Active Wedding Reception Games
We've all been to receptions that are standard - we welcome and
celebrate the new married couple, watch them 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 an excellent way to get people out of their
chairs, meeting people they might not otherwise know and feeling like
they are truly a part of the celebration, not just observers.
One fun and active game that can be played by all your guests, including
grandma as well as the young 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 the DJ). The MC will
have a list of "wants" prepared before the reception. Everyone sits at
their tables, and waits to hear the command. The MC says he wants a
person with painted toenails. All the women with painted toenails run to
the front of the room, toward the MC. Each time a table sends someone
to the front first, they get a point.
Points should be tallied during the course of this game and prizes
awarded at the end of the game. Be sure to have some obvious "wants", as
is the painted toenails, or a man with a mustache or a child with a
pink dress. But also include some surprises, like "a man with a brown
purse" which will require a man to find a woman at his table with the
brown purse and run up to the front of the room with that.
Another fun wedding reception game that includes all your guests is
musical chairs using men as the chairs. All the men line up and kneel on
one knee. The women begin playing 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 instead people are
eliminated when either the man falls down when the woman finds his knee
or when the woman falls down. Both are out either way, and if both fall
down, they are also both out then (as well as perhaps a bit bruised).
This is a fun game that often brings on gales of laughter and adds to a
relaxed reception atmosphere.
If many guests are traveling a good distance to the wedding or don't
know many other guests, it's always fun to include a game that will
allow them to now only get to know each other but the bride and groom as
well. For this game, you'll need a MC again, which can be a very
outgoing member of the wedding party or the DJ. The reception guests are
broken into two groups, which can be as simple as having people count
off "1, 2, 1, 2" and so on until the entire guest list is either a "1"
or a "2". Then the two groups band together for the duration of the
game.
The DJ, or MC, offers a series of questions relating to the bride and
groom. The teams should work together to answer the questions, then as
quickly as possible provide the answer. The bride and groom will confirm
if the answer is correct or not. This is an excellent way for otherwise
"stranger" guests to get to know one another and have some fun in the
process. It's also an excellent way to get to know the bride and groom!
Organizing games at a wedding reception is a great way to get people
involved and make them feel they are truly a part of the celebration.
It's also a way to fill time, if the wedding planners know this isn't a
"dancing" group or if you want to loosen people up for a long night of
celebrating. Whether a small or large wedding, reception games work for
just about any group.
In addition, don't assume wedding reception guests will be offended or
annoyed by these active games. Most people report to wedding planners
they truly enjoy being more active and having fun games to play during a
wedding reception.
