Indoor Wedding Games for Adults

Indoor weddings provide an opportunity to keep your guests entertained, regardless of the weather. Here are three game ideas suitable for adults:

Active Game: Wedding Shoe Game

This game involves the couple sitting back-to-back, each holding one of their shoes and one of their partner’s shoes. The host asks a series of questions about their relationship, and the couple raises the appropriate shoe to answer, generating laughter and surprises.

Classy Game: Trivia Contest

Set up a trivia game related to the couple’s love story or their favorite things. Guests can form teams and compete to answer questions, testing their knowledge while also learning interesting facts about the couple.

Table Game: Wedding Mad Libs

Place Mad Libs cards on each table, allowing guests to fill in the blanks with silly or creative words to create funny stories. The completed Mad Libs can be read aloud during dinner or shared as a keepsake for the couple.

Outdoor Reception Wedding Games for Adults

Outdoor weddings provide a beautiful backdrop for games that take advantage of the open space. Here are three game ideas suitable for outdoor settings:

Active Game: Giant Jenga

The outdoors offers a lot of options for fun bridal shower games to keep guests laughing. Set up a life-sized Jenga game using large wooden blocks. Guests take turns removing blocks from the tower and placing them on top, testing their dexterity and strategy while creating suspenseful moments.

Classy Game: Croquet

Arrange a classic croquet set on the lawn, allowing guests to enjoy a leisurely yet elegant game. Provide instructions for those who are unfamiliar with the rules, and let the friendly competition unfold.

Table Game: “Ring Toss

Set up a ring toss game on a stable surface. Guests can take turns tossing rings to land them around a target, such as wine bottles or wooden posts. It’s a simple yet enjoyable game that adds a touch of nostalgia.

Wedding Games for Kids

Some bridal shower games should be specifically arranged to keep the kids entertained. Many children are okay to dance the night away, but most of them will need a space to sit down and chill. Keeping the younger guests entertained is equally important. Here are three game ideas suitable for kids:

Scavenger Hunt

Create a kid-friendly scavenger hunt around the wedding venue, where children can search for hidden objects or complete tasks. Provide them with a checklist and small prizes for their accomplishments.

Pin the Bouquet

Adapt the classic game of “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” by creating a large poster of a bride and replacing the tail with a detachable bouquet. Blindfolded children take turns attempting to place the bouquet in the bride’s hands.

Bubble Station

Set up a bubble station with various bubble wands, solution, and trays. Kids can have a blast blowing bubbles and chasing them around, creating a whimsical and playful atmosphere.

Many photo booths are going high-tech with the ability to instantly upload to your favorite social media or the ability to add filters and editing options.
