1. Cornhole: Straight from the states, this wedding game is little known on our side of the Atlantic. But it is sure to awaken your guest's curiosity and to win you'll need to get 21 points.
It couldn't be more simple to win (in theory), all you need to do is throw bean bags at a plank of wood. The bean bags that stay on the plank earn the team 1 point but if the bean bags fall off 3 points are deducted. You'll need concentration, coordination, and above all the will to have a good time! What's more? You can even personalise Cornhole to your own taste and coordinate it to your wedding theme.
2. XXL Jenga: Here's another outdoor wedding idea that's very popular in the US, enormous Jenga! The rules are simple, players take turns and will need to take a piece of wood out of the tower without making it fall over. Then they need to place it on the top and so forth without it tipping over. Of course, the longer the game goes on the higher and more wobbly the tower becomes. The team that makes the tower fall over loses. You could even make the giant Jenga yourself and personalise it to your own tastes and add questions on the blocks about the wedding couple.
3. Musical chairs with a twist: How do you jazz up a classic game of musical chairs? By adding balloons of course! Replace the chairs with helium filled balloons fixed down with string and little weights on the floor. Make sure that you've got less balloons than players. Guests all have to start dancing and when the music stops they have to grab one of the balloons. An easy, child friendly game that's sure to liven up the dance floor! What's more? Offer the balloons to the children at the end of the evening.
4. Balloons and darts: Glue photos of the couple to a large board or write a quote or several lines of a poem, then hide this behind some balloons. The guests have to guess what is behind the balloons before having the help of darts to figure it out. It's a simple game to do that'll certainly give your evening some excitement.
5. Guess the question: Here's a very fun marriage game that'll surely organise your guests. How do you play? The couple sits with their back to the guests and one of the guests raises a sign with a question written on it. The people who can relate to the question have to stand up, then the couple turns around and has to guess what the people stood up have in common. The other guests can have fun giving the couple clues.
