Today’s Inspiration was submitted by Sandy! Sandy was inspired by activities and games you can play during your reception! I love this new trend in weddings and I think it’s just going to get bigger because interactive weddings are a big hit with guests! Games bring guests together and gives them something to do while taking a break from dancing. Add one of these activities below and you will have a wedding people will be talking about for years!

Leila- why didn’t we do games for our wedding? Knowing now that we could’ve had games at the wedding I feel like I really got short changed 🙂
Plus, you know that this would’ve been my dad’s dream wedding for us, right?
so so fun!! makes me wish we had some games during our wedding!!!
such a fun way to keep everyone entertained and involved in the festivities!
LOVE the cross word place setting!!
at my sisters wedding we played a ping pong competition between the bridesmaids and groomsmen and it was so exciting! by the end of the competition, other guests watching were taking bets on who was to win!
I feel so honored and inspired! These ideas are great and I can’t wait to see what festivities we decide on for our wedding. Leila, this blog is such a wonderful tool to brides to be like me! Thanks again!

I love reception games! Such a fun way to entertain your guests and make the day even more memorable and fun!

Ping Pong at a wedding?! That’s fantastic!
The cribbage board is really really cute. Games are a great idea, especially for guests who don’t like dancing. Fun idea, Sandy!
I love this idea!
These are some great games! A wedding is supposed to be a party, and what’s a party without games?!
I agree with Krista, great entertainment! The emerging trends leading to more fun, engaging, and memorable weddings are super. Love it!

Tony’s comment made me laugh. No worries though Leila, your wedding was still everything a girl could want and more!
The ring toss game looks so vintage and fun!
I love the ideas about the crossword puzzle as a table setting piece. Such a great way to start a conversation amongst tablemates.
Love this idea… really brings the families together!
