I'm not having Alcohol for my wedding ( I dont drink), and the music we are playing will be more classical.

I am looking for ways to entertain my guests for my wedding since we are not planning on having a dance floor etc. Any suggestions will be appreciated!



Answer
well i would suggest a bouncy thing for kids to jump in a rock climing wall, poker tent or what not, bingo tent,
maybe get a few people dressed up as some sort of charactor for entertainment.

Have the slide shows playing! put cards on the table!
Have a book for a journal of experince on each table and let others write down what ever they want!
or put it on paper with holes and have everyone fill out the questionaire or what not.. then you can compile them all together for your own keep sake in a binder!!!
