Spring is quickly emerging! With nice weather and blooming flowers, this season is ideal for hosting an outdoor wedding ceremony or reception. One perk of having a spring wedding is the opportunity to incorporate fun outdoor games and activities. Games are a great source of entertainment for you and your guests, and there are so many traditional and non-traditional options to choose from.
Here are some ideas to fuel healthy competition at your wedding reception, as told by our Omaha weddings experts.
Giant Jenga
This giant take on the well-known classic is a great way to get all of your guests involved. You can even make things interesting by writing prompts or questions each piece for players to answer. This will give your guests an opportunity to get to know each other, as well. In addition to Jenga, you can pretty much turn any game into a yard game. Some other giant favorites include tic-tac-toe, checkers, dice, and connect four.
Ring Toss
Symbolize the exchanging of rings with this traditional yard game. All you need are glass bottles and large rings to pull off this classic party activity. Ring toss is a fun and competitive way to play on your special day! Ladder toss is a similar game that’s easy to find in stores or DIY.
Cornhole
Bring the tailgate to your wedding reception with this fun outdoor game. Do it yourself and personalize your board and beanbags with the design elements of your wedding. Your guests will love it. Not to mention, you’ll get to use it for years to come as a reminder of your fun-packed wedding day!
The Shoe Game
If you’re not familiar, the Shoe Game is a wedding tradition in which the bride and groom sit back to back with one of their own shoes and one of their partner’s in hand. Someone will ask questions related to the bride and groom and they then raise the shoe corresponding with their answer. Some questions our Omaha weddings experts recommend include:
- Who is messier?
- Who takes longer to get ready in the morning?
- Who said ‘I love you’ first?
- Who is the better dancer?
- Who is the better cook?
- Who is more romantic?
- Who’s more likely to fall asleep during a movie?
- Who gives the best gifts?
Mini-Golf
This one is a crowd pleaser. An old fashioned game of mini-golf is perfect on a beautiful spring day or evening. It might take some extra effort to orchestrate but it will be well worth it to see the smile on your guests’ faces when they play!
