Now, if your reception and ceremony are both to be held outdoors and guests milling outdoors, think about the games or activities that occur outdoors and still keep their level of formality or lack of formality. For example, if you are holding the reception at a park, perhaps the guests could enjoy a “walk in the lane down memory; before the reception, someone can use potted plants or arbors to create a small private lane, through which guests can walk. Along the path, guests will find the pictures of the bride and groom at various stages in their lives. There should be a place for guests to record their thoughts and memories along the way too.

If your wedding and reception are fairly casual, you can always tell guests ahead of time to prepare for a ball game or some other outdoor activity fun. Women can bring a pair of sneakers. Just imagine the pictures you ‘fun; all out of a football game or baseball leads played by women in dresses and sneakers and men in games and sneakers!

You can provide a challenge activity involving barefoot dancing in the grass or a Frisbee toss in the backyard. Is there a pool in the yard where conducted at the reception? Why not has a swimming activity for after making the entire reception?

If you are having your wedding reception out of doors, that opens the door for many activities that would be hard to remove the inside. You can plan games and activities based on the outdoor theme and carry that theme indoors if part of the reception is in as well.

Depending on where carried out at the reception, you can plan many activities based on the setting. If the park or on a farm, there are a myriad of activities you can plan.

Let’s start with some basics based on popular wedding locations. A fun game for a winery wedding is a blindfolded game of wine tasting. If the bride and groom are wine drinkers, this could not play the bride and groom should be a part of, but instead guests and wedding party members. Blindfold perhaps a half dozen volunteers and make her do a blind taste test (provide something to clean the palate between sips). The volunteers should guess which wine is the pinot black, which is the Cabernet, and so on. A bottle of wine is the obvious prize for the winner of this game.

Say you’re having a reception at a country club in a golf course. It ‘ “s possible your theme will include golf elements, so why not include golf in some activities or games for the reception? You could certainly run the golf course into a “whole in one” competition, or have a driving competition to see what host has the best moves. As a simple, “Who gets the game” of the centerpiece, you could have people guess how many golf balls there are in the floral centerpiece (which could decorate a plain large glass vase filled with flowers). Similarly, there could be a large vase or other clear container filled with golf balls at the reception somewhere and guests could guess how many golf balls are in the vase.

A silly game could be done in the ballroom asking everyone to include their best golf swing into their dancing for a particular song.
