Weddings are all about celebrating love, but who says the celebration ends after the cake is cut and the last dance? Some couples kick off their marriage with unforgettable adventures, turning their wedding day into a full-blown celebration! They show that having fun together is what it’s all about—and a post-wedding arcade session can be a blast.
Let me take you behind the scenes of an arcade adventure and show how you too can make unique memories with your partner on your big day!
Play, Laugh, Repeat
They went headfirst into the fun, playing every game they could find. Whether they won or lost, it didn’t matter—they laughed through it all. In fact, there was one hilarious moment we’ll never forget.
While trying their hand at the ticket claw machine, the claw swooped down and managed to get stuck on the tickets because it went through the tape. We tried to shake it loose with another round, but instead of freeing the tickets, the claw pushed them even further onto the machine! It was a total fail, but we all laughed about it later—it’s moments like these that make the day feel real and memorable.
The Electric Chair Attraction: Not for Everyone!
They also gave the electric chair attraction a go—a ride where you hold onto handles that vibrate and simulate electricity. They sat down, gripped the handles, and, well... let’s just say it wasn’t their favorite experience! The look on their faces was priceless. They weren’t fans of the shocks, but it made for some hilarious photos and gave them a story to tell for years to come.
How to Make Your Wedding Day Uniquely Yours
This arcade adventure is just one example of how couples can make their wedding day extra special. Here are some creative ways to add more fun and meaning to your day, so you can celebrate in a way that’s truly you.
Plan a Post-Ceremony Adventure
After the formalities are done, take time to celebrate in a fun, relaxed way. Whether it’s heading to an arcade or trying something totally different, there’s no wrong way to enjoy your day!
The playful trip to Zap Zone XL gave the couple a chance to unwind and have fun after the ceremony. It wasn’t about being perfect—it was about being themselves.
Other ideas? Consider trying:
- Go-karting: Race each other for some adrenaline-pumping fun.
- Bowling: A classic date night activity that’s easygoing and full of laughs.
- Mini road trip: Drive to a scenic spot for sunset photos or a quiet moment together.
Take a Moment for Yourselves
In the midst of the busy day, schedule a moment where it’s just the two of you. This is your time to reflect, relax, and really take in the emotions of the day. Whether it’s a quiet walk, a picnic, or even just sitting together on a rooftop, these peaceful moments can be grounding and incredibly memorable.
Incorporate a Meaningful Location
Think about places that hold special meaning for you and your partner. Maybe it’s the café where you had your first date, or a favorite hiking trail where you love to spend weekends.
Incorporating these places adds a personal flair to your wedding day, making your memories even more unique and sentimental. Plus, they’re often perfect for intimate, emotion-filled photos.
Involve Your Shared Hobbies
If you and your partner share a hobby or passion, why not incorporate it into your day? Whether it’s painting, cooking, or even visiting an art gallery, these activities can add layers of meaning and fun.
Example: You could plan an outdoor painting session or even take a quick couples’ cooking class in between the ceremony and reception. It’s all about weaving in what you love to do together.
Plan a Surprise Activity for Each Other
Surprises are always fun—especially on a day that’s already full of excitement! Plan a small surprise activity or gift for your partner that will make the day even more special.
Some examples:
- A private wine tasting at a local vineyard.
- A boat ride just for the two of you.
- A spontaneous dance at a quiet, unexpected location.
Surprises like these not only make your day more fun but also show your partner how much you care.
Fun with Props or Themes
Props and themes can bring out your playful side and make your post-wedding session even more unique. Whether it’s funky hats, arcade tokens, or even neon signs, these fun elements add personality to your photos.
This arcade setting brought out the couple's inner kids, making their session both spontaneous and full of laughter. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and use creative settings or props for your own session!
