Right your event has been organised thanks to the team here at Theme-Works, you’ve lost a stone and fit into your dress – well almost you have to live on celery and water until the big day and himself survived the stag night.

Everything is going smoothly and there’s nothing to worry about. You’re feeling good, pangs of hunger as your stomach considers eating itself not withstanding, now its time to sit back and look forward to the big day.

Then it hits you, a niggling feeling that your hunting fanatic uncle may upset the groom’s vegetarian animal rights activist parents – ok strategic seating change- sorted.

Then you realise Alice your closest friend who can’t bridesmaid because of her irritating tendency to stick her tongue down the groom’s throat after a few drinks is dangerously close to the top table and nobody wants to spend the night in A&E dislodging her tongue ring from his tonsils again.

It would be better to put her with the groom’s rugby mates from school – but she’s never met them.

Queue panic-attack as it slowly dawns on you that there are very few people at the wedding who do know each other, what if they all sit in silence?

You start to sweat and reach for your wedding cake sample.

STOP!!!!

This is what ice-breakers are for and they can start with inviting guests to decorate triangles of bunting (sent with the invite) to hang along the aisle provoking plenty of “OOh I like your glitter heart design – I’m so and so by the way”.
Quizzes about the bride and groom in the drinks reception area will have everyone comparing notes and as the night wears on the guests can select costumes from the dress up box and cast themselves in roles relating to the theme.
By the time the dancing starts everyone will be firm friends and you can enjoy your cake worry free!
