Wedding

A fake wedding that turns into a real party—over-the-top ceremony, heavy drinks, funny speeches, and a reception bound to go off the rails.

Wedding parties work when you commit to the structure, even if the tone is a joke.

It’s the contrast between “formal” and “madness” that makes this theme hit.

Choose the Style

There are two directions, and both work:

• Formal Wedding
  Organized ceremony, nicer fits, chairs, real structure.
• Trash Wedding
  Intentionally ridiculous, sloppy, exaggerated, and loud.

Pick one early. Mixing them halfway usually doesn’t land.

Build the Ceremony Space

You don’t need a real venue, just a clear layout:

• A defined aisle
• A spot for the “altar”
• Rows of chairs or standing sections
• A raised area for the ceremony and speeches

Backyard, house, courtyard, or rented space all work.

Light + Ambience

Simple wedding elements go a long way:

• String lights
• Warm lighting
• Décor around the ceremony space

Even trash weddings benefit from having a clear focal point.

This is where the wedding party becomes memorable.

The Couple

The couple makes the night.

Common pairings:

• Senior girl + freshman guy
• Two people everyone knows are funny
• Intentionally mismatched personalities

It’s not about romance. It’s about entertainment.

Full Ceremony (Lean Into It)

Commit to the process:

• Walking the aisle
• Rings
• Vows
• Speeches
• Champagne pops
• Throw the bouquette

Having a friend play the priest or officiant is half the fun.
The more seriously they take it, the better it lands.

Pre-Wedding

If you want to extend it:

• Bachelor / bachelorette party the night before
• Wedding party involved
  

Photography

Every wedding has photos.

Having either a rented photo booth or handing out disposable cameras contributes to the experience.

This theme works because people can choose how hard they go.

Two clear lanes:

Formal

• Suits, dresses, wedding attire
• Bridesmaids / groomsmen looks
• Clean, intentional fits

Trash

• Flannels, cut-offs, and jorts

Both work. Just be clear which direction you’re encouraging.

Strong options:

• Wedding banner with the “couple’s” names
• Printed wedding programs (funny & exaggerated)
• Photo booth or backdrop
• Chairs for ceremony rows
• Small stage or riser for reception speeches

Champagne & Toasts

Champagne is part of the bit.

• Bottles ready for ceremony moments
• Toasts during speeches
• Keeps the theme consistent throughout the night

Reception Energy

After the ceremony:

• Music switches up
• Speeches get looser
• Dance floor opens

Treat it like a real reception that slowly turns into a party.
