How to Entertain Guests While You’re Shooting Photos

Your wedding day is a whirlwind of love and celebration; the photoshoot is your chance to capture those cherished moments. But what about your guests?

While you’re busy striking poses and creating lasting memories, keeping your loved ones entertained is essential.

So, for the final blog of the month, we’ll drop a few creative ideas to entertain your guests during the photoshoot!·     

Live Music

Consider hiring a live musician or a small band to play soothing tunes during the photoshoot. It creates a relaxed atmosphere and adds a touch of elegance to your wedding.

It’s also an excellent opportunity to showcase local New Mexico wedding vendors who can provide live entertainment!

 Photo Booth Fun

Set up a photo booth with props and backdrops that match your wedding theme. Please encourage your guests to take their pictures while they wait.

This keeps them entertained and creates a beautiful collection of candid guest photos you’ll cherish!

Interactive Games

Set up a few interactive games like giant Jenga, cornhole, or a ring toss. Guests of all ages can enjoy these classic games and add fun to your wedding day.

Signature Cocktail Bar

Offer a signature cocktail bar where guests can enjoy a refreshing drink while waiting for the photoshoot to wrap up.

This also highlights New Mexico wedding planners who can assist with unique bar ideas and concoctions.

Hors d’oeuvres and Appetizers

Enjoy your guests’ appetites with a selection of hors d’oeuvres and appetizers. Mini sandwiches, bite-sized treats, and finger foods will ensure your guests are well-fed and happy during the photoshoot.

Guest Messages

Set up a station where guests can leave heartfelt messages, well-wishes, or marriage advice for you and your partner. Your guests will be entertained, and you will have a cherished keepsake.
