A great bonding game for every member of the party young and old, this activity will provide hours of fun. Just make sure your hubby makes it to the dance floor!

For example have you ever considered a Dark ages feast, Elizabethan masked ball, or traditional banquet complete with harpists, jugglers and jesters? You could totally surprise your guests by taking them back in time to an unforgettable party. Or, if you want them to truly experience the event, get them to dress up and make it the theme of your wedding.
