Kissing Games
I read a magazine article recently the suggested having your guests throw a buck or two into a hat that gets donated to the charity of your choice. Not really sure I like that idea, I'm pretty sure I'd be unimpressed if I attended a wedding that did it.
What did you do/are you doing for your kissing game?
Edit - the article also suggested the bigger the donation, the longer the kiss.

I've heard of kissing games at a 13 year old party, but I'm way past 13.

Did guests just clink thier glasses, or is this unpopular in your area?

To get DH and I to kiss, guests clinked their glasses; although we occassionally did just bc we felt like it

And I am not sure what throwing money in a bucket and donating it to a charity has to do with kissing. Maybe I am missing something here.

Because I was thinking of a whole other type of kissing game, and it made me flash back to junior high.
We did not do this. We kissed when we wanted to.

Things that your guests have to do to get the couple to kiss during the reception. Such as:
Copy cat game - couples come up and kiss and whatever they do the Bride & Groom have to do.
Singing - sing a song that has the word "love" in it.
Q&A - Guests pull a question about B&G if they get it right, the B&G kiss, if they get it wrong they have to kiss another guest.
Etcetera.
The money hat sounds horrifically trashy, and I'm from North Da-fucking-kota. We get away with doing completely terrible etiquette faux-pas up here and I would NEVER want that at my wedding reception.

[QUOTE]People just clinked stuff to get us to kiss. I think that will just happen at a lot of weddings, whether the bride and groom want it to happen or not. Unless they want their guests to do something else - like, sing a song with the word "love" in it or something. <strong>The money hat sounds horrifically trashy, and I'm from North Da-fucking-kota.

That's what I thought too. It's amazing how many bad ideas there are in wedding magazines.
[QUOTE]This might be a really dumb question. But, how does putting money in a hat have to do with anything? Like, if someone puts money in, the B&G kiss? How would you even know someone was doing so? Is it announced? The logistics of this seem weird to me, or else I'm just completely dense and missing something obvious

Ok, glad to know it wasn't just me. I thought the same thing, cengle.
I love kissing H, but I don't want to do it at the command of others, if that makes sense.
As I've said before, I'm not a fan of any exercise that involves guests having to pull out their wallets during the reception, no matter how worthy the cause seems.

I have seen the copycat and the singing done, and been to weddings where nothing happened. Anything or nothing is fine. Just do what you want.
