I was doing a search for party themes and ran across a 'fear factor' theme. The last stunt that the group had to do was a skit, for which they had 10 minutes to prepare and the skit had to include the characters that the people were dressed as. It didn't really do much for me cause it didn't have anything to do with a wedding.

But then it hit me. In the Netherlands, its traditional for the guests to do a 'stukje' or skit in english, for the bridal pair. That's how I could incorporate the fear factor stunt that I had read into the wedding theme. With dutch people you really have to have an activity/game or they just sit and don't mingle.

So this is what I have so far:

Theme:Wedding
Food: Wedding buffet complete with wedding cake
Games/activities: Dancing, skit, throwing the bouquet
Decorations: Wedding altar + organist, gift table with creepy gifts, guest book

The only part I'm still having problems with is the bridal pair and the master of ceremony.
Should I have static props from skeletons as the bride and groom or ask a couple of regular guests to play the parts. One of my new coworkers has already offered to come play a role at our party. She's a very outgoing gothic type. I could make her the bride or use her as the ceremony master-ess. Two of our most fun guests (and regular attendees) are men. They see each other once a year (at our party) and go crazy. The one guy has already attended a couple of times dressed as a woman. And when he does, the other guy has a blast trying to hit on him (as a her) the whole night. I was thinking those two might make a good bridal pair.
The other option is that Pieter and I dress as the wedding pair, but we are not nearly as much fun and crazy as some of our guests. Well, actually Pieter could probably pull it off but then much later into the night after a few drinks lol

Decisions, decisions.

Any more ideas or input?
