Ideas for Wedding Party Props
Weddings are a time of celebration for family, friends and bridal parties. Through the years, wedding party props have allowed the bride and groom to personalize the celebration and engage wedding guests. Ideas for wedding party props have ranged from simple and classy to elaborate and funny.
Hats Off to the Couple
Accessories often make the outfit, but when each bridesmaid and groomsman is dressed alike, accessorizing with wedding props can make quite a difference. The most common accessory found at wedding receptions is decorative hats. For a classier look, many choose a top hat, cowboy hat or tiara. To add a dash of humor to the day's event, there are holiday hats, YMCA hats and funky fabric hats with wigs attached. Hats can enhance a particular wedding party theme chosen by the couple and personalize the experience for the wedding party.
Rockin' the Reception
Whether the bride and groom have hired a band or DJ, wedding guests can still make their own music with musical wedding party props. From inflatable guitars for the groomsmen to tambourines for the bridesmaids, the wedding party will rock the reception with these wedding props sold at local party supply outlets. Wedding guests can also participate in the musical theme with plastic harmonicas, horns and recorders. Have the wedding party serenade the newlyweds or wedding guests in pure, musical fashion. Ask your DJ or band if they supply wedding props before purchasing your own.
Fiesta Festivities
If you want to take the wedding party south of the border, fiesta-themed wedding props might spruce up the festivities. Party guests can get involved by dressing the part, wearing sombreros and traditional Spanish garb. Wedding party props to liven up the fiesta include flower leis, light-up maracas and a pinata filled with wedding favors or mementos from the bride and groom. Have guests smash open the pinata to find gifts from the couple or tidbits about the newlyweds.
Decades of Dancing
What better way to celebrate the decade the bride and groom were born with decade-themed wedding party props? A 70s-inspired party theme may include disco balls, retro sunglasses, black lights and tie-dyed charms and bracelets. Flash back to the 80s with punk rock and mullet wigs, spiked bracelets, retro sunglasses and rock star necklaces. Your guests can supply ideas for party props for each decade to personalize the theme, or you can purchase them at a party supply retailer.
