Every great wedding has a lively dance floor, and dancing the night away with dear friends and long-lost relatives is often one of the best parts of saying “I do.” But what about guests who don’t want to dance — or aren’t able to? How can they have all-night fun at your wedding?
We have a few suggestions below for ways to keep your guests entertained all night — and reminiscing about the BEST. WEDDING. EVER. long into the future.
1. Have board games scattered throughout the room
This is a fun option to offer alongside traditional dancing entertainment: Guests can take a spin on the dance floor, then relax for a game of Chutes & Ladders, and non-dancers can make the rounds playing every game at the reception.

2. Send your guests on a scavenger hunt
They'll learn more about you — and each other! Place a game card at each guest’s reception seat, and watch conversation flow. Even better, design a photo scavenger hunt and give guests a list of pictures to snap at your reception.

5. Indulge in lawn games
If you’re having a daytime wedding, set up volleyball, badminton and tennis on a big lawn, and be sure your dress code is casual.

Have a Monte Carlo-themed wedding and gamble (not for real, of course!) with your friends and family.

7. Have a dance-off
Bring out every guest’s inner child with a room full of video games! Choose interactive games, such as Guitar Hero, Just Dance, and Rock Band, and guests of all ages will have a great time.
