But,

☑ "Isn't playing bingo at an after-party too ordinary...?"

☑ "I'm worried if bingo will be exciting, and I hope the guests aren't getting bored...?"

☑ "I might not want the same run-of-the-mill bingo like at year-end parties or farewell parties..."

If so, let’s add some twists to the rules and the cards and create a uniquely interesting bingo game ♡

That way, guests will surely enjoy it with a fresh perspective *

Here are some original bingo ideas that real brides have successfully used in their after-parties!

Type of Bingo 1: Name Bingo

First, we introduce Name Bingo ♡

◆ How to Play ◆

① Distribute one blank bingo card (recommended to have 9 empty squares!) to each person.

② Have guests around you listen to and write down the names of 9 people other than themselves (it helps to suggest an equal mix of genders).

③ Draw the names of guests from the groom's side and the bride's side from a box, and read them aloud alternately.

④ If a guest's name is called, they color in that square, and the first person to get bingo wins.

The charm of Name Bingo is that it naturally encourages guests to greet each other and share their names, creating a friendly atmosphere for interaction ♡

After Name Bingo, the entire venue should feel cozy as if everyone knows each other *

There’s also that thrill of wondering when your name will be called... ♡

Type of Bingo 2: 9-Square Bingo

Next, we introduce 9-Square Bingo ♡

◆ How to Play ◆

① Distribute one blank 9-square bingo card to each person.

② Have them randomly write numbers from 1 to 60 (it is recommended to set the upper limit based on the number of guests).

③ Draw papers with numbers from a box and read them aloud.

④ The guest who fills in their squares the fastest wins.

The charm of 9-Square Bingo is that guests can freely choose their favorite numbers to fill in * Unlike regular bingo cards with printed numbers, the joy of having your chosen number called is on another level ♡

Moreover, since there are fewer squares, 9-Square Bingo is perfect for small weddings or after-parties with time constraints!

Type of Bingo 3: Animal Bingo

We also discovered Animal Bingo (Anima Bingo) ♡

◆ How to Play ◆

① Distribute one bingo card with pictures of animals drawn in the squares (it's also fine to have them fill in their favorite animals themselves).

② Read out the names of animals randomly, one by one.

③ The first person to fill in their squares wins.

Animal Bingo creates a warm and fuzzy atmosphere as words like "Penguin!", "Giraffe!", and "Elephant!" fill the room, making it collectively cheerful ♡

It's also a great recommendation for receptions with children present!

Type of Bingo 4: Episode Bingo

Finally, we introduce Couple's Episode Bingo ♡

◆ How to Play ◆

① Create multiple-choice quizzes based on past stories of the newlyweds.

② Ask guests to write the number they think is the correct answer on their blank bingo card.

③ Gradually reveal the correct answers one by one.

④ Ultimately, the person who gets bingo (the one with the highest correct answer rate) wins.

The charm of Episode Bingo is that it allows everyone to learn more about the couple while enjoying the quizzes in a fun format ♡

This bingo game will surely foster a sense of closeness among the guests ♩
