Types of Bingo: A Summary Check*
When it comes to classic games for welcome and farewell parties or wedding after-parties, Bingo is a staple.
It's a game that is so familiar to Japanese people that
"I don't want it to be seen as too standard and boring!"
"Someone reaching bingo too quickly is annoying!"
"It doesn’t seem to change much."
"It feels too much like a party game, so doing it at a wedding is a bit..."
These are common images associated with it, but nowadays, many couples are creating original squares with themes other than numbers, or coming up with unique questions,
making efforts to engage guests in enjoyable ways!
Original and creatively arranged Bingo can be refreshing for the hosts too! ♩
Here are some types of Bingo that go beyond just guessing numbers!*
① Guest Name Bingo
First up is the popular name Bingo!*
Distribute blank Bingo cards and have guests ask each other for names to fill in the squares.
The newlyweds then draw names from a box containing guests' names and progress with the Bingo.
It would be nice to share a quick memory about the guest drawn from the box! *
② Animal Bingo
The animal version of Bingo, where terms like "penguin!", "dog!", "dolphin!" are thrown around, creates a heartwarming atmosphere.*
This is a recommended idea for weddings that have children attending.
➡ You can also buy Animal Bingo on Rakuten!
③ Food Bingo
Next, we have food Bingo!*
It could be fun to create a theme based on the couple’s favorite foods or the groom’s favorite dishes from the bride!
The cards could either be randomly made by the couple,
or a slide could display a variety of food options, and guests could choose to write their favorites in the squares.
④ Couple’s Episode Bingo
Couple’s Episode Bingo is also popular!*
You can progress through Bingo while sharing stories about your memories together, love stories, and funny anecdotes, achieving a two-for-one effect!
It’s a loving Bingo that allows guests to learn more about the couple! ♩
