There are many ways to keep guests amused during a wedding reception. Our all-time favourite? Playing games! Wedding reception games make it easier to break the ice and get the crowd to mingle.\u00a0Ready to\u00a0channel your inner child? Let the games begin!<\/p>\n

Wedding guest bingo<\/h2>\n

Here’s a fun little activity that can help guests warm up with one another even before the reception starts. It’s pretty easy.\u00a0Along with their RSVP, ask your guests to send you an interesting fact about them. Collect these ‘fun facts’\u00a0and turn them into bingo cards \/\u00a0seating plan. Now as they look for their seats, they can easily strike small conversations\u00a0using the info written on the bingo cards.<\/p>\n

Couple quiz<\/h2>\n

For some friendly competition, test how well your guests know you and your man,\u00a0through\u00a0a couple quiz. Prepare a mix of easy and difficult questions about how the two of you met, where you first went on a date, how he proposed, etc. You can do it “Bring Me” style, where the person who knows the answer runs for the microphone and says it out loud.\u00a0It will be interesting to know what answers your guests come up with!<\/p>\n

Time for some exercise<\/h2>\n

If you’re holding a spring or summer wedding outdoors, then\u00a0you can invite your guests over to some well-loved outdoor games. We’re talking about sack races, tug of war, croquet, lawn twister! We suggest playing before eating dessert!<\/p>\n

\"Giant<\/a>

You can’t go with with Jenga<\/h2>\n

It will be\u00a0hard for your guests to resist playing Jenga, especially if you have the giant version of it! This is perfect for a large outdoor area where guests won’t be worried making a tower ‘crash’.<\/p>\n

Heads up!<\/h2>\n

Everyone’s been playing this game since it was featured on Ellen. And\u00a0we totally get why\u2014it’s addictive, in a good way! \u00a0To see how it works, watch the video below.\u00a0Bring things up a notch by asking the guests to form #TeamBride and #TeamGroom. Whoever scores higher earns bragging rights and a chance to watch the losing team perform a group dare!<\/p>\n
