Alternatives to Clinking Glasses to get the bride & Groom to kiss
1.) The Love Game; in order for the bride & groom to kiss, everyone sitting at a table must stand
up & sing a line or verse of a song with the word love in it.
2.) guests would stand & recite a clean joke to be enjoyed by all
3.) Donations: guests would be required to make a donation to the bride & grooms charity of choice
4.) improv: tie a balloon to each chair, or have a few balloons on each table, each with a message
inside. in order for the bride & groom to kiss, a balloon must be broken, & the instructions in the
message must be followed. for example, the message might say "tell a joke" or tell us a memory you
have of either the bride or groom from childhood, etc.
5.) deflection: write all the names of all the couples attending on slips of paper. then either put
them in a bowl at the head table, or put them in balloons located at each individual table. when the
guests clink, either a balloon is popped, or a slip of paper drawn from the head table (depending on
the version you have chosen) the couple named on the slip of paper must kiss.
6.) Bride & Groom trivia: the bride & groom write 20-30 questions & answers on slips of paper & hand
them to the emcee. when the guests clink, the emcee reads one of the questions. this is a great one
from a control perspective, because when the emcee initially announces the game, the audience is told
that immediate family are prohibited from answering the questions. once the bride & groom have had a
chance to sit down & relax, & enjoy there meal, the emcee can announce" while the immediate family is
prohibited from answering the questions, I never said they couldn't clink the glasses. then the
activity really heats up. but the bride & groom are together visiting with their friends & family so
they are less likely to be disturbed & more likely to be flatered at that point. |
