WEDDING GAMES TO PLAY AT AN INDIAN WEDDING
Wedding games are the perfect ice breakers for the two families to get to know each other.
They also ensure that the merriment and celebrations do not dwindle down to nothing.
So, below we have a list of the best wedding games to play at an Indian wedding.
- Who is Most Likely To
Starting with the easiest one of the bunch, this game is highly entertaining and is sure to reveal some secrets.
All you need to do is have all your guests equipped with paddleboards with the groom’s and the bride’s faces on opposite sides.
Then, one person, whom we call the trouble-making emcee will ask questions regarding the bride and the groom.
The guests have to take their best shot at guessing who between the couple is most likely to take part in the situation in the question and just keep playing along.
The questions and statements can be funny as well as relatable to keep the guests laughing along.
This is a super fun game that is taking over the wedding scene and will help the families get to know the bride and groom a little more.
- Tie the Knot
This is for pure laughter and giggles. Tie the knot is a saree tying game. In this, men from both the bride’s and the groom’s side attempt to tie a saree around the woman.
This game will undoubtedly make all the guests laugh out loud.
So, do not discard it as a silly game as silliness is sometimes what adds fun to your soirees.
- Beer Pong
The American game has been seen to be making the wedding rounds recently. This is the perfect game for cocktail parties, pool parties as well as after-parties.
It is a fun and harmless drinking game that has seemingly become a staple for wedding functions in India.
- The Shoe Game
This is an extremely popular Indian wedding game that involves the bride and the groom. The guests are sure to have a lot of fun as spectators of this game.
In this game, the bride and the groom sit back to back on chairs. On the one hand, they hold their shoe and on the other hand, they hold their partner’s footwear.
They are asked questions and statements related to each other.
The couple has to reply by raising the shoe of the person to whom the question relates the most.
The questions and statements can range from more family-friendly things to ones that get the couple to spill the beans. Instead of shoes, the same game can be played with placards.
- Cricket
Is there any game in the world that is hit with the Indian audience as much as cricket? We think not.
Taking inspiration from Priyanka Chopra and the cult favourite Hum Aapke Hai Kaun, cricket is a great way to involve the entire guest list.
Everyone from adults to guests and even pets can be a part of the much-loved game.
Incorporate the game into your existing rituals and ceremonies or just have a full day of cricket so that the family can relax and know each other.
- Couples Trivia
A quirky take on the who’s most likely to game, this is a fun quiz game on who knows the couple the most.
All you need to do is have some printouts with questions and statements regarding the couple. Then stack them up on a table and let your guests have at it.
This is a great way to highlight your wedding stationery or have interesting gifts for the winners.
- Tug-of-War
We are not sure how but Indian weddings are quite competitive. Remember the sangeet nights where each side tries to best each other in a friendly unsaid competition?
We suggest taking a more literal take of it.
Tug of war is a fun and friendly game that both the groom’s side and the bride’s side can indulge in.
This is another one of the games that can be played by everyone including children and adults.
To make the spirit of friendly competition even higher, you can include punishments for the losing team. Conversely, you can also have prizes for the winning team.
- Truth or Dare
This is a wedding game that needs no introduction.
While it is a risky one for events involving the family, it is ideal for the bachelor and bachelorette parties. It is great fun and frivolous game to keep the party entertained through the evening.
So just spin the bottle and get to it!
We hope that this article helped you get some inspiration for the best games to play at an Indian wedding.
