Fun Dancing Alternatives

I'm having a late-afternoon/evening wedding next June at my parent's 25 acre farm. There should be about 50-70 people. I want a fun laid-back wedding however, I hate dancing. I hate doing it and I hate watching it and my fiance isn't too big on it either. For the last month or so I've been flirting with the idea of a big capture-the-flag game (bride's side versus groom's). Recently I've also though a murder mystery game might be fun. I have always wanted to participate in one.

I realize the capture-the-flag game comes with some problems: Anyone wearing dressy clothing would have to change (I want a very casual wedding so this shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as I warn people), grandparents wouldn't participate (they probably wouldn't have danced either), people might get lost (supply everyone with whistles?), etc.
Are there other issues I'm not thinking of? Do you think these are good ideas? What are some other fun ideas that you guys can think of?
