Wedding days bring together friends old and new from near and far, and often they may not have ever met before. So here are a few ideas to help your core wedding party get acquainted before the big day!
Being part of a wedding party is a special experience. Apart from being an integral part of someone’s big day, it’s also a great opportunity to meet and/or get closer with the people who are important to the couple getting married. A well-bonded wedding party can make the big day all the more special. So, here are some games that can help your wedding party have a tighter bond before the actual event.
Test Your Detective Skills
The escape room trend has a lot of different elements that can very quickly tighten bonds between even the most casual acquaintances. Watch near-strangers turn into friends as they scramble against time and their own mental acumen to escape the room. There are many different escape room experiences available throughout London and other major cities, which can make choosing one difficult. A list by Time Out can help you narrow down which ones are more in line with your wedding party’s interests. After you successfully make it out, there’s nothing like sitting back over drinks and discussing where you went wrong and how you all managed to work together.
Play a Round or Two of Mini Golf
Much like escape rooms, mini golf courses offer different themes, mechanics, and enough variety to make things interesting for every member of your wedding entourage. Here in the UK, we have our fair share of mini golf courses available for anyone in need of a relaxing, fun weekend. All over the world, The Guardian reveals that mini golf courses are popular as well even in the most unexpected locations. As an added bonus, these quirky courses offer lots of time for the wedding party to get acquainted.
Take an Online Quiz Together
Nowadays, apart from the different quizzes available online, there are plenty of ways for people in separate locations to take them together. Foxy Bingo recommends using apps like Skype or Zoom to set up an online quiz. The site’s bingo quiz might also be a good way to start this online bonding between all the different people in your wedding party. Despite dwindling numbers over the years, Statista notes how bingo halls remain very popular in the country, raking in over £600 million in revenue over the past year. This means that there’s bound to be one or two bingo fanatics among your wedding party, ready to ace any quizzes.
Make Homemade Wedding Invitations
If your wedding party is willing to help you with your goal of having an eco-friendly wedding, this is a good way to do that and squeeze a little bonding time in as well. As professional illustrator Charlotte Argyrou explained in a previous post, personalised gifts like simple illustrations can evoke good emotions without contributing to the degradation of the planet’s natural resources. This is also perfect for groups that are composed of artists and people in the creative fields. When the members of your party are already well-acquainted come wedding time, they’re much more likely to enjoy the day and feel comfortable.
