When the weather is lovely and there are a few minutes between the important moments of the wedding reception, it only makes sense to have some activities to occupy your guests during their downtime. These activities allow everyone to mingle, laugh, and get to know each other better. If your wedding celebration is going to be outside, consider these activities for helping people enjoy themselves during your important occasion!
1. Giant Versions of Board Games
Something about a giant Jenga, tic-tac-toe, or chess board makes a wedding reception feel a little tiny bit like Wonderland. Children who are at the wedding will find something to play with even if they don?t follow the traditional rules of the game, and adults who haven?t met before get a chance to bond with each other over something fun and universal. This gets people moving after they sit during a ceremony, which can feel really nice before moving on to dinner. 2. Traditional Lawn Games

Classic games like a bean bag toss or horseshoes make for an entertaining addition to an outdoor summer wedding reception. Consider buying or renting games, or asking friends and family if they have some of these games you can borrow. It doesn?t have to be elaborate, but there are also options to DIY versions specific to your wedding, using your wedding colors or themes as part of the decoration of the reception.
