We've all been to receptions that are standard - we welcome and celebrate the new marriage, to see dance and enjoy cake with them. But creative couples often enjoy coming up with fun games that include the entire guest list.
Including the guests is a great way to get people out of their chairs, meet people they would not otherwise know and feeling like they are really part of the celebration, not just observers.
A fun and active that can be played by all your guests, including grandma and the little children, is "want it now."
In this game, you designate a master of ceremonies (if you have a DJ for your wedding reception, this person can serve as a DJ). The MC has a list of "wants" prepared before the reception. Everyone sits at their tables and listen for the order. The emcee said he wanted a person with painted nails. All women with painted toenails run to the front of the room, toward the MC. Each time a table sends someone to the front first, get a point.
Points should be harvested in this game and awards ceremony after the game. Make sure you have some obvious "wants" such as nail polish, or a man with a mustache or a child with a pink dress. But also some surprises, "a man with a paper bag" that requires a man to find a woman at his table with the brown bag and run to the front of the room with him.
Another fun wedding reception game that includes all your guests is musical chairs with men in chairs. All the men line up and kneel on one knee. The women begin the game of musical chairs, but when the music stops, they must find a knee to sit on. No "chairs" are removed during the version of the game, but people are eliminated, and the man falls when the woman finds his knee or when the woman falls to the ground. Both of these are either under way, and if both fall, they are also both out then (and maybe a little 'dented). This is a fun game that often results in a burst of laughter and the atmosphere more relaxed reception.
If many guests travel a good distance for the wedding or do not know many other guests, it's always fun to include a game that they can now only get to know each other, but the bride and groom as well. For this game, you need a new MC, which can be a very outgoing member of the wedding party or DJ. Home Guests are divided into two groups, which can be as simple as having people count "1, 2, 1, 2" and so on until the entire guest list is either a " 1 "or a" 2 ". Thus the two groups join forces for the duration of the match.
DJ or MC, offers a range of issues related to the bride and groom. Teams must work together to answer questions, and then as soon as possible, provide the answer. The bride and groom will confirm if the answer is correct or not. This is a great way for other "foreign" guests to know each other and have fun in the process. It is also a great way to get to know the bride and groom!
Organizing games at a wedding reception is a great way to involve people and make them feel like part of the celebration. It is also a way to fill time if the wedding planners know this is not a "dancing" group or if you want to loosen people for a long night to celebrate. Whether a small or large wedding, reception games work for almost any group.
Wedding guests will also assume offended or annoyed by these active games. Most people report to wedding planners they truly enjoy being more active and have fun games to play at a wedding reception.
