7 Good Reasons to Play Games at Your Wedding Reception

Playing bridal showers games, birthday party games or games at other gatherings, help people relax and feel at ease. Of course not every game will be appropriate but there are games that are timeless and suitable for guests of all ages that will fit perfectly into your wedding reception activities.
Wedding reception activities are fun leisurely activities that make the wedding more enjoyable and memorable for everyone. Bring together the young and the old, strangers and friends by using party games at your wedding reception. Your guests will have more fun and the entire reception will be more relaxed and friendly with games. There will be guests that may be acquainted but not properly introduced, family members that have not seen each other for a long period of time, new babies and friends with their escorts. Help everyone meet and stimulate conversations by planning to use games at your wedding reception.
You will want to make a list of friends and family that are willing to help with your bridal ideas. You could use the DJ or master of ceremonies to announce and manage the reception activities, but you will probably have more volunteers for the game chairman than any other need. Provide your guests with one of the most memorable and unique wedding receptions they have attended by using games.
Have the games ready to start when wedding guests arrive. If you will have young children attending the reception, you could prepare a special area for them with paper table covers and plenty of crayons. Planning and preparing for the children will allow the parents to socialize more comfortably and relieve stress for everyone. Start the games when your guests arrive at the reception to entertain them until the bride and groom are presented and the party begins.
A mix of active games and games that can be played at the table will allow all party goers to participate. Some active games can include musical chairs, pin the tail on the donkey (or veil on the bride) and a game known as “want it now”. For table activities you might lay out decks of cards or board games on the wedding tables, play musical dollar bills or 20 questions.
Use the centerpiece on your wedding reception tables as prizes so they don’t go to waste, people will appreciate this very special gift. The centerpieces on the bride and grooms wedding tables can be used as a gift for someone extra special who attends the wedding reception.
