Planning a wedding is an exciting journey filled with countless decisions, from the venue to the entertainment. While the spotlight is often on the bride and groom, creating a memorable experience for your guests is equally important. Including interactive and fun wedding games is an excellent way to keep everyone engaged. At Gentone, we specialise in helping couples design unforgettable wedding experiences with creative ideas that resonate with guests of all ages. Here are ten wedding game ideas your guests will truly love!
Wedding Bingo
Wedding Bingo is a fantastic way to entertain guests during the ceremony or reception. Create custom bingo cards with fun cues like “bride’s first dance," "the groom laughs," or "flower girl drops petals." This game is perfect for breaking the ice among guests who may not know each other well. With Gentone's expertise in wedding planning, you can customize bingo cards to match your theme seamlessly.
Photo Scavenger Hunt
Organizing a photo scavenger hunt can give your guests an interactive challenge. Create a list of moments to capture, like “a funny face,” “the couple’s kiss,” or “a group selfie.” This game encourages guests to use their phones to snap memorable pictures, which you can later collect for your wedding album. At Gentone, we recommend pairing this game with a photo booth for added fun.

They can fill in the blanks with quirky or heartfelt words, creating fun memories for you to read later. With Gentone’s design tips, you can ensure these templates align with your wedding theme.

Jenga is an all-time favourite that gets everyone’s adrenaline pumping. Opt for a giant-sized version to make it a focal point at your wedding. Personalize the blocks with meaningful quotes or fun dares to add a unique twist. Gentone’s wedding planners often include this crowd-pleaser at outdoor receptions.
The Shoe Game
The Shoe Game is a wedding classic designed to entertain while giving guests insights into the couple’s relationship. The bride and groom sit back-to-back and exchange one shoe with each other.

With Gentone’s guidance, you can ensure the questions strike the right balance of humour and charm.
