Some fun &
interesting games at your mehendi or your welcome lunch are a good way to set
the vibe for the rest of your celebration!! These games also double up as an
excellent opportunity to break the ice and make mingling around a whole lot
easier. Let the good old “Antaakshari” and “Dumb Charades” take a back seat
while these super fun alternatives get your guests soaking up some sun while
they have tonnes of fun!! If you have a wedding planner on board getting the
arrangements right will be a cakewalk. The team can get the required props
ready and set up at the venue for you.
Photo Scavenger Hunt –
Run Find & Click
Remember the times
you played “I Spy” as a kid? Well consider this an upgraded version of the
game. Your guests get divided into teams. Have at hand printed cards with the
team names, the guests stick their hand in a bag a pick a card which assigns
them their team. Each team gets a list of items they need to spot and click
using a Polaroid camera. The team that fulfills the list in the least amount of
time and makes their way to the assigned location or starting point, wins the
challenge!
Twister
This one is bound to
leave your guests with roaring laughter. The participants have to dance while the music
plays, and when it stops, everyone has to put their hands and feet on the colors called out, and thanks to the shortage of colored circles, people have
to bend and stretch in the funniest positions! An easy way to incorporate the
game into your wedding setup is to have the flex for your dance floor printed
accordingly or have a spare flex printed with the colored circles that can be
laid over the dance floor when it’s time for the game.
Limbo
A horizontal bar,
known as the limbo bar, is placed atop two vertical bars. All contestants must
attempt to go under the bar with their backs facing toward the floor. Whoever
knocks the bar off or falls is eliminated from the challenge. When passing
under the bar, players must bend backwards. The height of the limbo is dropped
with each song. This one is perfect to get the party started!
The Ultimate Kite
Flying Challenge
This one is super
easy to arrange for. All you need is some open space, a couple of kites and
some enthusiastic guests. If you have a
beach wedding planned with the beach in close proximity that is definitely an
advantage. The breezy beach and open space to run around and get those kites
soaring high, seems like a super fun idea!
Team Up For Some
Sports
Nothing brings people
together like shared love for a sport. Right from cricket, football or
volleyball. Well again, if you have a beach at hand let that be your court. For
a sport enthusiast, the game can be adapted to suit any surrounding. In a beach
version of the game your guests get a taste of the sun, sand and the sea.
Split the teams as
Team Bride and Groom and you've got yourselves a competition that's going to be
so much fun! And yes, don't forget customized tees and caps!
Ring Your Bottle
This one is classic,
It involves throwing a ring and aiming it to go around the bottle. Super easy
to DIY, and you can get as creative with the bottles as you want! You can even
line some imported liquor bottles and let the winner keep them!
Balloon Pop Challenge
Divide your guests
into teams. The team lines up at one end. The other end has a basket filled
with balloons equal to the number of team members and a sturdy chair. Each member
of the team takes turns to run across to the chair, grabs a balloon and pops it
by sitting on it. The next member in line can run only when the prior member
has returned to the starting point. The team that pops all the balloons first
wins.
Giant Snakes And Ladders
Players themselves
act as the counters in this human edition of the classic game and move up the
ladders and down the snakes. Get quirky with rules to add your own punch of
fun. Your event planner can source/arrange this for you.
