Inspiration: Wedding Fun & Games
May 26, 2011 admin

It’s time to get your game on! I’ve been seeing games popping up all over the wedding world, and couldn’t be more excited as I am a board-game aficionado myself.  Games are great for adding an extra, interactive level to your wedding.  Why not make your program into a treasure hunt, your menu into a crossword puzzle  or your place cards into a puzzle?  Or if you really want to bring out the competitive side of your guests, provide a slew of board games, strike up a game of cornhole or host a croquet match!  No matter what you do, you’re guaranteed to please guests of all ages, and have a little fun yourself too!

[…] From customized crossword puzzles to word searches and mad libs, trivia games about you and your sweetie are a great way to get guests talking and having a fun time together all throughout your dinner hour. Set aside some time later in the evening to announce the answers, and consider making it a contest by giving away small prizes, or even your centerpieces, to the guest at each table who gets the most answers right. Inviting guests who love the spotlight? Talk with your DJ about arranging competitions like guy vs. girl sing-alongs or dance-offs to help keep everyone entertained and on the dance floor. {See: Wedding fun and games on United With Love!} […]
