Always popular with grooms, sporting themes can reflect a personal
passion, whether it’s a sport that one of you or both of you actively participates
in or simply something you follow. Football is an obvious choice but in
actual fact any sport will work; for example if you enjoy rugby, GAA, golf, or
sailing you can easily incorporate these into the names you give your
tables and the favours you give to guests, and you could include a
themed quiz either as part of your entertainment or in the form of
trivia questions to get guests chatting over dinner. If you enjoy
horse-racing, why not adopt this as your theme? Name tables
after jockeys or Grand National winners and think about having a night
at the races’ as part of your entertainment you could even give your
guests a free bet’ instead of a favour, with any proceeds going to a
charity of your choice.
