2018-03-23

It’s your big day and your loved ones are, without a doubt, here to celebrate the joyous occasion. However, as with any other event, it’s important for you to play the good host. After all, you’ll want your guests to be comfortable and to enjoy themselves. From providing transportations services to babysitting services, listed below are six thoughtful gestures to make your guests at home.

Arrange transportation

Often one of their key concerns, getting to and fro the venue is no easy feat; especially if the wedding venue is out of the way and your guests are in their highest heels. Whether it’s Dempsey or The British Club, ensure your guests’ comfort by arranging transportation. Do consider appointing a designated pick-up point that is preferably located near a bus or MRT station. Trust us, your guests will thank you.

Provide dancing shoes

Wondering why no one is tearing up the dance floor despite the DJ playing your favourite jam? As heels are tricky to navigate, one can’t really expect their guests to be risking a potentially embarrassing accident. To have the guests fully utilize the dance floor, have some dancing flats on standby and a dance party will take off in no time.

Be prepared for the weather

Whether it’s an indoor or outdoor wedding, there are many wedding locations in Singapore. However, do factor in the weather when selecting the venue. For instance, from April to June, you may wish to consider an indoor wedding, to avoid the overly active sun. Or, consider providing tents and other accessories such as sunglasses when hosting an outdoor wedding. Outdoor weddings are also best held during the evenings.

Provide light entertainment 

In addition to being the perfect icebreaker, games are also a great way to engage and interact with your guests. You can encourage your guests to mingle by incorporating games such as a giant Jenga or spinning the wheel.

Speaking of games, do consider providing professional babysitter services to take care of the kids during the wedding reception. With this service, parents will be able to better celebrate the occasion without having to constantly keep and eye on their little ones.

Provide door gifts

Wedding favors are a great way of showing your appreciation for your guests. Consider including some useful items such as water, sunglasses and insect repellant; especially if it’s an outdoor wedding you’re hosting. Trust us, your guests will appreciate the kind and thoughtful gesture. 

Put careful thought into the seating arrangement

As much as possible, do try to seat people that are familiar with each other at the same table. Not only will this encourage more meaning interactions, it’ll help minimise the awkward silence between strangers. You may also consider going for a mix of lounge chairs for the elderly, to maximise their comfort. You can also leave personalized notes for your guests on their tables, to show your appreciation.

With all these things taken into consideration, your wedding will truly be an unforgettable one.
