Wedding Table Games That Get Everyone Talking

Table games are perfect for keeping guests entertained during the meal. They’re easy to set up, require minimal effort from your side, and work for all ages. Here are some favourites:

Find the Guest Bingo

Turn mingling into a game with Find the Guest Bingo. Create bingo cards featuring fun prompts like “has been to more than 30 countries,” “owns a pet lizard,” or “met the bride in primary school.” Guests tick off boxes as they chat with others, and the first to complete a row wins a small prize.

Place Your Bets

Got a competitive crowd? Let guests predict key moments from the day. Will the best man’s speech be longer than five minutes? How many times will someone cry during the vows? Will the couple’s first dance involve a surprise move?

Guests write their predictions on cards, and you can reveal the answers during the reception. It’s a fun way to keep everyone invested in the day’s events.

I Spy

A wedding-themed I Spy game encourages guests to spot specific moments throughout the day. Think “a groomsman adjusting his tie,” “someone tearing up during the speeches,” or “the bride laughing at the groom’s jokes.” It’s a subtle, low-key game that keeps people engaged without being too obvious.

Take a Guess at the Guest

Test how well your guests know each other with this light-hearted guessing game. Provide a list of fun facts, like “who’s travelled to the most countries” or “who has the most unusual hidden talent”and let guests match them to the right person.

Bride & Groom Trivia

How well do your guests really know you as a couple? Create a trivia game featuring questions about your relationship, your first date, favourite holiday destination or the story of how you met. Guests can compete individually or in teams, and the winners can take home a small prize.

Photo Scavenger Hunt

A photo scavenger hunt is perfect for the Instagram generation. Give guests a list of fun photo challenges, like “snap a selfie with the bride,” “capture the best dance move” or “find someone wearing the same colour tie.” At the end of the night, guests can share their photos and you’ll have a treasure trove of candid memories.

How to Bring Your Table Games to Life

Printing your games on individual cards is a great way to decorate each place setting while giving guests a fun activity. Plus, they double as a sweet keepsake for you and your partner to look back on!

• Postcards: Postcards are perfect for laying on plates or tucking into napkins.

Alternatively, turn your games into a standing sign to get everyone talking. They’re a fantastic conversation starter that helps guests mingle.

• Wedding Strut Cards: These self-standing cards make a great decorative feature for your tables.
• Wedding Table Talkers: Display a few games per table so everyone can see and join in

Go Bigger with a Wedding Games Board

If you want your wedding games to be a focal point, consider creating a large Wedding Sign display board. A well-designed wedding games board draws attention, encourages participation, and adds a stylish element to your venue décor. 

Let your guests sip and solve! From popular puzzles to sweepstakes, there are plenty of games you can choose from to add that extra special touch… 

Wedding Crossword 

A custom wedding crossword is a charming way to entertain guests. Fill it with clues about your relationship, your families and fun facts about the day. It’s engaging, thoughtful and something guests can work on together.

Wedding Wordsearch 

A wedding wordsearch is another crowd-pleaser. Hide words related to your love story, wedding theme or inside jokes and let guests hunt for them. It’s simple, fun and works for all ages. 

First Dance Sweepstake 

Add a touch of mystery to your first dance with a sweepstake board. Guests guess which song you’ll dance to and the winner gets a prize. It’s a fun way to build anticipation for one of the night’s most memorable moments.

How to Bring Your Games Board to Life

Print your crossword, wordsearch or sweepstake board on a Wedding Sign and display it on an easel in a high-traffic area. This way, guests can’t miss it and can fill in their answers throughout the day.

If you’re wondering how to create your own wedding crossword or sweepstake, don’t worry! You can find easily editable templates on Etsy or Canva, or there are even websites out there designed to help you generate your own.

Classic Lawn Games Guests Won’t be Able to Miss

If your venue has outdoor space, lawn games are a must. They’re perfect for cocktail hour, post-ceremony mingling or even during the reception. Plus, they’re a great way to keep younger guests entertained.

Giant Games

Supersized versions of classic games like Jenga, Connect Four, and Limbo are always a hit. They’re visually striking, easy to play, and suitable for all ages.

Lawn Favourites

Traditional lawn games like Croquet, Mini Golf, Hula Hoops and Lawn Bowling bring a nostalgic, quintessentially British vibe to your wedding. They’re easy to set up and require no instruction, guests can just jump in and play.

Other Classics

Games like Coconut Shy, Cornhole (Bean Bag Toss), and even a game of badminton can add a fun, festival-like atmosphere to your wedding. They’re engaging, competitive and perfect for outdoor celebrations.
