1. Test his knowledge about the bride at the gate
A beautiful way to add spunk at the groom’s entry is to test his knowledge about the bride at the gate. Ask some fun questions to him at the gate about the bride and see how much he knows about the bride. Make sure you get your questions prepared beforehand and all the questions should specifically be related to the bride or their relationship and have fun some elements in them.

2. Welcome the groom with a great dhol performance
Why should only Baratis have all the fun at the wedding? Even bridesmaids deserve to enjoy it to the fullest. Yet another wonderful way of welcoming the groom is with Dhol performance from the bride’s family. Let the groom and all the baratis know how excited the entire bride side is to welcome the groom. And yeah, don’t miss to take the entry tax from the groom. After all that’s the right of each bridesmaid to ask for the tax.
3. Let the groom perform some dares
Yeah, a nice to check out how daring the groom is in all. Often men consider their weddings a biggest dare, let the groom feel it, at the entry door itself that at each step he has to perform some dare to get his honey. Yeah, Keep a bowl full of chits ready that has dares in them, present it to the groom at the entry and let him enter only when he performs at least 3 – 5 dares. Make sure your dares are not very daring, of course you have to see the place also. However, you can have dare options such as, ‘sing a romantic song for the bride’, ‘sing bride’s favorite song’, ‘say a daring dialogue to the bride’s father’, ‘say’ I love you to the bride on a video call’, etc.
4. Welcome the groom with some welcome drinks
Another fun way to welcome the groom at the wedding is to give him some welcome drinks. However, the best would be to have twist to it, like adding groom’s favorite drink in a baby bottle, or nursing bottle or feeding bottle. It will be absolute fun for all of you believe me. Everybody at the door is going to enjoy the twist seeing groom having his drink in a feeding bottle. Well, you can have variations in it.
5. Welcome the groom with a well-choreographed dance performance

6. Welcome with a dart game
This is going to be very, really very entertaining for all of you. For this all you have to do is to place a dart game at the entry gate itself and when the baraat comes, ask the groom to shoot the dart at the center. Only when he does so, he will be allowed to get in or else you can charge hefty entry charges. It’s a win-win situation for both then ☺ ☺
7. Welcome the groom with some enchanting and funny posters
Fun is essential and if you do not find any other idea enchanting, then definitely this is going to work for you.

For instance, you can write ‘ENTRY TAX TO THE MANDAP IS RS………’ (Amount you can fill by yourself), ‘FIRST BRIDE THAN BRIDE’, like this you can come up with your own enchanting ways to welcome the groom with funny posters or placards.
8. Welcome the groom with a wonderful message on the ribbon
Last but not least, you can get creative with the ribbon that you will use at the door. Get a wonderful message imprinted on the ribbon. Make sure the message is funny, teasing, and entertaining. And make sure you arrange for a fancy scissors for the ribbon-cutting ceremony to welcome the groom.
