after. Include all the hangover essentials (Aspirin, water, energy bars) to get them back on their feet after a night of celebrating. 

Exit time 

Jazz up your ceremony exit or nighttime reception with a celebratory firework display. Or hand out sparklers and champagne for your guests to hold as they escort you to your getaway car when the night is over.
