They then have to find their "Cinderella" and dance together. This game encourages people to get to know each other and gets everyone in the festive mood.

ideal for starting a conversation and getting to know each other while having fun.

4. Advice cards
It's not a game, but it will entertain your guests all the same. Hand out advice cards and pens to the guests. Each guest writes down wedding advice or wishes for the couple. Collect the cards in a decorative box or binder for the bride to take home as a keepsake.
