Nerdy wedding reception ideas

"The vision Robert and I had for the wedding was "adventurer's tavern." We're both big tabletop gamers, especially into Dungeons & Dragons. The quintessential beginning of any new adventure game begins in a medieval-esque tavern. That's what every wedding is--embarking on a brand new adventure together for life. So, we channeled that concept in every decision we made. As for the vision for myself, I wanted to feel like I stepped out of an avant-garde wedding magazine."

A light-up dress. A Minecraft cake. Mario and Luigi as ring bearers. A grand entrance through a Stargate. This geeky video game-themed wedding is amazing.

It’s really hard to find nerdy and unique wedding readings that aren’t lame or played out. I really tried to find the readings I thought were the best and that could be incorporated into a larger wedding theme. Many of these are really cool AND beautiful. I hope you find what you’re looking for!

Before you say the game-changing “I do,” there’s so much prep to do for the happiest day of your life. Picking up the most perfect white dress is one. Sending out fancy invitations to guests (and not forgetting anyone) is another. Planning the whole celebration part is third. And when the list seems never-ending, you realize there has to be a perfect wedding cake and you can’t let yet another baking fail happen.
