Unique and Memorable Games for Your Wedding Celebration
After the vows are shared and a beautiful ceremony brings two people together in a lovely marriage, it is time to celebrate. Of course, there will be dancing, but there are many other activities that you can bring to the reception as well to keep the guests engaged and having a great time. It is also a great way to create a memorable experience for everyone. Here is a list of unique activities and games that you can bring to your elevated wedding reception.
Shoe Game
The shoe game has recently become popular as a wedding classic. The couple sits in chairs back-to-back with each other. They each have one of each of their shoes in both hands, then are given prompts, like “who takes longer to get ready” or “who is on their phone more.” Then, they must hold up the shoe of who they believe the prompt relates to more. This is a game that can bring a lot of laughs and fun for the couple as well as the guests watching.
Photo Scavenger Hunt
A creative game idea could be to formulate a photo scavenger hunt, writing up a list of pictures that people could take at the wedding such as “a pretty dress”, “someone dancing with the bride” and more. This is a great way to be interactive with it as well as get many candid moments captured as people try to take photos of all the prompts. This also allows for the bride and groom to see their guest’s perspective with memories to last forever.
Couple Trivia
Couple Trivia papers can be put on tables and can either be played individually or together as a table to answer questions about the couple, like where their first date was, where they met, favorite colors, etc. A fun prize for the winning table or individual can spice up the activity as well!
Couple Crossword Puzzle
A customized crossword puzzle of meaningful moments to the couple is another creative way to keep people entertained. This can also be a game that is put on the tables, or a big board can be created to have some interaction between the guests as they try to figure out the word to fill in the crossword.
Lawn Games
Are you planning an outdoor wedding? Consider incorporating lawn games to get guests moving, interacting, and having fun beyond just dancing. Games like Giant Jenga, Giant Connect 4, and Cornhole are great options for a wedding reception. These games can also be personalized, such as printing the bride and groom’s names on the Jenga pieces or decorating the cornhole boards and choosing bean bag colors that reflect their favorite shades.
Anniversary Dance
The anniversary dance is a tradition for weddings that is very sweet and romantic to incorporate. The DJ will call for all couples to come to the dance floor to dance with their partners. Then, as the song goes on, they will eliminate couples based on how long they have been together for, leaving the couple that has been together for the longest to dance on the floor. The anniversary dance is a very sweet tradition and a great way to celebrate long-lasting love.
Customized Wedding Mad Libs
Creating your own Mad Libs with fill-in-the-blank spaces can be a fun activity for guests. They can write words that will make funny stories to read after the reception, providing another way to create memories and enjoy some good laughs.
Great Games to Enjoy During Your Wedding
