Engagement Party Games

It is at the engagement party that the families of couple know each other and probably meet the families and friends of each other for the first time. Some ice breaker activity is always welcome at that time.





Irrespective of who plans the party – the bride’s family, the engaged couple or any one else – there should be a few games and activities to get to know one another.

Create a “trivial pursuit “ type game where you ask about the lives of the bride and groom – just facts and events relating to them like how long did she take to say ‘yes’, where he proposed, where they met etc. You may also ask about events before they met and things independent of each other which can be fun and entertaining for people to know each other and the engaged people better.

Engagement parties can make use of the ice breaker at corporate functions and company parties. A card is taped to each person’s back and he or she is asked to work the room and mingle with every one and spot specially someone he/she has never met before. Before moving on to someone else ensure to make a comment on the person on the card on his or her back – like the impression “she seems sweet” or “he Knows a lot about the weather”.

The ice breaker is over when the mingling session ends. One by one the cards, with the remarks, are read when the people not only know each other but enjoy the comments of others on them. You should however see that the comments are positive and complimentary. They should not be hurtful.

In another card game each guest has a card on the front with his/her name and a number on the back. They don’t share their number with others. They mix and chat and know each other by the evening.

At the end of the evening the cards are flipped over and the numbers are shown. Everyone write the number on the paper and tries to talk to person with that number. This game is not good for people with bad names. However it is fun.

Another interesting game that does not put people on the spot quite such is to let the married help out the to be married. Place a poster board on the wall and mark “advice from women” and “advice from men” offer advice on marriage planning – not on wedding. Let the guest advice on planning a marriage. The advice of the elders in the group would be surely different from that of the youngsters in the guests. These comments will surely be enlightening.
