By Popular demand, here are some popular games that are played on or with the bridal
couple. If you have any other games, please let me know (Email).
Some families or cultures may be sensitive to some games or consequences you perform on
the couple. Please ensure that no protocols are breached before playing a game.
Life Saver: Blindfold the groom (you don't want to mess up the bride's
makeup). Put 4 different coloured (flavoured) life savers in the Bride's mouth. Have the
Groom fish each colour out in a specific order (get the audience to choose). For each one
he gets wrong, he has to do a drink (if he has been drinking too much may I suggest a full
glass of water for each error)
Pop the Balloon: Get the wedding party out and place a balloon between
each woman and man (use your imagination of where to put the balloon). They have to hug
tightly enough to break the balloon. The last one to do it is punished. (Do not
fully inflate the Newlyweds balloon - it makes it harder or impossible to pop).
Punishments can be anything from kissing, to singing , to carrying the bride around the
room, etc...
Instantly-Wed Game: Same as the Newly Wed Game - When the Bride leaves
the room to change (or powder her nose) ask the groom some questions about them to see if
the Bride answers the same when she returns. For each wrong answer you can offer a
punishment. Sample Questions would be: What was the other person wearing when they met?
Does the other person like their toilet paper to roll off the top of the roll or the
bottom? Who is smarter, the bride or the groom and why?
You can also use do the above game with the bride and groom taking off their shoes and
exchanging one of theirs for their spouses. Make the questions so that they have to answer
with either a him or her. For example, "who will be the one who takes out the
garbage?" The newlyweds would then hold up the shoe that corresponds with who they
think is going to do it. Of course the couple have to be back to back so they cannot see
how the other responds!
Egg through the Pants: Everyone does this one. Get a raw egg and have
the Bride insert the egg in one of the Groom's pant legs and then fish it
through the pants until it comes out of the other pant leg. If the egg doesn't make
it through in one piece, it is punishment enough. Some people have used frozen oranges or
sponges.
Raw Egg Transfer: Put a raw egg into a cup. Have one newlywed pour the
egg into their mouth; then, have him/her transfer the raw egg from their mouth into their
spouse's mouth; then have him/her spit the egg back out into the cup. You might want to
get them some bibs so that they don't get their attire eggy.
Guess the Lip Stick Marks: Have a few girls (or guys) kiss a sheet of
paper along with the bride. The Groom then has to correctly guess which one is hers.
Guess the Hands (Calves, Thighs, Butt, etc... work too): Blind fold
the participant and have him or her feel a certain body part of some volunteers and then
their spouse (remember your doing a family show here!). Then he or she has to guess which
one was their partners.
Sniff out your Mate: Like Guess the Hand, the participant must
identify their counter-part by smelling a certain area (we recommend hand or neck).
Cinderella (Whose shoes are these?): Same as the above two - but they
don't have to smell them.
Pen in the bottle: This is a communication game. You need to
prepare an empty bottle, string, a pen and a stick and a blindfold, (last 2 are
optional). You put a bottle on the floor and tie a pen to a string. If you have a stick
and a blindfold you can do this "fishing" style. Blind fold the groom and have
the bride give him instructions on how to lower the pen into the neck of the bottle. If
you do not have a stick and a blindfold, you can tie the string and pen around the grooms
waist so that the pen is behind him (like a tail) and the bride can get him to set the pen
in by giving him instructions on squatting. |
