Engagements and weddings
Engagement and wedding games and ideas that get every guest involved
Weddings already have a running order: the speeches, the first dance, the cake. The guests mostly watch. These ideas give them a part, at the engagement party, the dinner the evening before, or the reception.
Ideas
Four ideas for an engagement or a wedding
Each works whether there are thirty guests or a hundred and fifty.
How they met, told by everyone else
Ask guests what they remember from the early days: the first time they met the new partner, the first trip together. Everyone saw a different piece of the story.
A bride or groom quiz from the people who know them
Where was the first date? Who said "I love you" first? What do they always order? Questions built from what friends and family remember beat a quiz from a template every time.
Advice from long marriages
Ask grandparents, parents and old friends for one piece of advice for married life. Some will be wise and some will be funny; both are worth keeping.
A guest book people actually read
Instead of a book signed at the door, collect messages, photos and advice from a link, and keep them all on one page to open on every anniversary.
What to ask for
What to ask guests for
Send these with the invitation or the wedding website link, to both families.
- When did you first meet them as a couple, and what did you think?
- Send a photo of either of them, from any year, with where and when.
- One piece of advice for married life.
- What's a habit one of them has picked up from the other?
- Write one line to toast them with.
Why it works
Why not the guest book and the speeches?
The guest book is signed in a hurry and read once. The speeches are three people. Hear Hear collects from every guest, turns it into a short quiz on the screen with toasts between the rounds, and leaves a page of every message and photo. It sits calmly beside the speeches rather than replacing them.
How to run it
How to run it at an engagement or a wedding
Choose when it runs.
At the engagement party or a dinner before the wedding there's more time. At the reception, about 30 minutes between courses is plenty.
Choose who it's about.
Each event is about one person. You can make it about one of them, or run one each, at the engagement party or at the hens and bucks.
Share the link with the invitation.
Guests send stories, photos, toasts and advice ahead of time, or at the door by QR code, with no app and no account.
Check it all, then run it.
Approve everything before the day so nothing surprises the grandparents, then put it on the screen and let every phone answer.
Setup suggests the Soft theme for this occasion. You can change it any time, even during the event.

FAQ
Questions people ask
- Can it be about both of them?
- Each event is about one person. Choose one of them, or run one event for each; guests can still send stories about the two of them together.
- Does it fit a formal reception?
- Yes. Check everything before the day, keep it to about 30 minutes between courses, and nobody needs to stand up and speak.
- Do we keep the messages?
- On a paid event everything sent goes on a keepsake page: messages, photos, toasts and advice. Anyone with the link can open it and save everything.
