These days couples are trying to incorporate their own personal touches into their wedding. Sports is a fun and general theme where you can include your favorite sport, or multiple sports. Here are some sports wedding inspiration.
Venues
If you have a favorite sports team, see if you can get married in the arena or stadium, or use part of the venue for your reception. You may have to bring your own food and catering staff if needed. However, you may be able to say your vows near home plate or at center ice. Ask about wedding packages at the venue. Golf courses are a great venue for an outdoor ceremony and a reception either indoors or outdoors. Most golf courses offer wedding packages as well.
Reception
If you’re a sports fan, a nod to a game of football, baseball, soccer, or tennis at the reception can be a way to get some competition going. With the bride and groom picking their favorite teams, now Team Bride vs Team Groom, the bride and groom being captains adds a fun element. Play your team’s anthem for your grand entrance. The bridal party can also have their favorite player’s walk-up song.
Food and drinks are another fun way to incorporate sports into your wedding reception. Consider appetizers you would usually find at the stadium, elevated such as pigs in a blanket, nachos, sliders, or chicken sandwiches with sauces. Dinner could be elevated barbeque with steak, chicken, fish, and sides. Desserts could be your wedding cake in the shape of a sports ball, or cupcakes in your team colors. Sports themed cocktails are a great way to incorporate popular stadium drinks.
Décor
Décor is a great way to add your love of sports to your wedding. Team colors, and team flags on the wall are a great way to show your team spirit. Florals on the tables or carried by your flower girls in the colors of your team are also a great nod to your favorite team. Table clothes are a great way to add your teams colors to the reception. Trophy cup center pieces, and sports equipment on the walls is a fun way to carry the sports theme.
Guest Favors
Guest favors are a fun way to continue the sports theme. If you’re a fan of team sports consider personalized jerseys with your names and wedding day. For golf fans, include a golf ball with your wedding date for guests as a keepsake.
Wedding Looks
A sports theme is a fun way to show your team spirit or your favorite players on your wedding day. A jersey for the reception could be a way to be comfortable to dance all night long, and adding custom sneakers is a great addition. Sports bags are fun and can be useful for guests after your wedding.
