Marriage has always been considered an occasion for happiness, celebration and dancing with friends and relatives. Often people dance to the tunes of DJ at wedding receptions, wear colorful clothes and enjoy music for many hours. However, as the new generation is getting married, some new and fun trends are emerging in place of the traditional first dance and dance floor. Now young couples do not limit their reception to just dancing and singing, but are changing it as per their choice and identity.
This new trend is becoming increasingly popular in Britain and America. Turning the wedding reception into a gaming zone, that is, where earlier people used to step on the dance floor, now the world of virtual reality games, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros. and retro games is settling there. Young couples are avoiding the pressure of dancing and incorporating their memories, favorite games and fun childhood memories into their big day.
How wedding reception became gaming zone
A big reason behind this trend is that not all the guests like to dance, many people hesitate to go on the dance floor in big functions, but in a gaming place everyone can easily join in. Games not only provide an opportunity for entertainment, but also become an easy way to start conversations between strangers and guests.
This type of gaming wedding took place for the first time in 2016 in Wiltshire, Britain. At that time gaming setup was used in only 8 weddings. But now the demand for this trend is increasing rapidly every year. According to London-based wedding planner Joy Pad, last year more than 300 couples booked a video game corner for their reception. This demand is increasing by about 35 percent every year.
How is this trend spreading in America
The same trend is spreading in America too. Los Angeles wedding designer Nancy Park says that young couples now want to get out of the pressure of the first dance and do something that reflects their story and identity. Through gaming setup, couples are able to make their reception personal and memorable. This new trend has also given rise to new possibilities in the wedding industry. Planner George Swain says that now the demand for game setup in weddings is increasing, and this business is continuously growing. Through this, couples not only make their day fun but also create a unique experience for their guests.
New trend of marriage in Britain and America
From Britain to America, young couples no longer want to limit their wedding reception to just dance and formality. They are turning it into a fun, relaxing and social experience with their memories, interests and love of gaming. This trend proves that wedding celebrations cannot be limited to tradition, it can now be celebrated in a personal and creative way.
