Here's How To Have The Most Fun If You've Been Invited To A Boring Shaadi

By Arslan Athar | 12 Mar, 2017

Shaadi! You either love them or hate them to the core of your existence. We all get invited to some random shaadyian, and the less you know the people getting married, the boring the wedding gets. Pakistani shaadis are pretty standard, nothing much changes, but, as a guest, if you put some thought into your strategy, they can be revolutionized.

Also everyone has SOMETHING to say about a shaadi, there’s always going to be some gilla or some shikwa so it’s best to keep your ‘lovely’ mehmaan entertained, always.

Wardrobe Rating

Minus the dulha dulhan, everyone can be rated, numbered and graded! Of course everyone brings their A game (some people even bring in their A+ game) and it would be nice to get some appreciation. Set up a few titles like ‘Most Adorable’, ‘Best Dressed’ etc etc. You may need to throw in some consolation prizes for that one phupho who thinks she deserved to have every single award, because well she didn’t spend 3 hours at the parlor (or pawwlur) for nothing.

Play the Rishta Aunty game

Unless they’re inviting a bunch of randos, you know who’s on the guest list, and you know who’s looking to have their kids hitched ASAP. Sit near all these families. Like super close by to one another. While the showers of marital bliss are showering over the bride and groom’s family, it’s only fair to help those in need, and shift the bliss over.

Karaoke Night

No matter how utterly useless your voices are, you all still love to sing. Especially if the DJ puts your jam on, then that’s it, you’re bound to go down the road of embarrassment. Once the dances are over, grab the dance floor and croon your heart out. Fingers crossed there isn’t a phadda over who’s turn it would be and what not! (BTW get ready for the giggles)

Live video streaming

Have a fun little social media thing and live broadcast the shaadi. Everyone loves to see their face so milk this opportunity. Keep the family and their mehmaan on their toes and get them to interact on your stream.

Shout out points after each dance

Hand out cards with scores or happy/sad faces and after every dance, the audience holds up cards and the team with the highest score wins! No, there won’t be a prize but the satisfaction you beat the other side, and no feeling can beat that.

Show photos of the Dulha and Dulhan exposing their entire life in tasveer

Time to get the super duper embarrassing photos and dusted. The moment has come for them to shine, shine in their shame inducing glory. Ask the DJ for help and maybe he has a projector stashed somewhere.

Crash their rasmein

Now it isn’t fun when you’re just sitting in the back and watching all the joota chupaai madness take place. It would be awesome if we could have paddles handed out to all the mehmaan to raise (or lower) the stakes. Waisay it would become a full on bidding war, but after all what are shaadis without some drama?

Got any more fun ideas to make a boring ass shaadi more interesting?
