Weddings Games at weddings?

I suggest games/icebreakers quite often...I would agree to a point that you can be successful by doing them/not doing them but if you get more referrals when you DO do them, couldn't that be interpreted as it being MORE successful by doing them?

I will probably be doing the musical chairs/scavenger hunt game at about 3-4 of my weddings this year. For families/crowds that may be more of the non-dancing type of more of a challenge to get out on the floor, they can really do the job in breaking the ice and getting everyone to let their guard down. I have also found it to be VERY successful when doing weddings where the bride/groom are different nationalities. (last year I had a wedding where groom's side was korean and bride's side was chinese...worked like a charm!)

And of course, I can't remember the last time I DIDN'T do a snowball dance at a wedding. I merely offer the suggestions - making sure that they know that I do not come into it with an agenda - and they pick and choose what they want to do and 99.9% of the time, they go with a snowball. I love it!

Games do not have to be cheesy at all...it's all in the presentation.
 
I ask if they want anything as a ice breaker or some interaction. They ask like what. I tell them about some of the things, mostly MCSH and I would say at least 60% want something.
 
How I do the snowball dance is I usually use it to replace the wedding party dance. I have the wedding party out on the floor, play an upbeat song and about a minute into it, I make an announcement for the wedding party to go find a new dance partner from the crowd. I do this usually 2 times and it gets the party started.
 
I have for many years used the snowball dance at any function especially when kids are there - they love doing it...
 
Only been asked once or twice for a game. Personally, I hate doing them...makes me feel very cheesey.
