Three Methods for Team Formation in Group Games for a Second Gathering

In the After Party, We'll Have a Team Game!*

A classic way to spend the after party is to enjoy games together.

There are individual and team games, but if you're planning to do team competitions like "Bride and Groom Portrait Relay" or "Charades," you first need to divide into groups.*

How can we smoothly divide into teams in the limited time available??

Here are some recommended methods.

① Hand out papers with group names at the reception

First, at the reception for the after party.*

Based on a list, the bride and groom can divide guests into teams beforehand, and the person at the reception can hand out papers with group names like "1" or "A."

The advantage is that you can decide the lineup in advance, considering the characters of the guests, ensuring enough balance for everyone to have fun.♩

② Have guests draw lots at the reception

Next, place papers with group names into a lottery box and have guests draw lots at the reception.*

Who ends up on the same team is completely left to chance! (A fair way to decide.)

It's also recommended to prepare separate boxes to mix the bride's and groom's sides evenly.

③ Decide on the spot on the day of the event

Lastly, there's the method of deciding on the spot on the day of the event.*

The emcee can say, "The next game will be a team competition of five, so please divide yourselves right here!”

Guests will then naturally split into teams based on where they are standing.

They may end up with friends who are nearby,

but it may take a little extra time since guests will need to encourage each other to form teams, or the emcee may need to go around to guide, like saying, "Okay, I need two more for this team," etc.

This method is suitable for fewer participants or if you’re doing a voluntary team competition.*
