Non-dancing entertainment/activities

Hi,

Games or keeping people entertained without dancing can be difficult.

We were going to do corn hole game outside and lawn darts. But inside we are thinking of possible games to do such as an eye spy type bingo, list of items and people check them off, first 3 win a prize and have some fun things to give out. Leave a card on tables listing photos you want people to capture then a hastag or web/email that people can upload/send them to for you to get additional pictures that you may not see. Trivia, he/she says/does are always fun.

You may want to push your food up with guidelines constantly changing.

Whatever you do, be safe and have fun.

Table games are fun if you create bingo cards or have guests spin the wheel to say a joke, story or something along the lines of tips at the podium. It won't feel as boring though it will be entertaining to hear from those who want to share. A time frame is good to keep so that you don't have a lot of speaking time for other guests to feel bored.

I went to a small wedding in August 2020 and they had someone come in to do trivia which was a lot of fun! We were seated at tables in our "bubbles" and marked our teams own answers as the trivia master read them aloud.

I am getting married July 2021 and we are thinking of doing some lawn games if we can. Horseshoes, lawn bowling, croquet - and then have everyone play in rounds, sanitizing the items in between and while the game is in progress a strict 6ft apart rule, and only touch your own game items.

We're thinking of doing games that tables can participate as groups/teams. Things like trivia, Family Feud or other game show type games. We'll have audio visual setup so we can also do games off Steam like Jackbox.

One thing to consider is, if we're still following the current covid guidelines set by the province when August comes, then there's a likelihood that your venue may be forced to end your event by 10pm at the latest (if we're an Orange zone). If your dinner service ends at 9pm, you may not have too much time for activities before you're forced to leave the premises.
