Games for the Kids

With relatives, friends and the odd gate-crasher in tow, weddings are alive with page boys and flower girls waiting to add laughter and an infectious atmosphere to your special day. So, when it comes to the best games to have at your wedding, it is always a bright idea to think of who is likely to spend the most time in post processional play. But just how do you keep the kids amused during such a momentous event? Why not turn your wedding day into a mini funfair? Hitch yourself to the carnival chaos of Tin Can Alley, practice your bouquet catching accuracy with our Velcro Target Game. Perhaps you could even finish off the proceedings with some candy floss – Just make sure that it is white.

Giant Games

For a marriage of mammoth proportions, we suggest going big when it comes to love bound leisure. Giant party games are not only perfectly suited to players of all ages, but they can also prove to be the catalyst for creating magical memories.

Late Evening Leisure

Wedding days are never short… Just ask the exhausted bride and groom. But once the sun sets and liquid lubrication has taken full effect, it may be time to advance the evening entertainment to a more mature black-tie tone. So, with tuxedos and cocktail dresses in full swing, Jaques suggests a round of playing cards to add a touch of sophistication to the table-scape. Of course, should any future brides and grooms still be awake, set the mood by declaring what marriage is all about, with a game of Happy Families – The perfect way to get the bride swooning and the groom sweating.
