Learn About Some Outdoor Wedding Reception Activities

Wedding receptions that are outdoors are beautiful. Typically you will have some of the reception outdoors and some under a tent, barn or reception area in a building.

Being based in Florida, there are many activities that can be held. However, depending on where the reception will be held, you can plan on having a variety of activities. Whether it is in the park or on a farm, there is a myriad of activities you can plan.

We can break down some activities based on wedding locations. For instance; if your wedding is at a winery, blindfold wine tasting would be good. Imagine having your aunt, college friend and more tasting some of your favorite wines. This type of activity is best for your host to control and ensure the flow of the event is kept.

Golf is another popular theme, typically for the guys. Therefore, if your husband wants that as his theme, here are some activities you can do. You could have a small “hole in one” contest or if you have it on an actual golf course “the best stroke”. For simple golf activities, you can have a large glass vase filled with golf balls and have guests guess how many are in inside.

Casual wedding receptions have become popular with the new generations. If you are doing anything from;

  • Softball
  • Kickball
  • Tag

Women can bring a pair of sneakers to make sure they participate. Just think of the fun photos you’ll get out of a rousing game of football or baseball played by women in dresses and sneakers and men in suits and sneakers!

If your wedding and reception are fairly casual, you can always tell guests ahead of time to prepare for a ball game or some other fun outdoor activity. Women can bring a pair of sneakers or flip flops. Just imagine the fun photos you’ll get out of a rousing game of football or baseball played by women in dresses and sneakers and men in suits and sneakers!
