Spring & Alex’s colorful lawn games and giant pillows wedding

One look at the pink crinoline, the multicolored roses, and “cakeluck” display, and you’ll be begging for more. Picture a beautiful daytime wedding in the park complete with lawn games, giant pillows to lounge on, and a ceremony that started with “Can I get a ‘hell yeah’?”

Amy & Jess’ glittery rustic barn wedding

Take one adorably crazy cat man with awesome hair, one Rubik’s cube-teaching bride, lots of helpful yoga-performing and cupcake tier-fixing friends and family, and a weekend of activities, and you’ll get a wedding I want to have attended. Sadly, I didn’t, but we can relive the events with wistful eyes and share in the joy that is a wedding with puzzle place cards and crossword programs.

15 wedding reception games and activities for good times!

“We hosted a game night reception so it could be more interactive for everyone. We bought most of the prizes on sale, nearing $200, but still saved a lot by not hiring a DJ or band, which comes with an added cost of a dance floor and lights.”

That quote from Jami and Jamie’s backyard game night wedding inspired me to put together a roundup of great games that you can play at your wedding. Ready, set, GO!

A Rube Goldberg machine and epic gamefest wedding

This wedding wasn’t about dancing or put-on formality. Instead, it was about good old fashioned FUN and a whole lot of games. One of the main events was having all the guests help build a Rube Goldberg machine! Also included: a pop quiz about the couple, homemade cookies and milk, a ceremony officiated by “The Rev for Whatev,” jump ropes, giant dominoes, and tons of toys.
