12. 09. 2025 Wedding program - tips for fun wedding activities

Planning a wedding? Create a schedule for your wedding day with a rich entertainment programme. A well-prepared wedding programme prevents dead spots, maintains a good mood, draws guests into the action and creates memorable moments. The great thing is that you can freely combine traditional customs with modern entertainment. The result will be a programme that describes you and gives your wedding a unique atmosphere.

Remember that your wedding day doesn't have to be all about dancing and food - there are no limits to your imagination. The important thing is to choose a programme that suits you. Don't force yourself into traditions if you don't want them, or into games you don't enjoy. It's your day and your day alone!

Wedding customs and traditions

When planning your wedding, you can incorporate customs and traditions into your wedding schedule - classics that never go out of style. Cutting the cake, the newlyweds' first dance, throwing the bridal bouquet, or the increasingly popular unraveling of the bouquet. Sweeping up the shards and the wedding toast. Each of these moments has its own symbolic meaning and helps give the wedding a festive atmosphere. For more wedding customs and traditions, read our earlier article.

Creative games, competitions and fun for your wedding

If you want to lighten up your wedding day and keep your guests entertained, try some of our popular wedding games:

• Newlywed shoe quiz
• wedding carriage game
• bride's garter removal
• wedding raffle
• wedding bingo

Detailed instructions for these fun games, as well as other wedding games, can be found in the next article.

Zidlickovana and the newlyweds quiz

You can also try the all-familiar Chairshaker or a fun quiz about the newlywed couple that involves all the wedding guests. All you need to do is ask a few questions, such as where the newlyweds had their first date, who said "I love you" first, what the groom's favorite color is, who is the bigger sleeper, or what the newlywed couple's favorite movie is called. The moderator then asks the questions and the guests try to hit the right answer.

Kollickovana and the kidnapping of the bride

A lot of fun without any complicated preparation is provided by the pinwheel wedding. All you need are simple wooden pegs, which the guests discreetly pin on each other's clothes. Whoever ends up wearing the most of them without noticing loses. It's a simple, inexpensive wedding entertainment that will entertain children and adults alike.

But if it 's one of your favourite traditions, incorporate it into your wedding day programme. It's up to you.

Music and dance at the wedding

Music can lift the spirits of all wedding guests. A wedding DJ will offer a wide repertoire and can respond to guests' requests, while live music will bring a unique atmosphere to the wedding. Read on for more advice and tips on choosing wedding music.

For the more adventurous, we can recommend karaoke. Dance competitions, music quizzes or a playlist of songs on request are also popular. A beautiful variation is an aisle made of sparklers and dancing by their light - it's a magical romantic moment that looks wonderful in wedding photos and wedding video.

Performance and show for the wedding

Do you want to surprise your guests? Take care of a special show! Book a magician or stand-up comedian. A bartending show for the wedding or folklore and dance performances can also please.

And what about a midnight surprise? There are plenty of options - a fire show, fireworks, light show or balloons with wishes. An unusual dance by the newlyweds, family or a flashmob to get the whole wedding going is also a great idea.

Fun for the kids at the wedding (and light relief for the adults)

Will there be couples with young children among your wedding party? Then it pays to think about them and their entertainment too. At least the parents will get a break and be able to enjoy the wedding with you. For example, provide:

• a children's corner with an animator
• a bouncy castle
• a bubble show
• creative workshops (painting, creating)

But adults can also enjoy the fun - for example, with a family mini quiz or joint games to bring all generations together.

Original ideas to spice up your wedding programme

Do you like to make your wedding your own? Add something that makes you distinctive. In recent years, various stalls, corners and chill zones have become popular. You may not even have known that such things existed, and you might get excited about some of these ideas:

• A pipe corner
• coffee stall and latte art school
• prosecco bar
• wine tasting corner
• a beer stall with a tap school

Creative and commemorative activities for the wedding

Various photo, creation and reminiscence activities are also a great addition to the wedding day. You can project a video or photos with the story of your relationship, or prepare an exhibition of shared moments and wedding photos of parents and grandparents. A popular classic is the guest book, where guests paste their polaroid photos taken during the wedding day and add a personal message. A wedding tree made up of guests' fingerprints or even a painting painted from a photo of the newlyweds will also make a beautiful keepsake.

An interesting idea is also a "time capsule", i.e. messages from the guests that the newlyweds will read years later. And if you want to offer your guests something to entertain them, a wedding newspaper is a great idea - it can contain not only the schedule of the day and the wedding menu, but also your story of meeting and getting engaged, often humorously presented.

Tips on how to make a wedding day timetable

A well-planned wedding day timetable is essential. Think about alternating between active and relaxing parts, and make sure that guests of all generations - children, parents and grandparents - enjoy the wedding. A great help is the emcee or wedding coordinator, who manages the programme, announces what is going to happen and makes sure it runs smoothly. This way you don't have to worry about anything and can enjoy the wedding to the full.

We at Castle Catering are happy to help you with all of this. We offer turnkey weddings, so in addition to coordinating the wedding day itself, we take care of all the preparations.
