Planning a wedding? That seems hard enough (that’s what she said!). However, if you and your significant Dunder Mifflin associate are avid fans of the iconic show, then you already know that having an Office-themed wedding is worthy of a Dundie! From custom wedding invitations and Jim Halpert-themed comics from YourComicStory.com to a special day of which even the party planning committee would approve, let’s look at some of The Office themed wedding ideas!

WEDDING INVITATIONS FROM DUNDER MIFFLIN INC.

Everyone loves themed details in weddings, so how cool would a Dunder Mifflin Inc memo be for a wedding invitation? Have the memo read “HIGH PRIORITY MEMO. TO: (recipient). FROM: (bride and groom). DATE: (wedding date). WE’D LIKE TO ASK YOUR PRESENCE IN THE DUNDER MIFFLIN CONFERENCE ROOM LOCATED AT (wedding venue) AT (what time wedding starts) FOR OUR WEDDING. – (your signatures) Heads of Party Planning Committee.”

CHOOSE AND DECORATE YOUR OFFICE THEMED WEDDING VENUE

While Scranton, Pa isn’t close for everyone, you can always bring Scranton to them. If you prefer an outdoor wedding, find a local farm or field that would allow you to transform it into Schrute Farms. Surround the area with beets, a seesaw, and bales of hay. Hang string lights in a barn and get a German speaking minister, and you’ve got a Schrute farm wedding! We’ll leave it up to you if you decide to get married standing in your own graves though.
Rather have an indoor wedding? Then bring Scranton to a large indoor space like a banquet hall, enclosed park pavilion, and hotels and resorts. Design a replica of Pam’s reception desk out of cardboard and have guests sign their name in the Dunder Miffllin binder guest book as they enter. Put up a large, plain banner inside that says, “it is your wedding”, rent out some office chairs for the ceremony, and scatter half-blown-up balloons on the floor. Also, an ice sculpture of Michael Scott, surrounded by a variety of chocolate-covered fruits would be a very classy touch.

GET THE PERFECT MUSIC FROM THE OFFICE FOR YOUR WEDDING

A golden ticket idea for the wedding’s reception is to hire a wedding band and get them to play covers of The Police. Have them call their band “Scrantonicity” for the sake of your wedding. Don’t forget other great Office songs like “That One Night” that Jan kept playing in the dinner party and “Everybody Dance Now” that Michael blares in his Café Disco. Of course, a playlist would suffice fine for your big day, but then you wouldn’t be able to ask the band to announce halfway through the set that “we are now Scrantonicity 2, NOT Scrantonicity, which we are no longer a part of.”

SERVE THEMED FOOD AND DRINKS STRAIGHT FROM THE OFFICE

Start by serving your guests small appetizers like bite sized pizza in a mini pizza box that’s designed to look like Alfredo’s Pizza Cafe (the good pizza) or get mini boiling pots to serve Kevin’s famous chili. For the main course serve Jan Levinson’s Osso Bucco from the Dinner Party episode with a red wine plum chutney in a small wine glass to resemble Michael dipping his food into his drink before eating it. For dessert, nothing would finish the meal off better than some of Angela’s homemade brownies served alongside your wedding cake. If you really want to kick it up a notch, make a create your own pretzel station that would make the Stanleys in your friends and family smile.
For main drinks, serve some expertly picked wine from Oscar, and Michael’s famous orange-vod-juice- ka (a screwdriver). Include a long island iced tea made with high proof rum and call it “The Meredith.” Guests can also refill their water anytime from The Office’s water cooler. Don’t forget to leave your guests with a small bottle of Champagne like the kind Jim left on Dwight’s desk.

PARTY FAVORS AND GIFTS THE OFFICE STYLE

It’s important to show appreciation to those who came to support you on your wedding day. Send them off with a mini Dundie award and maybe some candles “Serenity by Jan”. You could also give them a creative gift they’ll remember like a custom wedding book detailing the events of your special day, think “The Adventures of Jimmy Halpert” comic book but all about your adventures. Have a polaroid photo booth in the reception where guests pose as Pam taking mental pictures of the day and provide the picture with their gift.
After reading all The Office themed wedding ideas listed here, you’ll have what you need to take your special day a step above.
