Once in a life time event should be planned and recorded in such a way and that it leaves the lasting effects on the guests attending that event. Wedding is one of it. The custom of carrying a bouquet by the bride is a very special one. It may seem to be a simple thing but in reality it is surrounded by many other related ceremonies.
There can be variation in this event. Traditionally bride, her mother and groom’s mother carry the bouquet. You can also give a bouquet to both the fathers too. Guests would love that. A game can be organized using this theme. Dad’s can win the flowers if he names the guests or he can be given the flower with the poem which he has to recite during the ceremony.
Bouquets also can be made in different patterns. One of them can be in a group of bouquets tied together and she can then separate it and share it with various people specially Mother and Father of the groom.
A game of naming the flowers can be arranged to play before the dance. Bridal bouquet can be displayed and the guests have to tell the names of the flowers in it. Some would be very obvious like tulips and roses but some unusual ones would be difficult to guess.
There can be fun in throwing the bouquet too. Some brides keep a flower from her wedding bouquet as a remembrance before tossing it away. Some also arrange to a separate bouquet to toss it and keep the original one for them.
If the guests include many unmarried women, you may try to bundle small bouquets tied lightly so that while tossing it gets untied and several women can catch it. This will create lots of excitement.
Are you planning a wedding reception of your best friend? Normally wedding reception guests are invited to give blessings to newly wedded couple. Guests watch them dance and then wedding cake is shared, this is the routine of all the wedding receptions. To add little fun and zing to the event, some games can be planned that can be played with all the guests too.
Fun games played by all the guests will involve them with each other and will have lots of fun. This will make this event a memorable one. There are many types of fun games, select the one that can be enjoyed by young and old together.
Select a MC i.e., a Master of Ceremonies also known as a programme compere or an MJ for “microphone jockey”, for hosting this event. MC is responsible for introducing the speakers, giving information on the rules and regulations of the games. This keeps the mood of the party jovial.
MC can start the game of ‘Simon Says’; he can keep the list of things that he would ask for. He can ask for just anything, even a silly thing for eg. He can ask for men with a red purse, any men can just locate a woman with the red purse, pick that up and run on the stage, the first one to reach wins the prize. Everyone just waits for MC’s command and run for it. All this creates a fun atmosphere in the wedding reception party.
MC can also start a quiz game, this can be made a fun game by asking questions on the newly wedded couples, the teams will answer and couples will confirm as right or wrong. You can also arrange for the game of musical chairs, with the chairs are absent, instead mans knee are to be used by the woman. While sitting if women fall down or a men fall down then they are out. It becomes very funny to see and play this game.
Planning such types of fun games during wedding reception will make guest come together, instead of being in groups they will mix with the people and get lots of information about newly wedded bride and groom.
Such types of games will make all the guests active in taking part in the event, hence, they will be very comfortable and enjoy the party.
