Here is a list of the different ways we have seen to make the bride and groom kiss. We've put a few ideas down that we have either created or have seen work successfully at other weddings.
Spinning Wheel
Guests come up and spin the wheel. The coloured star they land on will determine what they must do. If it lands on a gold star then the couple will kiss. If they are not fortunate enough to land on gold, then they must do whatever the corresponding color dictates. You need to assign a task to the five other colors. Below is a list of some of the favorite tasks used. If you have any suggestions for tasks please email us. The Bride & Groom may choose to kiss only when it lands on one of the two gold stars or upon completing the task assigned to the color. The wheels are provided free compliments of Vanrock Sound for couples that are booked with us.
Get the drinks for your table until someone lands on this space again.

Guests are told that they must ride a rather small tricycle (must be over 18 to do so or you'll have the kids all over it). When the guest wishes you to kiss, he/she must sit on the tricycle and wait for the music to begin. Our DJ has around 70 songs ready to go relating to your guests. Songs include Born to be wild, Come on ride it, Hot legs, Dude looks like a lady and so on. Our host will match a song up to the person about to ride the trike. When the music starts your guest is covered in a mist of fog (optional) and must ride around the floor for about 20 seconds. This kissing style is very high energy and not suggested for the up-scaled weddings.
Create two boxes one for the males, one for the females. Have all the guest's names in their respective boxes. If they wish the bride and groom to kiss they must select a name out of a box and kiss or hug that person. This usually reduces the amount of kissing for the bride and groom. It is always a good idea for your MC to have a preset name taped to the side of the box to give an example of how it is done, this of course would be dramatically overplayed.
Rent a golf putting green and have the guests putt a hole in one to make them kiss. This has become popular at a lot of weddings but, would be better if only given three chances to put it in and make a consequence if they miss. Our favorite idea is to have a list of chores or services in a box that they must pick from including things like...Must get the bride her drinks for the evening. Must polish the grooms shoes. Must set up the golf ball for the rest of the golfers and so on....
Have the decorator of the hall hide kisses or some other confectionary in the room. If the guest finds a candy the bride and groom kiss. If you can find the different colored kisses that come out you can also say that the people that find the "red" ones get to keep the center pieces.
We have several requests a year for karaoke at weddings. Some people will incorporate this into singing a love song. A good way to make this difficult is to tell your guests that the song will be chosen for them and that they will have to sing the first verse.
Instead of the regular love songs, choose something that best suits the bride and grooms character. For example bunny songs, winnie the pooh or cartoons.
Guests must come up and tell a short story about the bride or groom.
Guests strap on a basket with a ball strung to it. They must use their hips to swing the ball into the basket. The higher the points sank the better the kiss must be.
