Wedding Games

chiungypoo · July 2009

Hi girls, I need ideas on games to play at the wedding. We're having a tiny wedding of 28 people and no one knows each other.I have found a couple of ideas already, where the bride and groom sit back to back holding one of their own shoes and one of each others shoes. The crowd asks them questions like, "Who's the better driver?" and they hold up the groom's/bride's shoe.The other is for the groom to be blindfolded and placed in front of a line of women,and he has to guess which one his bride is by holding the women's hands one by one.Can anyone think of anymore friendly games like these where out guests can get to know each other slightly better? Thanks so much!

I really just think that as long and you have music and feed people good food and drinks, games won't be necessary.

Good food and drinks and music are already taken care of. I wanted games so that everyone can participate and have a good time. They're not all going to be able to find things to talk about and I don't want a couple of single guys or a couple sitting alone in the corner by themselves. Simple little fun games are great ice breakers!

Most people hate games. They have things to talk about. When I am at a wedding and need to break the ice with somone I default to " how do you know the bride and groom?" It is a fine topic starter. Although there are the fallbacks of wow isn't teh weather nice/awful/rainy/sunny/dreary? and so what is your favorite hobby?

Hahaha, I see! That could potentially be disastrous, but sounds like fun! Thanks Georgia_Bride!

Dude, alcohol is not a problem!

) Open bar the whole time baby!

Please don't ask your guests to play games at the wedding. I know very few people who will actually participate in something like this.Your guests will bond over food, drinks, and music.

I think ice breaker games are excruciating. Ditto ff and MOB: your guests are adults. They can certainly find something to talk about and don't need a silly game to do that. People will join in to humor you, but I would hate it. You've got good food and beverages. For a small reception, adults can certainly make small talk and get by. You don't sound like you're giving your guests any credit at all for being able to handle themselves at all, to be honest.

How about Limbo, Musical Chairs, hitting a pinata, heads up 7-up, hang man, do the hokey pokey, farmer in the dell, hot potato (to win the centerpeice), red light green light, and or simon says. :-D

Kati I seriously almost pisssed myself upon reading what your wrote!

chiungy: FWIW, I count far more people on this thread who think that games are lame than those who like them. You do realize that some of the suggestions were sarcastic, don't you?

I also find icebreaker games excruciating and embarrassing. I would retreat to the far wall or fringe of the group and be very very quiet. I doubt I'd leave because I'd be there for the couple, but... it would not be fun. I've already made it clear to my FMIL that I dislike all such games (and thus they'd better not turn up in any of my wedding activities).I understand the logic behind such games, but... yeah, count me as a "don't do it."

I vote for naked Twister. seriously, games will just make people uncomfortable. food and music are really the only necessary ingredients.

I would normally agree that games are a no-no but.....Pin the tail on the MIL, come on? Who wouldn't enjoy that?!

trix1223 · July 2009

souldiva: I'm a MIL (2 times!) so I probably would enjoy it even less than I enjoy other games.

I think guests will get to know each other better by mingling and chatting over a glass of wine and appetizers than by playing games with shoes and blindfolds.Seriously does not sound fun to me, sorry.
