Lawn games

Melinda, on March 2, 2017 at 10:54 Posted in Wedding reception 0 10

For our brunch wedding we decided not to have a DJ/dance party, but instead we are having lawn games and activities. I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas of really fun lawn games or outdoor (or indoor) activities? I have found lots of ideas on Pinterest, but I thought I'd put up a post in case anyone has ideas that I haven't come across yet.

Here are a few we are considering:

- this ball and stick game (in our colours)

ball and stick game

- giant x's and o's

giant x's and o's

- ring toss/washer toss/bean bags

- bocce/lawn bowling

And we are going to have bride and groom trivia crosswords set out at each plate for people to do while we are having a few pictures done after the ceremony.

crossword

We are also considering having a scoreboard set up where people can keep track of how many games they win - we are both competitive when it comes to sports and games so we thought it would be funny because our families always making fun of us for being too Type A when playing games!

Oh and we also considering doing a scavenger hunt since our venue has such a huge property and it will get people up and moving. But we might already have enough going on.

Anyone have other ideas?

    Croquet is always fun and you don't have to set up a big course. Ladder ball is super fun and you can either build your own or buy one rather inexpensively. Here is a link with some good ideas http://www.intimateweddings.com/blog/summer-wedding-ideas-lawn-games/

    I forgot about the ladder toss game. Looks like it is fairly easy to build and it's super fun! Thanks!

    Super fun... Might I suggest Lader Ball, I just played it for the first time last summer, it was crazy fun and competitive, or a giant janga.
