Table entertainment & quirky ideas

How about some sort of quiz on the tables or nave a raffle ! We're having a guy that draws people's portrayed in a funny way !

We have social stirrers on our tables- they got people talking when people diddnt know everyone there?

I bought these and never used them, , got about 6 boxes in the cupboard ☹️ we had such a t'do with place settings that we sat everyone next to someone they knew.

I had table trivia which was good for people to break the ice. (cheap off ebay)

My brother had a quiz which was great at his wedding, & again got the table working together. Each table were given a list of about 12 questions, all wedding related to different traditions from around the world. People had to guess the answer & the funniest/most accurate table won a prize. Some examples include:

In which country would a groom wear a bargong?

What is the blacken & where does it originate?

A Hindu bride usually wears her wedding ring where?

Welcome to hitched but be warned, its VERY addictive.

The one I've just been to had a crossword with questions relating to the bride and groom, and the table that completed it first got a box of chocolates.

What a great idea, wanted something like that but without it being too general weddingy if you know what I mean. Caricature idea is also a great idea... Will have to see if I can find someone to do that!

I found an amazing website - toptableplanner - you can draw your room plan and download your excel speadsheet guest list into it and arrange the guests! £10 for six months use and really worth it! It's made our table plans so easy as you can keep moving people around!

Thanks for the advice - and you're right... This website is addictive!

There's a free seating planner on the ipad, , we did ours on there.
