Let the games begin: some fun game ideas to play during the reception

Let the games begin: Fun Games to Play During the Reception

Dinner dancing and good company is always a good recipe for a fabulous receptions but here are some fun games that you can play to get everyone involved during your post wedding festivities.

Bride or Groom: For this game all you need is an MC and paddles with bride or groom on opposing sides. You hand each guest a paddle and the MC asks “who” questions such as “Who snores the loudest” or “who is the neatest” and the guest hold up their paddles with their answer bride or groom.


Couples Challenge: You will need the bride and groom and two other couples as well as an MC and white boards or chalk boards.  The object of this game is to see which couple knows each other better. You ask the couples questions that they should know about the other and see if they can get the correct answer. Some questions can be like “what is her favorite flower” or “what is  his favorite sports team”. Each couple tallies up their points and after a certain number of questions whoever has the most points wins.






Play that tune: Have two teams of however many you want and have the MC play a song and the first team to guess the song correctly wins a point. The team that reaches 15 points first wins






Battle of the sexes: Divide a group of people up into makes vs females and pick a team leader. Have the MC ask questions on pop culture, music, television or even academic questions. The team deliberates and the team leader says the answer out loud. The team who had the correct answer wins a point. Whoever has the most points and the end of the game wins.



Prizes.....Some fun prize ideas can be as simple as fun candies with the bride and grooms names on them. Some prizes that couples use are their center pieces. If you have a flower arrangement or a something that you know you won’t need 20 so give center pieces away as prizes. This way you don’t have to just throw them away after you are done with them.
