Fun wedding reception games and activities
You’ve just said “I do,” you’re covered in birdseed, and you still can’t get Pachelbel’s “Canon in D” out of your head. Now it’s time to let your hair down and have some fun at the reception. The games below are guaranteed to bring out the playful spirit in friends and family—of all ages. Adjust them to fit your wedding’s theme or style.

Photo booth
Frames, backdrop, props, a chair, a camera and a tripod are just a few things you can gather together to create some glamorous (or silly) wedding shots. We’ll equip you with a photo booth sign and show you how to make the tassel backdrop.
Wedding ring toss
It’s not hard to turn a generic ring toss game into a personalized game featuring giant editions of your own wedding rings. Step right up and get ready to ring in some fun.
Wedding knots
Get ready to assume the position for fun with this personalized take on the game Twister. You just need a few supplies to create this personalized version that’s ready for some foot (and hand and sometimes bottom) traffic. Appoint someone to roll the dice and direct the players on what to do. Last person standing, so to speak, wins.
I do tattoo
Let everyone celebrate your never-ending love in a temporary way with a tattoo station equipped with tattoos you’ve made yourself. Use our designs or create your own with your home computer and a DIY temporary tattoo kit.
