The short answer
- Best for mixing tables: wedding bingo and "How well do you know the couple?"
- Best for quiet moments: a word search or crossword with words from your story.
- Best for photos: a fortune teller filled with photo challenges.
- One game per table is enough. Put it on the table with a pen, and it gets passed round.
Five wedding table games to print
1. Wedding word search
A grid hiding 10 to 15 words from your story: where you met, your venue, your dog's name, the song you'll dance to. Pick Easy (across and down) for a mixed-age table, or Harder (diagonal and backwards) for the competitive cousins. The answers go on a second page.
2. How well do you know the couple?
Ten questions about the two of you, with answer lines. "Where did they meet?" "Who said I love you first?" Read the answers out between courses and let the tables mark each other's. There's also a "Who's most likely to" version, where guests circle one name: who's most likely to cry during the vows, to lose their phone tonight, to start the conga.
3. Wedding crossword
You write the clues ("Where we got engaged", "Our first holiday"), and the maker fits the answers into a grid. It's a good one for the quieter tables, and older guests love it.
4. Wedding bingo
Every guest gets a different card of 24 things that might happen: "Someone cries during the vows", "The best man mentions an ex", "Someone dances barefoot". The first full line shouts. Add a Full card round to keep it going into the evening. There's a Hen do version too.
5. Wedding fortune teller
The folded paper game from the school playground, filled with your own tasks. Pick a word, pick a number, lift the flap. Fill it with photo challenges, small dares, questions about you, or advice for the newlyweds. It prints as one square at the top of an A4 page: one cut, then fold. How to fold one.
Want a bit of everything? The activity sheet puts three small games on one page, one for each place setting.
Making table games work on the day
- One game per table, with a pen. Tape a pen to it, or the first person to pick it up will walk off with it.
- Put it where people sit, on top of the menu or beside the place cards, not on a side table nobody visits.
- Give the MC a line. "There's a quiz on your table. Answers after the main course!" turns a sheet of paper into a moment.
- Choose a prize. A bottle of fizz for the table that wins the quiz gets everyone joining in.
- Match your colours. Make every game in the same look as your invitations, so they look like part of the day and not a printout.
- Stand it next to your photo QR code. If your games set photo challenges, put them beside the QR code for your photo wall, so guests upload each picture there and then.
- Print a few spares. Someone always spills a drink on one.
