Entertainment at your wedding….do you want or need it? Are there any children coming? Is it an all-day affair with plenty of time for some games? Do you like the idea of breaking away from Great Grandma and tottering over, with your shoes and champagne in hand, to take your place in a Giant Twister Championship?! Actually, would it be Great Grandma politely removing herself to go trounce the younger ones at Boules? You could make a special ‘Games Area’ surrounded by bunting and lights and sign post it from the main venue. Have a giant score board! Or have a central feature of a few games so that people can watch the play as they sample the bar and catch up with their fellow guests.
There are so many great garden games options which add that little extra something to your Day that no matter the venue, or the space available, we’ll have something just right!
Giant Jenga
It’s a classic and so much fun when it’s massive! Loved by old, young and everyone in between you can all get involved with Jenga. Who’s hands are the steadiest, who has the most patience and who is just that lucky?
Giant Get Twisted
Now this is an automatic hit with the kids, but there have been many an adult enticed by our out-sized Twister style game to take off their shoes put down the champagne, and see just how flexible they still are! For up to 30 players and comes with 2 large inflatable dice.
Big Connect 4
This is one of those strangely addictive games that anyone can have a go at and is easy to play but is best loved by kids. Big Connect 4 stands at 1.2m high and can be set up as an indoor or outdoor game making it perfect for any venue.
Skittles
No need for grass with this classic game and not too much space needed either, though best make sure there’s no danger of knocking over anything other than the skittles! Set up Skittles in pretty much any venue and see who’s throwing arm is going to win the day.
Croquet
A classic game of patience and skill…or just a fun knock around for everyone! Our Croquet set is for 4 players weighted to be suitable for children aged 4+ and adults and has 4 hoops making it perfect for almost any grassy venue.
Boules
This French favourite has become very popular over here. Throw the jack and see how close you can get the polished alloy Boules by throwing and then letting them roll into place. Up to eight players and again, a great game for families with children aged 6+
Garden Cricket
The perfect game for families! Our Cricket set is sized to be suitable for children as well as adults and even the tennis style ball is perfect for smaller hands. Play with the classic rules or make you’re own!
Rounders
Best for a big group or family and a venue with a bit of space in case you’ve invited any big hitters! Our Rounders set includes classic wooden posts and bat along with stitched ball. Choose your teams and let the contest begin! Great for ages 4+
Great entertainment or group activities are so memorable and definitely go towards that unique and personalised impression of the Day. It shows you’ve thought about your guests and put effort into creating ice breakers for those who don’t know each other, and opportunities for light hearted competition amongst friends and family – such a great way to get everyone talking!
Whatever games you choose, if any, they are all a great way to get people up and involved. Run an overall scoreboard and give out prizes, or just do it for the hell of it! We love hearing any new or different ideas for Wedding Games so feel free to comment with anything you may have seen!
