The Shoe Game

The bride and groom stand back to back, each holding one of their own shoes and one of the other's shoes. The emcee asks questions such as, "Who snores the loudest?" and the bride and groom hold up the shoe of the person they feel snores the loudest. This game always gets laughs.
The Newlywed Game

Similar to the shoe game, but the couple has been asked questions before the wedding day and their answers have been written down on cardboard. The emcee hosts the game and asks the couple the questions.

Musical Chairs

Yes, musical chairs is fun to play at weddings--and it's even more fun when adults are involved. Give away a gift certificate as a prize or give away the head table centerpiece to the winner.
Table Centerpieces
-
There are many versions of games involving table centerpieces. Have one guest at each table pull out a dollar, and the guests at the table pass around the dollar while there is music playing. When the music stops, whoever is holding the dollar wins the centerpiece. For a touch of class, collect the money and let the flower girl and ring bearer split it.
Scavenger Hunt
-
The emcee will ask questions of the guests such as "Who has a red lipstick they can give me?" Whoever gives him red lipstick first wins a small prize. Other good questions include, "Who has a key to the groom's apartment?" and "Who has a picture of the bride in their wallet?"
Is He My Husband?
-
The bride is blindfolded and placed in front of several men seated in chairs. She must choose which one is her husband by only touching their faces.
