Entertaining Wedding Reception Games
Start with musical chairs
One of the best traditional games that you can implement in your wedding ceremony is that of musical chairs. Children and adults alike will love this exciting game. You can also add some new and interesting twists to it. For instance, you may plan your guests to circle the chairs in one direction, and then go in the opposite direction. Or you may make your guests clap at the same time they revolve around the chairs.
Badminton
If you are planning an outdoor wedding reception, your guests might like playing badminton that is quite easy and enjoyable to play. You can arrange this game for your guest anywhere where there is enough space for two or people exchanging strokes with one another.
Pass the balloon
It’s really a simple game in which you can divide the guests into teams and they have to pass a balloon down a line of people without using their hands.
Limbo line
This is another fun game that will make people go under the bar and see how far they can go before they end up taking the limbo stick with them.
Three-legged race
Make the wedding guests partner up and put their legs that are closest to each other together with bonded legs together. The team that crosses the finish line first will be the winner. It will be fun to watch and fun to take part in.
Dance off
Put on a song and have all wedding guests take part in their best moves. Make one person as the judge to decide who did the best dance to the song.
Word search puzzle
Create a word search puzzle to entertain all your wedding guests. Make sure the words used in the word search puzzles must not exceed the learning levels of the guests.
Poker Station
It’s good to rent a poker table, set up seats and get a dealer for a night. A poker station will be a great fit, especially with the gentlemen.
Cornhole
It is a game for everyone and can be played anywhere. Two cornhole platforms and 8 corn bags and you are ready to play the game. This game can be played with an individual or team.
Bocce Ball
Just having enough lawn space is enough to create a bocce ball area. You don’t need an actual court to play this game, simply set up the balls and scorecards to get started!
Giant dice
Easy and entertaining! Have a jumbo set of dice to shake things up! This is one such wonderful wedding reception game that will make guests interact with each other.
Bride or Groom
Make women form one team and the men, the other team. The bride’s guest on one side and the groom’s guests on the other. Now make the host ask funny questions to add fun and interaction among the teams.
Hot bouquet
This game requires little music and a flower bouquet. Make the guests sit in a circle, each guest simply takes the wedding reception flowers and passes it to the next guest. If the bouquet is dropped or is in the hands of a guest when the music stops, the person will be out. Continue the game until there is one person left standing.
Battle of the Sexes
Quite a simple game! Make one leader among all the sexes who has a whistle. The one who blows the whistle first will get the opportunity to answer. The team that answers correctly gets a point. Continue the game until all questions have been answered.
