How To Get Guests Involved in Your Special Event

Planning a special event like a wedding, reunion, shower, Bar/Bat Mitzvah or retirement party can be fun and a labor of love. It can also be nerve-racking if you are hoping to have guests do more than sit at tables and eat a meal. Getting guests involved and active can be a challenge but with Seacoast Events’ interactive entertainment, games and photo booth options, you will surely have a party that everyone will be raving about. 

Get Proactive About Engaging Guests

One of the first steps to ensure that your guests are involved and connected to the event is to build excitement for the event in advance. This could take the form of an invitation that hypes the entertainment that will be available or shows images of what to expect for the special event. Or it could be in the form of a welcome greeter at the event that explains what options for fun are available such as a photo booth, magician, games, or live music. 

By getting proactive and letting your guests know what to expect, they will be more likely to jump into the fun immediately rather than being hesitant to get involved. 

Give Guests Entertainment Options 

Guests come in all shapes and sizes. Some may enjoy physical activity and full involvement in the event while others may be more apt to take part in quieter activities. Give a full range of options to accommodate all of your guests. 

Interactive Entertainment

One of the best ways to get your guests involved is through interactive entertainment such as game shows, wandering magicians, and pub or arcade games. 

Seacoast Events offers a wide range of interactive entertainment activities to keep your guests laughing and playing throughout your special event. For guests who want to be a part of the action but not the center of attention there are airbrush tattoo artists that could perform at your event. These tattoos make everyone feel like they are part of something bigger and will find themselves chatting with others about what design they chose and why. 

More outgoing guests may enjoy being right in the middle of all the action by taking part in a game show or strolling magical act. The choice is yours to create the custom event that you desire. 

Live Music

Who doesn’t like to get involved with live music being performed at an event? No matter your personality you can sway with the music in your chair or cut the rug in the middle of the dance floor. Live music certainly sets a mood and can get your guests talking and dancing. 

Personal Touches 

Make your event personal by assigning a theme that will have your guests “oohing and ahhing” at the decor, and lighting. Add personal touches in the lighting with a monogram projection, slogan or name displayed on a ceiling and wall such as “Senior Week 2024.” 

Photo Booths 

Capture the memories of the event with a Seacoast photo booth option. From green screen booths to traditional photo booths, we have a wide assortment of photo booth options that will be perfect for your style of event.
