Viking wedding theme

Plllllllease post after pix of the axe throwing! That sounds amazing.

View Quoted Comment I plan on doing so! The wedding is going to be a blast! We are trying to both get our muscles built up to look like warriors on our wedding day, it's going to be absolutely insane!!

This sounds dangerous. Why the viking theme?

View Quoted Comment I am pagan, and he is really into anything Norse... Just a couple of unique people that want our day to be unique and express our personalities fully.

As long as its fully hosted with food and drinks, have at it.

I would be really hesitant to have a drinking contest or an ax throwing while/after people have been drinking. You dont really want your "big boom" to be an ambulance.

My fiancé wants to know if he could come! This sounds super awesome and I can’t wait to see it. Our friends are actually planning to have a Viking wedding, so I’ll pick their brains for you lol.

The folks at Offbeat Bride will love this too, btw.

This is so awesome! I can't wait to see pictures! You could have some kind of variation on pin the tale on the donkey(childish but once you have enough drinks most everything is fun). You could also have a fun photo booth but with some kind of viking themed props, maybe a ship background. Also while reading this, I'm automatically thinking of what your hair will be like. I love all the warrior braids looks!

This is what FH is doing for his bachelor party and I AM SOOOOOOO JEALOUS!!!

I think my only concern is if you pack your wedding full of activities, are people going to have a chance to relax and enjoy? I really think you have enough planned. Allow time for your guests to eat, relax and enjoy.

View Quoted Comment The axe throwing will be before the drinking.

View Quoted Comment I'm not entirely sure as to what my hair style is going to be. I have red hair and am trying to grow it out.

View Quoted Comment If you can make it to Texas, the now the merrier. Haha! There is only going to be 3 People from my side of the family and the majority will be friends and his side of the family.

View Quoted Comment We are making the food ourselves, and also allowing guests to bring food, basically a pot luck, and friends have volunteered to distribute the wine, beer, and rum.

This is also very dangerous. Who's going to make sure the food is at temp? Full? that guests arent over consuming alcohol?

Your wedding theme sounds like a lot of fun, but you should seriously reconsider this part.

First of all, it's not good hosting to have your guests subsidize your reception. You host, you pay. It's as simple as that. Don't ask people to make food. In addition, then you have issues with people with allergies and intolerances, as well as sanitation. Plus people will have to work at your wedding to keep the table full and that really is rude not to allow your guests to enjoy the party.

You also need a licensed bartender for safety reasons. In my province you have to have a liquor license and a bartender with their serving credentials or it's illegal. There are reasons why that's the case.

We do ax throwing all the time & there is often beer served, no one gets out of hand. Your wedding theme sounds AMAZING!!! I can't wait for your BAM.

Edit: I didn't see you already put, ax throwing before alcohol!

View Quoted Comment Funny you say that, we actually live in Texarkana 😂

Viking wedding sounds badass and fun. I’ve always wanted to go to a themed wedding and I haven’t had a chance to yet. Looking forward to seeing the pics!

View Quoted Comment So do we, haha!
