Sten Celebrations
Traditionally , before their big day couples would celebrate separately , throwing individual hen or stag dos .
But , now couples are choosing to unite for their pre-nuptial fun , by celebrating with a ‘ sten ’ do instead .
Especially handy if the couple share mutual friends , the ‘ sten ’ is a great way to bring everyone together before the big day , and it ’ s also a great way to make memories as a couple ahead of saying ‘ I do ’.
From private dining experiences to escape rooms , there ’ s no end of options for ways to entertain and wow ahead of your wedding .
Interactive Experiences
The evening entertainment is often one of the most talked about parts of a wedding , and it seems that for 2025 , couples are capitalising on that by bringing interactive elements to their weddings .
While bands , DJs and photo booths will all still remain fixtures for people to enjoy , brides and grooms are also seeking interactive experiences to share with their guests .
Live painters , magicians , comedians ,
karaoke booths and even computer gaming can all be part of your wedding day , and they ’ re a perfect way to keep guests entertained during things like photos or while the room is being set up ahead of the evening reception .
Mini Masterpieces
Not to be confused with cupcakes , for 2025 many couples are choosing to have individual wedding cakes made for their guests .
Perfect for smaller , more intimate weddings , these cakes allow each guest to enjoy their own sweet treat to indulge in on the day or take home and enjoy after the event .
Often couples complain that much of their wedding cake gets wasted , but this way you can ensure that every bite will be accounted for .
Earlymoon Adventures
You ’ ve heard of the honeymoon , but what about the earlymoon ? This trend is set to become big news for the year ahead , and it sees couples taking a well-earned break away before their big day .
Some choose to jet off abroad , others might opt for a quiet weekend in the countryside , but the idea of the earlymoon is to reconnect before the wedding and enjoy some muchdeserved time together as a couple before the madness of the wedding commences .
