The seafront does most of the work: a deckchair photo challenge, forfeit games on the beach, and arcade dares on the pier where the groom has to win a prize or pay a penalty. In the evening, bar-hop through the Lanes and the surrounding streets with a new dare at every stop. Keep costumes seaside-silly rather than rude.
Respect the seafront. Keep the props family-friendly during the day and be aware that the pebble beach and promenade are busy with locals and visitors.
