We may be a little bit biased but...we can't think of any place more perfect for a wedding than Cape Cod! Breathtaking beaches, starry night skies, landscapes out of an artist's dream, and vacation rentals to match. WeNeedaVacation is here to provide you with all the wedding weekend inspiration you could possibly need!
Greet your guests with a bonfire on the beach
What better way to welcome all your loved ones to your Cape Cod wedding weekend than with a bonfire on the beach? A budget-friendly activity, all you need to host this event is the necessary permit (varies according to town), cozy clothes, beach blankets, and all the s’mores essentials. Nightfall on Cape Cod is when everything calms down. The traffic has subsided, the stars have snuck out, and the only sounds surrounding you are from wildlife and waves. Whether you’re sitting back in the sand stargazing or catching up with an old friend by the fire, this intimate gathering is a wonderful way to kick off your wedding weekend.
Skip the stress of hosting a rehearsal dinner at a restaurant
Let’s face it...Getting a reservation at one of Cape Cod’s highly-praised restaurants can be quite competitive (especially for a large wedding party), so why not eliminate the competition and stress all together? Enjoy an authentic Cape Cod clambake from the comfort of your WeNeedaVacation rental! There are numerous companies on Cape Cod such as Cape Cod Chef on Call that will come to you and cater (no pun intended) to your every need! Additionally, hiring a local shellfisherman for a raw bar is a wonderful way to support the local community and indulge in world famous oysters. Cape Cod Oyster Experiences will come to you with sweet, succulent oysters and the option to learn how to shuck like a professional!
Have a laid-back beach day
There’s no denying it...wedding weekends can be chaotic. What better way to unwind before the big day than by sitting in the sun at one of the Cape’s beautiful beaches? Visiting a beach is an activity everyone in your group is guaranteed to enjoy, and its an awesome way to show your wedding party why you chose the Cape as the place for your wedding. Pack the spike ball, can jam, and bocce, and get ready for a fun-filled afternoon. There are even some beaches on the Cape that don’t require a beach sticker!
Partake in a classic Cape Cod tradition
One of the many reasons Cape Cod is so special is because of the amount of traditions tied to it. To name a few, there’s catching a Cape Cod Baseball League game beneath the lights, cozying up in your car for a drive-in movie, watching the sunset at the beach with a soft serve ice cream cone in hand, climbing the top Pilgrim Monument, engaging in a competitive game of mini golf. The list goes on. No matter which tradition you choose to take part in, your wedding party will feel more connected to this special place after they share the experience with you.
Indulge in an Authentic Cape Cod Experience
Say you're playing one of those word association games where someone says "Cape Cod" and you have to say the first word that comes to mind. We bet many peoples first word will be seafood (specifically, oysters). Many towns on Cape Cod are famous for their briny, succulent oysters, and what better way to make the most of a Cape Cod wedding weekend than by ensuring you get a glimpse at authentic Cape Cod? Cape Cod Oyster Experiences offers an immersive introduction to oysters, clams, and shellfishing on Cape Cod. Every participant will go home with all the tools (and skills) need to shuck like a pro. When you participate in a Cape Cod Oyster Experience, you'll be taking a piece of your Cape Cod wedding weekend home with you.
