Looking to keep the party going after your wedding? These ideas will entertain your guests.
We spend so much time planning our wedding, so of course you might want to continue partying after the reception is officially over.
A lot of venues offer after party options. You could always head back to your hotel bar to unwind, or you could plan one of these eight unique ideas for your after party.
Bowling
Trade those wedding shoes for some bowling shoes at your local alley. Keep your wedding dress and tuxedo on for some fun photos! Split up into teams to enjoy a little friendly competition. And don’t forget to order some bar food and pitchers of beer.
Karaoke
You’ve spent all night dancing and listening to your DJ. Why not take the mic yourself for your after party? Check out bars to see if they offer karaoke, or get an inexpensive karaoke machine and bring it to wherever you head after.
Pool Party
This can work anywhere. Some hotels allow parties in their pool area, or you could enjoy a friend’s pool. You may even have your own! Either way, this is a great way to relax and chill after a long day.
Laser Tag
Up for some friendly competition to unwind after your wedding? Head to a laser tag joint. This is another fun idea that could make for some great photos in your wedding attire!
Escape Room
Reserve a few rooms for a fun challenge after your wedding.
Movie Night
Some theaters allow you to rent the full theater for all of your guests. Or if you want to keep it low-key, see if you could host it at your venue, hotel or even at your house. Don’t forget the popcorn!
Bonfire
Depending on where your venue is, you could head to a beach or park that allows bonfires. Or see if your hotel or venue has a firepit you could use.
Scavenger Hunt
Hand out the item list to your guests when they leave, and pick a location to meet up at after. The guest who has the most items on the list gets a free drink on the bride and groom!
The sky is the limit when it comes to after party ideas on your wedding day. You can keep it chill or party all night until closing time. Whatever you decide, remember to enjoy yourself. Take a moment to absorb the love from your friends and family who kept the celebration going!
