Unique Wedding Ideas Guests Will Never Forget

18. Take Song Requests From Your Guests

If you are having a backyard wedding and you’re saving money by skipping the DJ and creating a playlist, it only makes sense to ask your guests if they have any song requests. This is a very fun way to get your guests involved with the ceremony. Include this as a line on your invitations, and they can let you know when they RSVP. Also give everyone a cutoff date so you’re not updating the music for a very long time. Asking beforehand means that you can also filter out whatever music you don’t like.

It’s best not to let any of your guests take control of the iPod on your actual wedding day, or allow them to request songs from a professional DJ. You want to either set aside a trusted person to act as the DJ by making sure the music is hooked up to the speakers, or let the playlist play after it has been compiled by you beforehand. There are some jokesters out there who think it would be hilarious to play something raunchy or inappropriate. However, you don’t want anyone to ruin your day.
