- Plan a Group Activity
If you’re going to be marrying at a location where there are a lot of recreational events to enjoy, you should consider planning a group activity with your guests. Take everybody to the museum, aquarium, or zoo so that they can explore the city you’re in before the wedding starts.

Time capsules aren’t only for municipal events. In fact, they are also a great way to make your wedding unique! Before the wedding, write a letter to your partner.
