The main goal of a Jack and Jill party is to make a nice profit for the upcoming wedding celebrations. Raffles, cocktails, and good food are usually the norm, but you’ll need some cool games throughout the night to keep the party going. So I decided to list a couple of great game ideas that you can try at your next Jack and Jill party.
Have you ever heard of the game “say my name, say my name”? Let me explain the rules. First, you’ll need to pin each participant with a clothes pin and make them swear not to say the bride or groom for the whole night. If you think those rules are too hard, you can choose a name that will be allowed, either the groom’s or the bride’s, it makes no difference. Every time someone says the name of one or the other member of the couple, he loses his pin to the first one who catches it. At the end of the evening, the person with the most pins wins a prize of their choice.
Another cool game that you can try with your guests is the “Project runway” game. This is a great game to get everyone familiar with. Divide the teams into groups of 3 or 5 and ask each team to choose someone to be their ‘model’. Try to choose people who are not necessarily close to each other so that you can get to know each other better. Give each team a roll of toilet paper and a set of paper clips. Now each team has to create the best wedding dress possible out of toilet paper and paper clips in 5 minutes or less. Be sure to place each team in separate corners or rooms so they don’t spy on each other. When all teams have finished, ask the bride to judge her “creations.” Whoever gets the best score wins.
Games are essential to create a sense of bonding among guests and bring people together. Do not overdo the game, as it can disrupt the rhythm of the party. Using Jack and Jill party games to entertain your guests will ensure that everyone has a great time together. So good luck and I’m sure your Jack and Jill will be a success!
