Fun Wedding Music Activities
Music is as much an element of a good wedding as food and drink. You can have a wedding ceremony without music, but it's likely it with seen a little quiet and dull. So whether you have a full live band, a string quartet, a DJ spinning tunes or recorded music from a boom box, it ought to be included.
But music's not just for dancing. The're a vast amount of activities you can plan around the music that will add an ingredient of fun to your wedding.
One favorite idea is to play musical chairs. Sure, this is a enjoyable kits game and you wouldn't want to insult your guests in any way, but you may have some fun with this variation of musical chairs. The chairs may be almost anything, from chairs lined up from the food tables, to the floor, if you believe your guests can be ready to accept sitting on the floor (and then having to get on my feet and down again). One fun option is to use the men as the chairs - they kneel on the ground, with one knee on the ground and the other bent. The women sit gently on the men's' knees as they are playing musical chairs. When either the male or female falls down, that partnership is out, until one couple is left.
Some brides and grooms like to play musical chairs in order to give away the table focal point, which lots of guests like to take home. In place of assigning a number and awarding the centerpiece to the individual who holds that that number, you have every table play musical chairs until the person left standing is the one that grows to take home the centerpiece.
How about a rousing game of "name that tune"? This is a game that is better for a smaller, intimate wedding where everybody knows the bride and groom well. Prior to the wedding ceremony, which a person is planning the wedding should get an index of favorite songs of both the bride and groom. Create a CD of those songs, and then build a game of "name that tune". Guests may be divided into teams and then be played just a tiny snippet of each song.
After guests hear that first snippet, they can then "bid" on how quickly they can name the tune. So one group might say they can name the tune in 10 seconds, while the other group might say 5 seconds. Once one group has bowed out, the other group in turn will have to "name that tune". This is a fun game that gets everyone involved and which the bride and groom are particularly delighted by.
Depending on the type of the wedding, there are many fun games you can play to get the the happy couple out on the dance floor. Now, if this is a huge and very gracious wedding, this option might not work since there is certain decorum to keep up, but for a casual, fun, family-centered wedding some of these games can be entertaining.
If guests want to "call out" the wedding ceremony couple onto the dance floor, they can be asked to go out on the dance floor themselves first and hula hoop or perform their own adaptation of a break dance. Much in the way guests now and again have to "perform" to get the couple the kiss this is another way to get the guests involved and having fun in order to create fun wedding memories for the bride and groom.
