Once you get into the thick of planning your wedding, you’ll start to realize that there is a lot of side planning that needs to be done as well. According to The Knot, 80% of all weddings take place between May and October. These are great months to plan outdoor weddings, such as a riverside wedding. Let’s look at a few fun activities you might want to plan for your guests at your riverside wedding venue.
Play on the River
If you are booking a riverside wedding venue, then there are likely to be fun river activities to do nearby. Rafting can be a great way to bring the entire wedding party together for something adventurous before you exchange vows. This is a great idea if your wedding party will be joining you at the river a day or so before the wedding. If rafting sounds a little too adventurous for some in your wedding party, then tubing is a much more relaxed way to enjoy the water before you say I do. You can also go kayaking as a group activity to relax and bond before the big moment. Considering all of the planning and work you have put into your wedding, you probably need a nice relaxing activity to take your mind off of everything and just enjoy the people around you.
Hike the Trails
Another popular activity at our riverside wedding venue is hiking Steamboat’s trails and exploring the mountain. Whether your guests are experienced hikers or are just looking for a leisurely stroll, there’s the perfect trail available for them to get beautiful, vast views and soak up some sunshine. You can plan a hiking trail for your bridal party to explore together, or plan some trails for your guests to enjoy as you take care of last-minute details.
Spend Time at the Lake
Riverside wedding venues are often set in very picturesque locations, such as nearby state parks with beautiful lakes and activities. You or your guests can venture to the nearby state parks and enjoy boating, picnics, and more! You can combine picnics with photo opportunities as well. Capturing pictures of your wedding party and guests enjoying themselves before the actual wedding provides a great way to capture those important memories.
