Do you think games at your wedding is a lame idea? Definitely not! Maybe you have some time left during the reception. You can fill this time with food and music, but the tips below make it really fun for you and the guests. It may sound dull, but it can really provide a lot of fun. Customize the games so that they are related to you and your partner.
Scavenger hunt
A scavenger hunt is a great icebreaker for the wedding. This is a great idea if there is some time left between the ceremony and the party. Organize a hunt through the city or village where you are getting married. Think of questions about the city or about yourself. Award a small prize to the winning team.
Drinking games
Drinking games always provide a lot of entertainment for you and the guests. Maybe this is not your style, then you’d better not do it. However, many guests find drinking games funny. Play the game ‘I have never’ by asking questions about yourself and your partner. Those who have the answer wrong must, of course, take a sip!
Life-size word search
Take a huge blackboard to the wedding location and make a big word puzzle. Of course the words are related to you and your partner. This is a game that guests can do when they walk by. Therefore it does not cost extra time, but it is fun for people who get bored or are looking for a little distraction.
Real life memory
This game is all about a good memory. Think of some questions together with friends and family. Save everything until the wedding day. To play the game, sit with your backs to each other. One of you two gets a pair of headphones with music and the other has to answer the questions. For example: where was your first date? The other person gets the same questions. Do the answers match? The winning couple gets a small prize. You could also give a hint for a puzzle that they have to solve.
Don’t impose anything
Completely inspired by our list? Remember that you should never force the guests to join the games. Of course you can try to persuade them. Nevertheless, there are always people who might find it very annoying to join a large group.
