Games and entertainment for very small wedding

    Hi all,

    I'm getting married soon with a very small number of guests. We won't have music due to restrictions and I'm looking for things to have as back up just in case. We will have a playlist and speakers but I'm a little nervous! Most guests know each other but a few haven't met. Does anyone have any suggestions for any games or activities that we could have up our sleeve just in case? I was thinking maybe 30 Seconds or other types of board games that we could all play together (there'll be 3 generations in attendance and want things to be accessible for everyone). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    I’m in the same boat! Thinking of a caricaturist for the time myself and groom are getting pics taken!

    I’m sure people would be happy to sit in the bar (if there is a bar), and have a chat and a few drinks. I wouldn’t overthink it. Organised fun isn’t that much fun a lot of the time

    Google "parlour games" as it might give you some ideas.

    I was at a small wedding where the bridge and groom had to answer questions about each other (with the answers collected from each of them prior to the day), which was a good laugh. When they got a question wrong, they had to take a drink.

    As someone else said, people will probably be happy to sit around with a few drinks after the dinner considering it is a small group. Could always have a deck of cards in that scenario.

    Silent Disco? Headphones on, tunes away - groove on and do your thang. No need to even hire a dj the playlists take care of themselves.

    That's actually a really good idea! I've been to silent discos before and they're a bit of craic. I always find music too loud on nights out, so being able to control the volume is another major advantage. It would also mean that guests that aren't dancing won't have to listen to loud music and can chat more comfortably without shouting (less risk of getting too close and spreading more droplets etc).

    Ah I stand corrected - you may not need to hire a professional Disc Jockey however it is important that there is a "controller" to ensure a smooth running event.
    Party on
