Alternatives to dancing

My fiancee and I are shy people who do not like to be the centre of attention, which is why we have opted for a small wedding (about 50 people). Neither of us enjoy dancing (he gets physically uncomfortable by the idea of it), so we are considering not having a dance floor and first dance at our wedding and instead we are thinking of having games where everyone can join in. My biggest worry though is that people will get bored. What are your thoughts on that? Have you ever been to a wedding that has done that successfully? Do you have any alternative activities to dancing?

    I think you could have both! I think you could have games for everyone (would be super fun) but you could also have a small dance floor and some tunes going for those who would like to dance.

    Not everyone likes board games, but not everyone likes dancing. Your guests are adults (or mostly adults, if you’re having children) and adults can entertain themselves for the evening if they don’t like the activities planned. Just do what you want, and if people don’t like what is be8 g offered, they are responsible for themselves.

    You dont need to use the dance floor but I think it might be nice to still have one for your guests. Have some games as well so people ca9n decide what they'd like to do!

    What if you placed a tiara under 1 chair of each table and have those come up and do a chicken dance competition. The winner receives a bottle of Bailey's or liquor. It would be fun and lots of laughter. Let there be a twist of making the chicken sound while going down.

    Games are a great way to keep guests entertained... people can both watch and participate, so they can take breaks.
    Just account for the fact that many weddings only go late past dinner and speeches because of dancing... so it may naturally wind down a few hours earlier than if you had a dance floor. But that's totally okay too!

    I have yet to be to a wedding without dancing but I would recommend any kind of drinking game! Bring on the beer pong and card games! Of course games like corn hole and plinko are fun too Smiley tongue
