Weddings are all about connection, laughter, and memories. Outdoor games are a perfect way to get guests mingling, breaking the ice, and having fun between ceremonies, drinks, and dinner.
The right games suit all ages, are visually appealing, and can even double as conversation starters. The best part? Most of our games can be customised for your wedding, giving a personalised touch that guests will remember for years.
Outdoor games aren’t just entertainment, they shape the flow of your event, keep guests engaged during cocktail hours or downtime, and create shared moments that are genuinely memorable.
Cornhole: Casual Competition Meets Custom Fun
Cornhole is a wedding favourite because it’s simple to learn but fun to master. Guests can compete casually with one board or get competitive with two in a mini-tournament. For extra engagement, couples can organise table vs table matches or a leaderboard for prizes making it a social hub during cocktail hour.
Why Cornhole works at weddings:
• Simple rules that everyone can understand, from kids to grandparents
• Flexible gameplay, casual tosses or competitive matches
• Portable boards suit indoor and outdoor venues
• Encourages laughter and friendly rivalry naturally
Want to make it extra special? We offer wedding design Cornhole boards featuring your names and wedding date. You can also create your own design, making your game unique to your wedding. Custom Cornhole boards double as décor and memorable keepsakes for guests.
Pro tip: Position Cornhole near the drinks or garden path for maximum guest interaction without disrupting ceremony flow. It’s also a fantastic way to keep kids entertained during adult-focused parts of the day.
Backyard Chats Tumbling Tower: Icebreakers Made Fun
Backyard Chats takes the classic giant Tumbling Tower and adds a social twist. Each block contains conversation starters or “Would you rather?” style questions to spark interaction among guests who haven’t met yet.
Why it works:
• Sparks meaningful conversations and laughter
• Suitable for all ages, everyone can play
• Adds a playful, interactive element to your reception
Couples can also add their own personalised questions, from fun wedding-themed prompts to trivia about the bride and groom. This creates a bespoke experience for guests and keeps the game fresh throughout the event.
Setup tip: Place the Tumbling Tower on a flat surface in a shaded area or on the patio to prevent blocks from rolling away. Guests naturally gravitate towards it, making it a perfect icebreaker.
Giant Connect Four and Skittles: Visual Fun for All Ages
Giant Connect Four and Skittles are both visual, easy to play, and highly social. Guests can challenge each other, take turns, or watch others play while enjoying drinks and canapés.
Benefits for weddings:
• Eye-catching and photogenic for event photography

• Icebreakers: Games encourage mingling and conversation, especially between tables or family groups that don’t know each other.
• Filling downtime: While waiting for speeches, dinner courses, or photo sessions, games keep energy high and prevent awkward pauses.
