Apart from adding to the celebration, the post wedding games helps the newlywed couple relax after the stressful wedding rituals. Whether it’s the mehndi might or the baraat or once all the wedding formalities are taken care of, the game props are brought out and the entire family gathers for some whole-hearted fun accompanied by light-hearted leg pulling.
KNOT TO WORRY!
Multiple tight knots are tied on a rope. The couple is then asked to untie the knots. Again, whoever does it quicker rules the roost, marriage-wise. Also, the sooner the couple can unravel the knots, the happier their marriage will be, supposedly.
ANTAKSHARI –
One of the oldest games to be played between the two families on a wedding. It would be a perfect bonding game especially to connect the elder members of the families as they reminisce songs of their time.
DANCE PE CHANCE –
How about a dance off between the bold, young people from both the sides. Guys and girls can compete each other to an epic dance battle. This is sure to a quick energizer for both the parties and get them in “jooshila” mood.
TUG OF WAR –
A tug-of-war between the two sides is a popular wedding game as well. The bride’s side and the groom’s side engage in some good old-fashioned show of strength. It is said that whoever wins will have the last say, family-wise.
HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW ME?
This is not a traditional wedding game, but fun nevertheless. It is more like a quiz. Questions are prepared based on personal trivia about the bride and groom. For example, questions regarding favorite things, first vacation etc are asked. The person who correctly answers most of these questions, wins. Sounds a lot of fun to watch (and tease over!), right?
TRUTH OR NOT?
This game might touch some embarrassing territory for the bride and groom but what is a game without some risky fun? The bride and groom are seated with their backs to each other. They are then asked questions to which they can only nod an answer. The questions can be anything from acknowledging the other person’s clumsiness to nodding away about their first romantic moment. The fun part is that the two cannot watch each other’s expressions. It is best to keep the elderly folks out of this one though!
LEMON AND SPOON –
This is a common family picnic game that is often incorporated into weddings to include the younger cousins. The little ones from both sides are asked to race each other with a spoon held in their mouths. The additional challenge is that they also have to balance a lemon on it.
WHERE THAT RING AT?
The ring is often hid in a bowl of flour or milk along with some other small ornaments for confusion. Bothe the bride and the groom are asked to find the ring. The person who finds it first wins, and is said to be more loving and dominant in their relationship.
