It’s been a long day. Not only for the happy couple but for all involved. The vows have been taken, the toasts have been made and the food has been enjoyed. Now it’s time for your wedding reception DJ to bring out his collection of Wham’s greatest hits to a mumble of groans from your guests. A great way to provide entertainment for them (and plenty of laughs) is to play fun wedding reception games. Below is a list of five of our favorites.
Tying The Knot (Bride & Groom)
You will need a piece of rope for this game. The bride and groom must hold one end of the rope each, and with the other hand behind their backs, coordinate their motor skills and work together to tie a knot! Sounds simple right?
The Cinderella Dance
(All Singles)
All the single men should line up at the side of the dance floor and turn their backs to the guests. Now the single ladies must all remove their shoes, place one in the center of the floor and form another line opposite with the second shoe behind their back. The men should take it in turns to pick a shoe and then approach the lady they think it belongs to. They should try it on in true “Cinderella”fashion. If it fits, we have a love match!
Photo Captions
(For Everyone)
Before your wedding, get together a collection of some old and funny photos of the happy couple. They can be anything from baby pics to high school yearbook photos. The idea is that throughout the meal you ask each table to caption the photos with something funny. After the meal ask the DJ to read out the funniest.
Counting For Flowers
(Single Ladies)
Instead of typically “tossing the bouquet”at the end of the ceremony why not play counting for flowers? All you need is a glass jar full of marbles, or something similar, ask the single ladies to each guess how many marbles they think are in the jar. The closest guess will win the bridal bouquet!
Wedding Garter Relay Race
(For the Men)
Split your men into two equal teams. The teams should take this game in turns and be timed. Sit the first member of the first team in a chair and line the rest of team up a few meters away… And they’re off! The next team member in line should run up to the chair with the brides garter in hand and place it on the first team members leg (whilst still sitting). When this is done he should take the seat and the garter wearer should return to the man at the front of the line, remove the garter, hand it to him and then move to the back of the line. This process should be repeated until the the original sitting guy is back in the chair. the winner is the team who finishes quickest.
