The wedding reception is a somewhat formal setting, with many relatives and company superiors present.

In contrast, the after-party is often just friends, making it a great time to let loose and have fun♡ At such wedding after-parties, it’s customary to have games that everyone can participate in and enjoy＊

There are various ideas like quizzes about the bride and groom and bingo, but what kind of games would you like to prepare for your own wedding after-party?

Let's prepare some fun games based on examples from experienced brides♡

From Heartwarming to Energetic＊ After-Party Game ① Soba Eating Contest

Invite a few guests to participate in a soba-eating contest...! This scene looks just like a competitive eating championship.

It seems like it was a lot of fun＊ Everyone, please be careful not to eat too quickly and choke....!

The groom has to guess how many marshmallows he can eat.

The answer was, "As many as the bride’s loves me♡". Seeing the lovey-dovey couple must have warmed the guests' hearts?!

From Heartwarming to Energetic＊ After-Party Game ④ Various Activities

Here's a list of games from a bride who asked a professional after-party planning company for help＊

Activities like building a card tower and bucket ball catch seem like they could involve many guests and be a blast♡ It's impressive to see such a variety of options, truly professional! Their organizational skills must be amazing＊

From Heartwarming to Energetic＊ After-Party Game ⑤ Blackbeard's Boom

This bride also did a game of Blackbeard's Boom♡ For after-party games, simple rules are best! Since Blackbeard's Boom is a familiar game that everyone has probably played at least once, there's no need for rule explanations, which is great＊

This version of Blackbeard's Boom apparently has five times the usual launch power, and the expressions of surprise from guests when it pops up and the cute faces of the bride and groom are delightful♡

From Heartwarming to Energetic＊ After-Party Game ⑥ Pair-Searching

The classic "pair-searching game" becomes very heartwarming when everyone creates their own character designs.

It can be a theme everyone recognizes, like Tsum Tsum or Disney, or something more niche related to the bride and groom's hobbies, which would also be exciting!

From Heartwarming to Energetic＊ After-Party Game ⑦ Bingo

Bingo is the classic, widely recognized after-party game that requires no explanation, but just by using an original design for the bingo papers, it can make the wedding feel so much more "us"♡

A cute photo of their pet dog would be adorable♡ Using their pre-wedding photos or childhood pictures would also create a fun atmosphere!

From Heartwarming to Energetic＊ After-Party Game ⑧ Juice Drinking Race

There are many types of fast-drinking games, like chugging cola or beer, but cola can be difficult because of the carbonation, and some guests may not drink beer. (Plus, fast drinking alcohol can be very dangerous!)

An orange juice straw-drinking race would be easier for even cute girls to participate in♡ It's a game that’s friendly towards female guests.

From Heartwarming to Energetic＊ After-Party Game ⑨ Gari-Gari-kun Eating Contest

The bride and groom also held a Gari-Gari-kun ice pop eating contest＊

Watching everyone eat quickly, worried they might get a headache from the cold.... and then seeing someone eating it normally and enjoying it was heartwarming♡

From Heartwarming to Energetic＊ After-Party Game ⑩ Draw a Portrait of the Bride and Groom

Finally, here's a wonderfully heartwarming game＊

Divide guests into several teams and have them draw portraits of the bride and groom＊ The team with the closest resemblance wins! Guests can draw at any time during the after-party, ensuring there’s never a dull moment, and the bride and groom can take these portraits home as treasured souvenirs, making it highly recommended♡

The Most Important Thing is Everyone Smiling♡ Have Fun with the After-Party Games＊

What do you think would be a good after-party game?

All of these sound like so much fun, but when choosing, consider the age range, personality, and how many groups will be present among your participating guests to ensure everyone enjoys the games together＊

For example, if everyone knows each other, games that involve specific people going upfront will be energizing, but if participants aren’t well acquainted, something like bingo might be better suited♡

It's all about making the guests smile at both the wedding and the after-party♡ Please decide on some fun games for the after-party so everyone can have a wonderful time together♩
