Games make sure to energize the evening more and all your friends and family there to witness the best moments of your life will be able to mingle and socialize too.

Guest Guess Who

This specially curated game is for people who know the bride and groom during their different stages of life, the ones who are very close. Even though it is a classic game, we have added little twists and turns to make it more pleasurable. It’s basically how well you know the groom and bride.

To play, construct a board with flippable doors and intriguing questions underneath. Now two players will compete against each other and each will secretly choose amongst the bride and groom. To take it forward players take turns asking questions about physical and personal traits about their opponents secret selection. The other person has to guess who the opennonet is talking about. Keep limited questions and make sure to have really close questions to keep it exciting amongst the guests!

Wedding Wheel

This game encourages guest interaction to the fullest. The first step is to ask your wedding planners to make a custom wheel with some fun activities that can be spun throughout the reception. To play this one, make sure everyone is seated and the wheel is kept in between and is the center of attention. Now you can invite guests or encourage them to spin the wheel and perform the activity.

This one is really fun and you end up making a lot of happy memories. For creative ideas, you can write activities like “Pick a Couple to Kiss," "Show Us Your Best Dance Moves" and the classic "Bride & Groom Kiss," “Tell a Joke,” “Dance With All Bridesmaid” and more.

Name That Tune

Put your dancing shoes on for this game. This one is a great way to include DJ into all your wedding fun and of course, dancing your heart out at weddings is a must. While everyone is at the dance floor, making the most of their night. You can begin this famous dancing portion game of the evening.

All you have to do is instruct your DJ to play a small portion of the old classic songs or whatever the vibe is around and ask the crowd to guess the song and this way all who have guessed can come up on the stage and show some of their spectacular moves. DJ here must play songs throughout generations and don't forget to include the kids in this game too.

Shoe Up

The quintessential game of classic bride and groom trivia had to be part of our list. This one is quite simple. While the bride and groom answer some exciting questions about their life ahead, the guests enjoy listening to their hilarious answers. To play this game all you need are two chairs and a bunch of witty questions. Questions suggestions: “who’s most likely to fall asleep during a movie,” “who is a better dancer,” “who made the first move” and more!

So to play this game set up two chairs on the dance floor, the bride and groom will be seated in chairs back to back. Shoes need to be removed, so the bride holds one of her own and one of the groom’s and vice versa for the groom. Now the host can read the shoe game questions out loud for everyone to hear and the couple simply has to raise the shoe of the person for whom the questions best represents. For a little twist, involve guests by giving them a stick with a picture of the bride’s face on one side and groom’s face on the other. When each question is asked the guests can hold up the picture that corresponds to their guess!
