Wedding Reception Games to Entertain the Kids

Keeping wedding reception games at the event is a fantastic way to keep everyone busy, entertained and get people up from their seats so that they interact with other people and enjoy the occasion.

Weddings are livelier when people mingle with each other and not sit at one corner as mere observers.

There are couples who are creative enough; some like a vibrant and a colorful atmosphere at the function, so they think of some fun wedding reception games to bring everyone together.

DJ games for wedding receptions too are quite popular. A DJ plays a key role in organizing the wedding reception events. From gathering all the guests present for the cake cutting to introduction of the groom and the bride as the newly wedded couple.

There are so many games you can ask the DJ to organize for you for a memorable wedding reception fun, from the ‘Shoe Game’ and the famous ‘Dollar Dance’ to ‘Groom and the Bride Trivia’ to the fun ‘Musical Chairs’.

All these games will ensure than the kids and guests have fun all evening instead of just being stuck on chairs and watching the whole ceremony.

A few more interesting reception games that everyone can enjoy are ‘table centerpieces’, ‘scavenger hunt’, and ‘the newly-wed game’.

Like the ‘newly-wed game’ is almost similar to the famous ‘shoe game’ but the newly wedded couple here would have already been asked a couple of questions each, a day prior to the wedding and the answers then are written on a piece of paper.

The DJ is the host and asks questions to the couple about each other. With the ‘table centerpieces game’, there are many variants of this game which involves table centerpieces.

Here, you would need one person at each of the tables to take out a dollar and all others then pass the dollar bill around that table while the music is playing. When the music stops, the person with the dollar in his/her hands wins the table centerpiece. All of these games are active wedding reception games.

The game ‘scavenger hunt’ will have the emcee ask various questions to the guests like ‘who is wearing a brown shoe?’ and whosoever is the first one to raise hands, wearing a brown shoe will win a little prize. A few more questions which can be asked are, ‘Who has the groom’s apartment’s key?’ and ‘who has the bride’s picture in their wallet?’

The reception games are a great way always to get everyone, mingling, laughing and having a gala time. Ask the DJ for his suggestions and you can give in your ideas too.
