Teach me the classics of after-party games!
After the ceremony and reception, it’s time for the much-anticipated after-party!*
The highlight of the after-party is holding guest-participation games, where everyone can join in and have a great time together!♡
Since there are prizes at stake, some people get serious while others joke around, making the results unpredictable and thrilling!
So, this time, I’ll introduce seven classic after-party games that everyone knows the rules to, making them easy and fair to enjoy!*
Classic Game Type 1: Bingo
A game that’s a staple in welcome or farewell parties and reunions, and that most people have experienced, is definitely bingo!*
While the traditional number-based bingo is fine, recently, variations like name bingo or 9-square bingo have become popular!
Especially, name bingo encourages guests to interact, which might lead to new friendships!♡

Classic Game Type 2: Eating and Drinking Contest
A juice-drinking contest or a marshmallow-eating contest is truly a classic after-party game!
Although not every participant will compete (usually about 4-5 people per set),
The cheering (“Go for it!” “Drink up!”) will surely create a lively atmosphere!*
It will be even more enjoyable if the audience guests make predictions about who will win before the contest!♩
Classic Game Type 3: Guess the Bride Game
A popular game lately is having the groom blindfolded to shake hands with 4-5 female guests and guess who the bride is just by touch!*
If he guesses right, he receives a reward like a kiss on the cheek from the bride,
And if he guesses wrong, penalties like squats or chugging drinks are great ways to keep the energy up!♩
Classic Game Type 4: Blackbeard's Chase
Using the Blackbeard's Chase toy for an after-party game is also quite entertaining!*
You could have just one toy and let participants take turns sticking swords in, or
Prepare enough toys for each participant to stick their swords in all at once with a “Ready, set, go!” which adds suspense and excitement!♡
Classic Game Type 5: Bride and Groom Quiz
Another great idea is to quiz guests about the bride and groom, awarding prizes to those who answer the most questions correctly!*
This allows guests to sit down, sip drinks, and chat slowly while getting to know the couple better!♡
