According to tradition, after oczepiny, it's time for games, competitions and fun. This is one of those elements that has not changed much over the years. Also among the games themselves, a certain canon has been established - it cannot do without playing tricks/chairs or a compatibility test for the Bride and Groom. However, it is worth surprising the guests with something interesting and unexpected - here are some ideas for interesting games for the wedding and competitions - classy, funny, for adults and children.
Wedding games - vocal competitions
Many of us dreamed more than once to shine on stage for a moment. A wedding is a great opportunity to show off your vocal skills and hidden talents. Karaoke can be one of the wedding games in itself - let's organize a contest for the star of the stage! We can also include them in other games and competitions. For example, the spouse who loses the quiz "How well do you know your significant other?" must perform the selected piece as an apology. The possibilities here are almost limitless. It is important that the wedding hall has the ability to organize karaoke, i.e. it must have a projector and screen, as well as microphones. Often it is the team that takes care of such an attraction.
Fun for a wedding - become a photographer
Not everyone may like to sing, but almost everyone has a cell phone with a camera. Why not use this to host a contest for the best wedding selfie? The photo booth is also an interesting solution. Joanna Hoc-Kopiej, a wedding expert at Dwór Korona Karkonoszy, points out: “A photo booth is a very popular wedding attraction recently.
Especially for this occasion, we have at our disposal wigs, glasses, hats, boas and other gadgets that wedding guests are very happy to use. Such original fun wedding photos will be a great souvenir for both the Bride and Groom and guests, and such classy wedding fun will be great entertainment for adults and children. The photo booth can also act as an addition to the guest book, because photo prints can be pasted on blank cards and attached to them wishes and dedications. There is usually a huge queue for such a position!
Games for a wedding - a matter of taste
A blind taste contest will also be great at a wedding. Blindfolded participants will have to guess the spice, what the tincture tastes like, name as many dessert ingredients as possible or recognize the fruit by touch. It is also worth thinking about gifts for the winners. Joanna Hoc-Kopiej adds: “At the request of the Young Couples, we offer our own coffees, craft beers and preserves. They are perfect as gifts for guests or prizes in various wedding games. Such craft products as a prize, they will certainly make the competition even more fierce and the fun great. Such original gifts don't come around often - it's worth fighting for!

Fun for a wedding without ridicule!
Many wedding games of that time were based on laughter, but sometimes the boundaries of good taste were crossed. It all depends on the Bride and Groom and the attitude of the family. Because some people love to laugh to tears during oczepin. Some newlyweds eschew such ridiculous, sometimes embarrassing attractions altogether and opt for less familiar forms of entertainment. Sometimes it happens that they completely give up wedding games and even oczepin! In many regions of Poland, this tradition is not known, and other wedding ceremonies are held instead. Everything depends on the beliefs and taste of the Bride and Groom. But if we are already organizing fun, let's focus on funny caps.
Fun for a wedding from team building!
Many modern wedding games are based on the trend of cooperation. This creates not only a great picture, but also really engages guests in games, from which until recently they were hiding behind the tables. Fewer and fewer annoying competitions, and more and more games that are fun, smart, and at the same time create a sense of integration in the guests. One such competition is the joint building of the Goldberg machine. Guests divided into several groups build special constructions. Literally everyone is involved, so the fun is great.
Row races are also another way. They rely on time competition, agility and ingenuity. In addition, they increase a bit of competition in the guests - and there is something to fight for. It can be a dance with the Bride and Groom or a bottle of good liquor. Like a wedding, of course, there are dances - many modern games involve learning a special dance routine. Literally all wedding guests can take part in such a competition. Thanks to this, this game does not embarrass or limit anyone, and even children attending the wedding will like it.
Themed fun for a wedding
If wedding party is maintained in a specific theme, it is worth organizing such competitions to match the chosen style. If, for example, wedding reception is maintained in a film style, it is worth using it and organizing a film knowledge competition for willing guests. If the Bride and Groom know perfectly well that there are real connoisseurs of cinematography among them, they can easily point them out. Such people will certainly feel honored and appreciated. In this case, the prize may be a CD with a film in a unique edition or an invitation to the cinema with the Bride and Groom.
Or are you referring to a specific title? A wedding in the style of Harry Potter or Alice in Wonderland will bring you a lot of inspiration. This may be the best played game of XXL chess, just like it was in the cult series about the most famous wizard. Perhaps you want to create a surprise for your guests and invite a magician to perform, who will pull the rabbit out of the hat and enchant the cards? This idea will surely appeal to all guests!
Let's not forget that a wedding is primarily a celebration of love and a big step in the life of the newlyweds. Just like all other elements of the wedding, also games and activities should be in line with the tastes and preferences of the spouses. Remember that guests also need to feel comfortable and if we see that everyone is running away from competitions, let's come up with such games that everyone will be happy to participate in them. The most important thing is that joy reigns on that day, and smiles are always on the faces.
