The Shoe Game The bride and groom sit back-to-back, each holding one of their own shoes and one of their partner's shoes. A host asks questions like "Who said 'I love you' first?" or "Who's the better cook?" The couple raises the shoe of the person whose answer it applies to, often revealing funny disagreements and creating memorable moments for guests.

Wedding Bingo Guests receive bingo cards with wedding-related events or items instead of numbers (like "bride tears up," "someone spills a drink," "awkward dancing"). As these moments happen throughout the reception, guests mark their cards. The first to complete a row wins a prize.

Anniversary Dance (Generations Dance). All married couples start on the dance floor. The DJ or host gradually eliminates couples by years married, starting with newlyweds and working up ("Anyone married less than 1 year, please leave the floor"). The last couple standing, typically married the longest, shares advice with the newlyweds.

Giant Jenga: An oversized version of the classic stacking game. Players take turns removing wooden blocks from the tower and placing them on top without toppling it. Blocks can be customised with questions, dares, or messages for added fun.

Cornhole A popular lawn game with two raised platforms featuring holes. Players toss bean bags trying to land them in the holes or on the boards. Teams compete by taking turns, scoring points for bags that land on the board or go through the hole.

Lawn Bowling (Bocce) Players roll balls trying to get closest to a smaller target ball called the pallino or jack. Teams alternate rolling their colored balls, and the team with balls closest to the target after all balls are thrown scores points.

Ring Toss Players toss rings at pegs, bottles, or hooks from a designated distance. Points are awarded based on which pegs the rings land on. Can be themed to match wedding colours or decorations.

Scavenger Hunt Guests receive lists of items to find or tasks to complete during the reception (like "find someone wearing blue," "get a photo with the bride," or "bring back a napkin with lipstick"). The first individual or team to complete their list wins.

Photo Booth Challenge: Guests are given themed prompts or challenges to recreate in the photo booth (e.g., specific poses, emotions, or scenarios). The bride and groom later judge the best photos, or guests vote for their favourites.

Wedding Mad Libs Guests fill in the blanks of wedding-themed stories without seeing the full context, providing nouns, verbs, and adjectives. When read aloud, the results create hilarious, nonsensical stories about the couple.

Survivor: A combination game where guests compete in challenges throughout the reception (trivia questions, dance-offs, scavenger hunt tasks). Participants are eliminated until one "survivor" remains and wins a prize.

He Said, She Said. The host reads quotes or statements made by the bride or groom during pre-wedding interviews. Guests guess who said what by holding up signs or moving to different sides of the room.

Newlywed Game Based on the classic TV show, the couple is asked questions about their relationship and must match answers. Can be played with the couple alone or with other couples at the wedding, competing to show who knows their partner best.

Pictionary Teams compete by having one person draw wedding-related words or phrases while teammates guess. Can use traditional paper and easels or large whiteboards. The first team to guess correctly wins that round.

Bouquet Toss The bride tosses her bouquet (or a special toss bouquet) backwards to a group of unmarried women. Tradition says whoever catches it will be the next to marry, making it a fun and anticipated moment.

Garter Toss The groom removes the garter from the bride's leg (often playfully and to music) and tosses it backwards to unmarried men. The catcher is traditionally supposed to be the next to marry, usually paired with the bouquet catcher for a photo.

Identify the Knee/Elbow. The groom or bride is blindfolded and must identify their spouse by touching only their knee or elbow among a lineup of guests' knees or elbows. Creates hilarious moments as they struggle to identify their partner with this limited feature.

Reception Trivia Guests answer trivia questions about the couple (how they met, first date location, proposal details, favourite things). Can be played individually or in teams, testing who knows the couple best.

Giant Dominoes: Oversized dominoes for outdoor or indoor play. Players match numbers on domino ends to create chains. It can be played traditionally or stacked for building challenges, offering entertainment for all ages.
