Some of the popular pre-wedding events are things including a manicure. Most women find this relaxing and it serves as a respite from the chaos and confusion of the wedding plans. Men may prefer to pay a game of golf or tennis as this is going on.
Most of the wedding couples plan out structured events as the pre-wedding activities for the guests. Suppose the wedding is to be held on Saturday night, the activity might be planned for Friday, especially when the guests are locals of the area. Pre-wedding events include bachelor and bachelorette bashes. You can plan some exciting activities and later go to a nice restaurant for a fun filled evening. Make sure you keep the carousing and drinking within a limit because some family members may not be very comfortable with that.
Here's a fun activity that you can have just before the wedding. Hand a gift basket to one of the guests. The theme of the gift basket is "advice for the newlyweds" and it can be kick started by the maid of honor or the best man. Then the basket is taken to a relative's house, maybe a cousin or an aunt and is left at the doorstep. This person will add a gift and drops the gift basket at someone else's place. This activity must be started at least two weeks prior to the ceremony and all the guests must be informed well in advance.
This gift basket can be circulated even during the wedding weekend, but it works only if all the guests are local, and are informed about the event. In such a case, it would help if someone could drop off the basket at a person's place, collect the gift and then take it to the next stop. This way, we can avoid troubling each person with the task of carrying it to the next location. Once the gift basket is full, one person can take responsibility of putting the items together and wrapping it up, so that it can be presented to the wedding couple. This basket may be delivered directly at the ceremony, as a gift in itself.
Whatever may be the activities that you plan, ensure that they suit your guests' limitations. Make sure your activities suit everyone's needs. If the event requires everyone's participation, and you select golf, but your grandpa is using a walker, it is not a great activity to plan.
