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!♡

Classic Game Type 6: Raffle Draw

A raffle draw where the bride and groom draw papers with guests' names written on them to present prizes is a classic idea!*

Everyone can enjoy the anticipation of wondering if their name will be called next!♩

Make sure to balance the names from the groom’s side and the bride’s side to create an equitable atmosphere!

Classic Game Type 7: Rock-Paper-Scissors Tournament

Lastly, an incredibly simple rock-paper-scissors tournament that even kid guests can enjoy!*

You can have guests compete against the bride and groom, with whoever keeps winning crowned as the champion,

Or they can play 1vs1 against the person next to them, with the final person remaining declared the winner!♡

No extra materials are needed, and it doesn’t take too much time, making it perfect as a connecting act!♩

Let’s create the most fun after-party ever!♡

Whether or not everyone enjoys the after-party together highly depends on the choice of games!*

The games introduced this time are ones everyone knows and will surely create a lively atmosphere!

Wishing all the soon-to-be brides to have a memorable and wonderful after-party experience!♡
