Unconventional Civil Ceremony & Wedding Ideas

With people attend so many weddings these days, its not hard for weddings to start to look the same. The key to keeping things interesting is to make it your own and sometimes this involves letting rules and conventionality go out the window! It is very important to vary the day to keep the momentum of the party going.

In Ballinacurra, we are all about keeping guests on their toes -and we love when couples get creative to keep their guests entertained at the various parts of the day, from civil ceremony through to dinner and beyond.Here are some unconventional ideas that we love, that added some fun and originality to civil ceremonies and wedding celebrations.

Mass Booklets

These can be very boring and take a lot of time to prepare. Having some fun with theses can set the tone of the wedding and keep things a little more interesting for those watching the clock. This can be a fun way to keep people entertained through your civil ceremony or church church celebration.

Guest Books

Too often guests avoid signing the traditional guest book because they are not really sure what to say that will fill up a page. Instead of a boring guest book gets your guests to write messages on Jenga pieces. You can keep them forever and be reminded of the people every time you play. Also the chance of you taking out your guest book in years to come is probably slim.
