Live wedding painting and other interactive experiences to add to your big day

Create lasting memories with these fun ideas.

If you always had a big fat wedding on your vision board, there are few better ways to add a personal touch than to include interactive experiences in your celebrations. There's a good chance that not everyone at your wedding will know each other, and sharing experiences together is a great way to get your guests to get involved, bonding, and, most importantly, having fun. 

For every kind of couple aspiring to do something unique for their big day, we’ve got you covered with these funky yet accessible ideas. 

Live wedding painting


Add an artful touch to your big day by capturing the moment on canvas. Hire a professional live wedding painter to do justice to your magical memories. While your guests are enamoured by the creative process, you’re left with a one-of-a-kind memento.

DIY cupcake decorating bar


Cupcakes are always crowd favourites. Add a touch of excitement for your guests by setting up a cupcake decorating bar. Your guests can choose among various toppings and get creative with cupcake decor. 

Virtual guest book

Use a third-party mobile app to create a digital lobby and place the QR code across the venue for guests to access. Guests can scan the code, join the lobby and click snapshots of the day from their point of view. Not only does this include each guest in the festivities, but you’ll also end up with a sentimental digital photo book of your day. A popular option is “POV”, a free-to-install app available on iOS and Android.

Scavenger hunt 

Want your guests to explore the venue and marvel at the details? Set up a scavenger hunt across the venue. Hide small objects—think travel-sized perfume, skincare, chocolate, and other goodies—in a clearly defined area and place an instructional board explaining the rules and the items to be found. And goes without saying that finders are keepers!  

Photo booth


Sometimes, simplicity is key. Arrange a photo booth set-up and get your guests to click pictures with props and a backdrop featuring your wedding hashtag. You can also go for a digital photo stand and incorporate virtual filters and effects for everyone to play around with. Guaranteed crowd puller.
