These are a few of my favorite things:

Tailored guest activities

First, every place setting came with a custom scratcher for the guest, and if they wanted, they got to take a shot ski with the couple! It was such a fun way to involve the crowd in something fun and lowkey. Speaking of crowd participation, they made custom programs that had fun games like Pictionary and crosswords so the guests could fill them out during cocktail hour. They also had custom puzzles made of their pictures, and as each guest got off the lift, they got a puzzle piece to make the picture complete.

Caricatures and La Marcha

N + B made it obvious that they really wanted their guests to enjoy their time at their wedding. They hired the lovely Rebekah to draw caricatures all night. The guests absolutely loved it, and there was ALWAYS a line for her drawings. They also had all of the guests join in The Marcha as they led them outside and around the reception space. It was so fun to see all of the guests get involved with the simple dance.

Program Puzzles

The couple made the cutest programs for their guests, complete with fun crossword puzzles, emoji Pictionary, and other games for guests to do on the way down the chairlift and during cocktail hour. Once the guests got back down the lift to Purgy’s, we handed them each a jumbo puzzle piece so they could then try to complete one of three puzzles. All of them were cute pictures of the couple walking around town for their engagement pictures. We loved this idea because it brought in a lot of guest engagement and doubled as a cute sentimental piece for the couple to hold on to.
