DJ Wedding Games
A good wedding DJ won't just play music, she'll host fun games that get everyone out on the dance floor. Once shy wedding guests are coaxed into having fun, the reception is sure to pick up and turn into a lively affair. DJ games exist to suit all types of wedding receptions, from formal affairs to late night parties.

Cakewalk
-
A cakewalk is a traditional game where partygoers compete for dessert by showing off their most humorous "walks." (See Reference 1) Place the top tier of the wedding cake, or a delicious hunk of grooms cake, on a stool. On the DJ's cue, have guests walk around the stool with their most ridiculous antics. Have the DJ eliminate guests one by one until only the silliest contestant is left, to whom the bride awards his tasty winnings.
Musical Chairs
-
Musical chairs can be either a "kids only" activity that gives the children a chance to play, or it can be a "grown-up" game designed to make stiff adults run around like kids. Whatever form of musical chairs you choose to play, keep in mind that both kids and adults can quickly get rowdy. Pick chairs that are low to the ground and won't hurt to fall out of. Also keep a referee on hand to catch anyone that trips while running for a seat.

Shoe Game
-
Have the bride and groom sit in the middle of the reception hall and exchange one shoe with each other. The DJ will then fire questions at the bride and groom, and in answer to each question they raise either their new spouses' shoe or their own. For example, if the DJ asks, "Who never makes the bed?" and the bride thinks the groom never goes, she'll raise his shoe up. The crowd can then cheer and joke in response. (See Reference 2) To end on a romantic note, close the game by asking something like: "Who do you love more than anyone?" After the bride and groom choose each other, have them begin a couple's dance.
Anniversery Dance
-
Have the DJ ask all the couples to come out onto the dance floor. Once everyone is dancing, the DJ will ask everyone who to keep dancing who has had more than one anniversary, then two and on. Finally, only the longest married or partnered couple will be left dancing. The DJ can ask the room the give the couple a round of applause or to make a speech giving advice to the bride and groom.
