2. Make a Surprising Entrance

Whether it’s the bride or groom, an ingenious arrival to your wedding day is a must. If not a happy couple, why not give your wedding party an interesting entry? We’ve seen dancing in the aisle in the past as well as all sorts of interesting transportation, such as decorated cars, horses, and vintage fire trucks. 

The simplest but most inspiring way you can show your guests that you care is to create a beautiful space for them with a beautifully spaced centerpiece on your table! Welcome them with a floral display and all sorts of fireworks and amazing things! You can use a floral wall, candlelight path or even have a simple table and flower decorated to welcome them.

3. Serve Delectable Welcome Drinks

What better way to greet your guests than with a refreshing drink? Set up a drink station at the entrance or get some Indian flavored drinks served at the entrance to give your guests a pleasant welcome at your wedding. Also, do not forget to add new and active ways of serving drinks at your wedding.

4. Greet them with Tilak

Add a cultural & ethnic touch to your wedding and welcome your guests by sprinkling a little rose water on their foreheads and spraying sandalwood on their foreheads. Sandalwood paste & rose water make for a great combo and have a spiritual value in Indian wedding scenes.

If physical invitations are too dangerous, keep them digital with email e-whites or a cleverly named private Facebook event. Include time, date, venue, dress code, RSVP contact information, and any other relevant details. Finally, remember to make it clear that this is a Surprise Party.

5. Visit All Your Guests

Remember to be a good host to everyone, not just your favorite relatives and friends. Take the time to see all of your visitors. Inquire about their journey, see if they need any help and thank them for participating in your wonderful day. Converse with them and compliment them on their performance. Do not forget to take photos with them.

Although your family meets and greets your guests over the weekend, it is a pleasure to receive a formal welcome to your guests.  It can also be the official “welcome night” on the day guests arrive. However, be sure to welcome your guests in a way that recognizes your (and your family) appreciation for attending.

6. Give Away a Personalized Note

Personalization is very helpful at weddings these days. So, stick to the ongoing trend and give your guests personal yet valuable things like beautiful handwritten notes. Your wedding guests will definitely love your gesture and will cherish it forever.

7.How about a Flower Shower for your Guests’ Welcome?

How to greet your guests with a shower of flowers? The idea is exciting and fits the context perfectly. Bringing a smile to your guests ‘face, these flowers symbolize the perfect start of the guests’ welcome ceremony.

Add some Indian flair with loud melodies on Indian drums and drums. Your guests definitely deserve it. Did the beats of these musical instruments, the rain of flowers, the dancing and the merriment in the air, the laughter of your family and friends, all together set the happy vibe at the wedding?

8. Make the First Dance Song Special

The perfect way to surprise your loved ones is to keep your first dance song a secret, and then make it unique to more people than you. Maybe you could choose a song that has a deeper meaning for your parents or maybe even a favorite song for a loved one who is not here? Make the first dance ‘everyone’s focus on you’ moment memorable with a beautifully chosen song.

10. Make Sure They Have A Good Time

There is nothing more annoying than having your guests bored in their rooms before and after the wedding. Allow interested guests to visit places of interest during their leisure time. Offer to take them to local destinations for enjoyable activities or leisure. Plan activities for people who cannot travel. Make sure everyone likes their time with you.

Familiarize yourself with the furniture pieces in your venue before you book or rent some if needed. Again, the support service can help you if you need it. Above all, it’s about having the perfect setup to surprise the guest of honor!

11. Have Fun With a Photo Booth

Want your guests to go into the entertainment right away? Allow them to take their photos when they get on-site by setting up a photo booth station. Work with your photographer to plan this activity or hire a dedicated photo booth seller to remove it. Make sure you have a stunning backdrop that radiates the beauty of your wedding to make your wedding more special.

While the position is important, it is the subject of a surprising proposition that makes the best of true love and emotions at the moment when two people decide to live their lives together.

Hire at least one person as the party videographer and make sure they receive camera training on the face of the guest of honor for the first two or three minutes after they enter the stage.

12. Get a Special “Welcome” for the Groom’s Family

With the bride’s family being the official “host” family, these days events come and go so quickly that the groom’s family sometimes gets mixed up in the mix. So, take some time to make them feel special and welcome to your family home. Before formal events, your family can host a meal for the groom’s family members, whether it’s a casual Indian dinner or an open house lunch. 

This little effort goes a long way and it sets the perfect tone for the rest of the wedding ceremony. It’s also a great way to break the ice (if there’s any family that comes from outside the town and doesn’t know about your family).

13. Someone from the Family should be Assigned job of Welcoming the Guests at the Entry Itself

The first thing is that someone in the family should be at the entrance to welcome the guests. Because, if you make someone other than a family member stand at the entrance, perhaps unknown to everyone, your guests will feel bad and be ignored. It is a good idea to have a family member standing by to welcome all guests at the entry. This is important!

Others do not like to be forgotten and do not enjoy the excitement that leads to a party. It is important to make sure your friend does not fall into these two categories. There are ways to make people happy on a special day without surprise parties.

14. Set up a Place to Relaxation

At your wedding, a lot of your guests will dance, have fun and do a lot of things and in the middle they may feel tired, for which you can arrange some space for them to relax. Make some lounge for that matter. The comfort of your guests is important, you can fill the space with chairs, pillows and couches so that your guests can relax for a while.

15. Thank your Guests with Customized Gifts or Personalized Assistance

It gives joy and happiness along with a love token as a souvenir they will cherish forever. It helps to show your wedding guests that you care about them, as well as, there is nothing better than going to a wedding and taking home a souvenir that can be used forever.
