The seven games
What is in the games bundle?
The games bundle holds seven printable games in your design: a couple crossword, reception bingo, wedding mad libs, the shoe game, a word search, an I spy photo hunt and kids coloring pages. Each game reads your names and date from the same backup file as your suite. Every game fills a whole sheet.
| Game | Pages | What you edit |
|---|---|---|
| Couple crossword | Puzzle and answer key | 8 to 15 answers about the two of you, each with a clue; the personalizer builds the grid and the key, and another layout number gives another grid. The blank PDF is a ready-to-play crossword of wedding words. |
| Reception bingo | 10 to 200 different cards and a caller’s checklist | Your heading and squares (24 to 80, one per line; a list of 40 is filled in). Every card is different and has a free centre. |
| Wedding mad libs | A love story and advice for the newlyweds | Write both texts; every word in square brackets becomes a blank with a small label under the line. |
| Shoe game | A host question card and a name sign for each partner | 5 to 30 questions (20 are filled in) and how-to-play text; the signs show your first names, never “bride” or “groom”. |
| Word search | Puzzle and answer key | 6 to 24 words (your first names can be added), all 8 directions or an easy grid. |
| I spy photo hunt | 1 page | 6 to 24 moments for guests to photograph, plus your hashtag. |
| Kids coloring pages | 2 to 4 pages | A wedding cake, a bouquet, two swans and a toast: simple line drawings in your palette color. |
Print at Actual size (100%) on plain paper or light card. Glue the shoe-game signs to card and a stick if you like.

FAQ
Questions couples ask
What are good games to play at weddings?
Good wedding games are ones guests can play at the table without a host. A crossword or word search about the couple works well, and so does bingo during the speeches. The shoe game is a favorite for the couple themselves.
How to keep guests entertained at a wedding?
Put something on the tables for the quiet moments between courses. A game sheet and a pencil per guest works, with coloring pages for children.
How can we play I Spy?
Each guest gets the list of moments, such as a toast, the first dance or a grandparent laughing. Guests photograph them during the evening, then share the photos under your hashtag.
How do you play wedding bingo?
Each guest gets a different bingo card with wedding moments or words. When a square happens or is called, they mark it, and the first full line wins. Our bingo makes up to 200 different cards with a caller’s checklist.
How do you play the shoe game?
The couple sit back to back, each holding one of their own shoes and one of their partner’s. A host reads questions such as “Who is the better cook?”, and each raises the shoe of the person they mean. Our shoe game has 20 questions filled in and name signs for both of you.
What are some fun games I can print and play?
Crosswords, word searches, bingo and mad libs all print on one sheet and need only a pencil. Our seven games print on whole US Letter or A4 sheets, personalized with your names.
