Opting for an outdoor wedding reception opens a room for many fun and exciting activities. These thrilling ideas are sometimes hard to pull off if done in an indoor venue. With an outdoor wedding reception, you can think of games and activities that will complement the outdoor theme you have for your wedding.

There are many different outdoor venues where you can hold your wedding reception. These include parks, farms, vineyards, golf courses, gardens, and even football fields. The games and activities you want to plan will depend on whichever venue you like.

One of the most popular outdoor nuptials is a winery wedding. If you opt for this, you might want to consider a blindfolded wine tasting game for your guests. This wedding theme is more great if you and your groom are wine lovers, but both of you should not be a part of such game because it has to be played by your guests and wedding attendants. The game may need more or less half dozen players. They will be blindfolded as they start to taste various wine you provide. Each one needs to guess which is pinot noir, Cabernet, and etc. The person who gets to guess all the wine right wins, and an obvious prize for him/her will of course be a bottle of wine.

Granted that you would like to have your wedding reception on a golf course, it would be perfect if you will include some golf elements to your entire celebration. You might want to consider playing golf as one of the party activities. Encourage your guests to head to the golf course and win the “hole in one” contest. Or, you can have your guests play a driving contest and then award the one who has the best stroke. You might want to decorate the tables with vases filled with golf balls. This idea can also make a simple game for the guests. All they need to do is to guess how many balls are in the vase. Of course the person who guess it right wins a reward.

If you plan to hold both your wedding ceremony and reception at the same outdoor venue, then you have to think of activities that are not too much, but just enough to keep the level of formality and sacredness of the ceremony without being too boring. For instance, you can set up a place where your guests can enjoy walking prior to the reception. Provide a few things that they can look at such as various photos of you and your groom at different stages of your lives, some of your favorite things, and anything that would create something like an exhibit at your wedding venue. The place should be a great start where your guests will know more about you as a couple and all you’ve got that both of you enjoy when you are together.

For an outdoor wedding, it doesn’t need too many wedding decorations to make the venue look interesting. However, some traditional wedding supplies such as matching wedding favors and other reception accessories must be there to pull off your outdoor wedding theme.
