Why let the bartenders have all the fun? A DIY cocktail or mocktail bar lets your guests get creative, mix their own signature drinks, and even discover a new favourite. Set up recipe cards with step-by-step instructions – or encourage adventurous tasters to invent their own concoctions. It’s a fun, engaging way to get guests mingling, celebrate together, and enjoy a custom drink that’s as memorable as your big day.

Bonus: it doubles as an interactive activity and a delicious wedding favour in one – because nothing says “celebrate” like a custom-made cocktail in hand.

Who doesn’t love dessert? A build-your-own dessert station turns treats into a hands-on experience your guests will remember long after the last dance. Think donuts, s ’mores, cupcakes, churros, or even mini-ice cream sundaes. Guests get to customize their sweet creations, sparking conversation, laughter, and maybe a little friendly competition over the most outrageous or Instagram-worthy masterpiece.

For extra fun, add themed decorations, edible glitter, or signage. This interactive station not only satisfies sugar cravings but also keeps guests mingling, exploring, and fully immersed. Sweet, social, and totally memorable – its dessert elevated to an experience for your wedding guests.

Who says tattoos must be permanent? A temporary tattoo bar adds a playful, unexpected twist to your wedding celebration. Guests can choose from custom designs featuring your initials, wedding date, fun icons, or even silly inside jokes, creating a wearable keepsake of the day.

Bonus points if you add metallic or glow-in-the-dark options- perfect for dancing the night away! A temporary tattoo bar is not only interactive and memorable, but it also leaves your guests with a tangible reminder of the fun, creativity, and joy of your wedding day.

Turn your wedding into a living, breathing work of art with a guest art wall or collaborative mural. Set up a canvas, chalkboard, or large board where guests can add doodles, messages, or even a splash of paint. It’s a fun, hands-on activity that lets everyone leave their mark – literally. From heartfelt notes and inside jokes to quirky sketches, the finished piece becomes a one-of-a-kind keepsake bursting with memories, laughter, and personality.

By the end of the night, you’ll have a vibrant, colourful masterpiece – a memory that captures the spirit of everyone who made your wedding truly unforgettable.

Take the traditional guestbook up a notch with an audio guestbook phone, where your friends and family can leave voicemail-style recordings instead of written messages. It’s personal, playful, and completely unique- capturing laughter, heartfelt wishes, and even spontaneous singing, jokes, or quirky stories that a pen on paper could never convey. Set up a cozy corner with a vintage phone or sleek modern device, along with fun props or a sign encouraging guests to “Leave a Message for the Newlyweds!”

Guests of all ages will enjoy the novelty, and you’ll end up with a treasure trove of memories in their own voices. Months or years later, you can relive your wedding day through these recordings, hearing the excitement, love, and personality of everyone who shared it with you. It’s more than a guestbook – it’s a living, breathing memory that captures the spirit of your celebration in a way that no photograph or note ever could.
