Fun Wedding Games That'll Keep Guests Laughing

Play Ball

Who said receptions couldn't have a friendly game of toss? Let loose and play a game of catch with guests of every age.

Cigar Station

A custom cigar station will provide a one-of-a-kind experience for guests and give them a conversation-starting wedding favor.

Corn Hole

For an outdoor wedding, we can't think of a more appropriate source of entertainment than yard games. Everyone's all-time favorite? Corn hole, of course.

Well-Wishes

Venture out beyond ordinary paper for your loved ones to write their well-wishes for your marriage. Instead, opt for a surfboard or another creative surface suited for your big-day décor.

• Do the Bride and Groom Have to Give a Speech at Their Wedding Reception?

Personalized Music

Music makes for the best reception experience. Bring out your favorite vinyl records for fun décor, and guests can choose the tunes. This'll keep the party going all night long.

Arcade Games

For the game-loving couple, feature some of your go-to arcade games that adults and kids alike are sure to love.

Personal Scribe

Try out an on-the-spot poet at your event. With just one thought that came to guests' minds, this vendor created a personal poem on a typewriter for them to take home.

• Do Couples Still Give Out Wedding Favors?

Custom Sketches

Custom drawings of the newlyweds and guests will give everyone a fun memento from their time at the wedding.

Bike Ride

A quick outfit change beforehand will make this activity a breeze. After your nuptials, go for a spin on bicycles to cap off a whimsical wedding.

Giant Jenga

Kids (and adults!) love this strategic game in regular size, so they'll definitely get a kick out of the super-sized version.

Ferris Wheel

Planning a carnival-inspired fête? Go big or go home with a small-scale Ferris wheel. It'll delight your guests and make for the ultimate couple photo.

Tic-Tac-Toe

Make like this bride and groom, and set up wooden tic-tac-toe sets on tables. Let little guests take them home as keepsakes—their parents will thank you.

Ring Toss

If you're getting hitched outside during the day, set your attendees up with a traditional ring toss game. It'll entertain everyone during cocktail hour.

Wedding Wheel

Ask your guests to keep this wedding wheel—sectioned with all types of sweet and funny commands like "Show us your best dance moves!" and "Bride and Groom kiss!"—spinning all night long.

How Well Do You Know Each Other?

The quickest way to get guests laughing? A game that tests how well the bride and groom know each other's quirks. All this requires is a list of prepped questions and signs with both your names. Simply raise the name that best fits the question—just get ready to agree to disagree on who does the dishes more.

Croquet

Throwing an outdoor garden party? Your fête won't be complete without the classic game of croquet. Be sure to set up a helpful sign with rules, so youngsters new to the sport can join in on the fun.

Word Search

While your attendees wait for your walk down the aisle, set them up with a simply activity to pass the time. A word search, complete with a set of crayons, is just as entertaining for adults as it is for kids, and will definitely keep little ones in their seats.

Dart Paint

If you're thinking about setting up an interactive craft, remember that most people won't want to ruin their wedding finery. A dart paint board is a fool-proof solution. Simply ask guests to throw darts at paint-filled balloons attached to a blank canvas (à la that Princess Diaries scene!)—from a safe, splatter-proof distance, of course.

• Bridal Shower Games That Are Actually Fun to Play

Trivia

Each reception table will host a mix of different people—guests with different careers, hobbies, and interests. This inherently makes each table a pretty strong trivia team. Let guests that aren't dance-inclined engage in a battle of the brains with each other or neighboring tables.

Strongman Game

For a hilarious spectacle, break up your wedding party into bridesmaids versus groomsmen to see who can hit the high striker harder. Our bet is on your 'maids, hands down.

Props

Speaking of photo booths, upgrade the comedy with a box of cute and quirky props. Just be sure to get a snap of all your groomsmen wearing boas.

The Shoe Game

Similar to "How Well Do You Know Each Other?" this game requires both the bride and groom's shoes to answer silly questions.

Ladder Toss

For this competitive lawn game, pair up guests who haven't met yet to get everyone mingling.

Sack Races

Friends large and small enjoyed racing each other in sacks customized by the bride's friend.
