Games at Reception?

Heather, on November 25, 2021 at 7:56 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 7
Has anyone put out a few board or card games at the reception to keep guests entertained? If so, what was your experience? Did people play them?

    We had cornhole boards out that people used during cocktail hour but no games! People seemed to be busy enough chatting with friends/family they hadn’t seen in forever, eating, or dancing! Any extra games would have seemed like an unnecessary cost imo!

    I had a whole table of it and honestly i did see some play with it but generally i don't think many did

    the coloring books for kids though were all gone haha. i think i did this table because it was so inexpensive - literally you can go to dollar tree and get some inexpensive card and board games there. and i kept them after to play for my game nights anyway.

    I wasn’t thinking about coloring books, but putting up a “make a card for the bride and groom” station for the kids, or adults that are feeling crafty. Good to know they could be a hit.

    I agree that I don't really think they'd get used much - I know as a guest I usually just enjoy chatting with other people I maybe don't see too often, that there wouldn't really be much if any time to play any games.

    Guests don't need extras like this to be entertained. They will be eating, drinking, dancing, and socializing.

    That’s such a good idea that you can have people write and draw you a note that they can turn in like into the card box. I think great activity for at the tables

    I guess I forget other people do enjoy socializing.
