10 Alternate Pre-wedding Parties you can Host for your Guests

Weddings are a time when our friends and relatives bump into each other a number of times. And in between all the ceremonies we always have that one idle day where we want to plan a fun gathering for our loved ones. Here is a list that will give you some head start.

1. Skip the Bridal Shower

Instead, have a combined bachelors party. And you don’t have to invite only your girlfriends, your guest list can include all the common friends between yours to-be and you, provided your motto for the night is to ‘have fun’ and get to know each other’s friends. You can plan a bachelor get away with all the friends involved and make it a trip to remember!  

2. Photo Booth

We are a visually driven world and it’s the age of Instagram. Who doesn’t want to post entertaining and happening pictures. So have a special party where you can click loads and loads of fun pics with all your friends and relatives. You can have a Gatsby theme or any other theme that involves costumes to get the entire wedding group in the celebration mood already. 

3. Movie Night

This novel idea has been around since some time, but this concept really took off after Farhan Akhtar and Shibhani Dandekar planned a private movie night for all their friends. This night sounds perfect if your girlfriends and you have had countless sleepovers where you’ve binge-watched movies and discussed boys growing up. 

4. Match Point

Nah. We are not talking about a party where you have fun games session. Have a match, of whichever sport you like e.g. Cricket. Bride Squad vs. Groom Squad. It’s going to be a day full of laughter and cheap tricks.

5. Fairytale Night

A little more serene but an amusing idea. Hire a professional painter who can teach the party some basic brush strokes. Spend the day casually amongst your loved ones while attempting a piece of art. Keep it outdoors in a garden or by a lake. Later lunch can be served al fresco.

7. Disco Night

It’s a night to burn up the dance floor. Create a playlist of your favourite Bollywood dance tracks. And go all out with the thumkas. The dance floor is going to be packed for a long long time.

8. Carnival

We all love the carnival, yeah? Have your guests put out games and food stalls. Let your guests equip themselves with vibrant carnivalesque festoons. For the sake of fun, you can also add trampoline and jumpalenos too.

9. Musically

So karaoke became too common but we still love to sing. Arrange for all possible musical instruments. Dhols, tambourines, flutes, tablas even thalis and spoons. Let each guest have one instrument. Now have a ganaa session of all your favourite songs while making your own music.

10. Go Sailing
