Fun things to do at reception

If you have a bunch of people who don't dance you can set up a board game and card game corner. If you have outside room you can have pentanque, cornhole, croquet, etc. I hate giant jenga because the noise when it falls startles and annoys everyone.

Don't do games! This is a wedding not a 1 year old birthday party.

Another vote for no games

No games. Let people eat, mingle, drink, and dance.

Drinking.

Socializing. with people. Just talking.

Dancing. Singing.

It's just a dinner party- you don't need to have a crazy "entertain your guests" situation.

Sitting and talking and drinking is socially acceptable and something that's been happening for literally hundreds of thousands of years. If it ain't broke- don't fix it.

Games always ruin the flow of the reception. At one wedding, the drinks and dancing were flowing and then suddenly, we all had to go back to our table so the bride and groom could play a few games. After that, everyone pretty much stayed at their table talking. No one was really danced again.

Dance and drink. That's pretty fun!

Meh, I have been to afternoon "tea party" type weddings that were outside, no dance floor, and plenty of people enjoyed pentanque and card games. Everybody still mingled and talked to each other. I wouldn't do it at an evening reception or one where you want people to dance obviously. And I think a lot of people have social anxiety issues and providing alternatives to small talk can be nice for them. Not a fan of enforced "everyone has to play" games that disrupt the socializing.

My finance and I are setting up a board game table for guests to play. Ones that don't take an hour to play, or require a lot of people. Just something short to give them something to do if they want to sit down.

Monopoly.

If outside then yard games (corn hole, ladder ball, jenga etc.). Photo booth. In addition to good food, music and drinks of course.

S'mores station/fire pit? ice cream sundae station? OK I guess that one doesn't take much time haha.

Ugh, NO to games!!!!!

It's a wedding, not a family game night or a birthday party.

Alcohol and food and some music should be enough. If you want more, do a Photo Booth

I hired a cartoonist! I went to a wedding last year and I got a drawing done with my fiancé and it was super cute! So I decided to hire one for my wedding

Our venue has a small package that we could add on that has lawn games to rent for guests to play on their lawn, you could check into something like that if you're looking for something other than free booze and music

I think it's a know your crowd thing. Our friends and family don't dance and it's an afternoon Sunday wedding so we are having outdoor games and a game table. If we just had a dj everyone would probably sit there staring at each other bored out of their minds.
