Fun Wedding Reception Games to Get the Party Started
A bride participates in the shoe game, a fun new way to incorporate guests and showcase the couple
We all know the classic wedding reception traditions – the first dance, the toasts, and sometimes, the bouquet and garter toss. But what about adding some extra fun and laughter to your big day? Let’s talk about some fun wedding reception games that will get your guests mingling, laughing, and creating unforgettable memories.
Why Games?
Wedding receptions are about celebrating love and unity, and games are a fantastic way to break the ice and bring everyone together. They can:
Create Laughter and Entertainment: Games add a lighthearted and fun element to your reception.
Encourage Guest Interaction: They get people talking and mingling, especially those who might not know each other well.
Personalize Your Celebration: Games can reflect your personalities and interests as a couple.
Fill In Downtime: They can keep the energy high during transitional periods.
Create Memorable Moments: Guests will remember the laughter and fun for years to come.
The Shoe Game: A Classic with a Twist
One of our favorite wedding reception games is the shoe game! It's a hilarious and insightful way for guests to learn more about the newlyweds. Here's how it works:
The bride and groom sit back-to-back in chairs, each holding one of their own shoes and one of their partner's shoes.
We ask a series of fun and lighthearted questions about the couple, such as:
"Who is the better cook?"
"Who is more likely to forget an anniversary?"
"Who is the funniest?"
"Who said 'I love you' first?"
"Who is the messiest?"
The bride and groom raise the shoe of the person they think best fits the answer.
The answers are usually very funny, and the guests love to see the couples reactions.
Other Fun Game Ideas:
Beyond the shoe game, here are some other fun wedding reception game ideas:
DJ Bingo or DJ Trivia: We partner with DJ Bingo and DJ Trivia to create an extra layer of fun for all ages!
Couple's Trivia: Test your guests' knowledge of the bride and groom with a trivia game.

Photo Scavenger Hunt: Provide guests with a list of photos to capture throughout the night.
