Wedding games for receptions and sangeets
Weddings bring together two families who often don’t know each other yet. A good game at the reception, sangeet or mehndi night breaks the ice, gets the generations mixing, and gives the couple a few new stories.
Every pick has a family-friendly Wedding card pack, with vows, baraats, first dances and seating plans. It’s available all year in each game’s Categories.
The 5 best games
1. Most Likely To (3+ players)
Who will cry during the vows? Who will catch the bouquet? Both families get to point at each other.
- Read the “Most likely to…” prompt out loud.
- Count to three. Everyone points at the player they think fits best, all at once.
- Tap the player with the most fingers pointing at them. A tie means all tied players score.
- Tap Next turn for a new prompt.
2. Imposter (3+ players)
Wedding words like Mandap, Baraat and Seating plan, with one guest bluffing. Perfect for mixing the two families.
- Pass the phone round. Each player taps their card to see the secret word, then hides it.
- One player sees “Imposter” instead (plus a one-word hint, if hints are on). They must bluff.
- Go round the circle. Everyone says one word linked to the secret word, then discuss and vote.
- Catch the imposter and everyone else scores 1. If they escape or guess the word, they score 2.
3. Charades (2+ players)
Act out cutting the cake, dancing in the baraat or saying “I do”. Great for sangeet and mehndi nights.
- The actor holds the phone so only they can see it, then taps Start.
- Act out the word on screen. No talking, no sounds, and no pointing at things in the room.
- When someone guesses it, tap Got it. Stuck? Tap Skip for a new word.
- When time runs out, the actor scores 1 point per word guessed. Pass the phone on.
4. Never Have I Ever (3+ players)
Wedding confessions, from catching the bouquet to wearing the same outfit to two weddings.
- Read the “Never have I ever…” statement out loud.
- Anyone who HAS done it raises a hand. Telling the story is optional.
- Tap each player with a hand up. They each score 1.
- Tap Next turn. The highest score at the end is the most adventurous.
5. Would You Rather (2+ players)
Huge wedding or tiny one? Week-long celebrations or one perfect day? Ask the couple first.
- Read both options out loud.
- Count to three. Everyone points left for the first option or right for the second.
- Tap every player on the bigger side. They each score 1. A tie means nobody scores.
- Tap Next turn for a new question.
