No dancing.... so games!!

At my wedding i had a table specifically just for different board games and card games

I'm in Ohio, too, and our wedding is scheduled for July 11th. Our venue is going to add an additional second dance floor outside, which will give more space because the restriction is that some places may not be able to have dancing because of dance floor size. But, like you, we're hoping things aren't as strict as we get closer, especially as the weather gets hotter and more humid. I like your idea of getting games, so maybe we'll get a deck of cards for each table and people can play card games? I'm a little nervous because I just don't see how we can have a reception with no dancing? Obviously we can have our dance, but if people space out and only dance with their SO I don't see why not. I think we'll still do the tosses because that won't require EVERYONE to be up and those who are up whether it's the girls' turn or the guys' turn can just space out?

On behalf of myself and all other actors out there... not only do I love this idea, but I hope so many people do this!

There's also so many stand by games - from ye old bingo and simon says to - heavily depending on your crowd - cards against humanity (they need to be VERY chill).

All of the ideas above are great! You can also make the games some kind of tournament depending on your crowd. For example, our families love to play cards, so we could do something of a card tournament for entertainment.

I think you would be able to dance by august. But if not games are good scavenger hunt, shoe game, celebrating love game- You ask all married couples to stand at their tables hoping yo have a few. And have them eliminated by the years 1-3,5,10 etc. and the last couple standing gets like flowers, applauds and ask them for wedding advice.

I think you and your FH can still do a first dance. It'll just be the two of you, and you'll be several feet from your "audience." But as for not letting guests dance, especially that many... I dunno. I'm surprised they would allow 300 people at an indoor event at all.
