Coming up with ideas to keep your wedding guests entertained is among the trickiest aspects of wedding planning. Following dinner when the dancing begins, your reception party playlist will keep your guests entertained; however, there is a gap to fill in between the ceremony and reception. Below are some wedding entertainment ideas you can consider for your celebration:

In recent years, photo booths have increasingly become a staple at many wedding receptions. Bear in mind that the booths are available in various sizes, styles and shapes; therefore, you can choose something unusual to put a remarkable twist on the trend. With mirror photo booths, guests will be able to strike a pose in front of a touch-sensitive mirror and use different props to maximize the fun factor. Typically, prints are ready within 30 seconds.
Photo Scavenger Hunt
You can create a scavenger hunt with photos for your guests to do throughout the course of your wedding day. If done right, this can bring out the fun and competitive nature of your guests. With a clever hashtag, you can then share memories of the event on Instagram.
Dance Off
A real good old-fashioned dance off is also a wedding entertainment ideas. A battle of the sexes is a logical way to separate guests and just let the good times roll. The DJ could be tasked with deciding the winners.
Surprise First Dance
You could end up in the wedding hall of fame by learning a top-secret dance routine with your bride or groom and perform it at the reception. You can choose from any routine you prefer and can even start with an unusual song for a first dance.
Singing Waiters and Waitresses
You can propel your reception to a whole new stratosphere by hiring a contingent of singing waiters and waitresses to pump even more life into your event. For greater wow-factor, you can keep this a secret from wedding guests.
Dance Lesson
You can consider hiring a dance instructor to show your guests a fun and easy dance that they all can do. For additional fun points, you can use a story to tie the dance into your personal interests or ethnic background. To help your guests to participate and enjoy the dance, try to keep the “lesson” segment less than 10 minutes.
Karaoke
If you both love karaoke, including it on your big day is something you can consider. You and/or your partner can start things off and then invite your guests to sing their hearts out with great or tremendously terrible performances.
