Wedding Reception Games and Activities need to be an essential part of a planned long overnight wedding to keep your guests moving and involved.

Longer wedding receptions are becoming more popular, lasting well past midnight and into the early morning hours.Most couples will hold their actual wedding ceremony in the early evening and have the reception thereafter. I don't know if I would be able to last through one of these, it certainly makes for a long day and my husband and I were certainly bushed after our "regular" wedding reception, but if you want to do something out of the ordinary, plan one of these parties.
They go on through the whole night with maybe a breakfast planned for the guests who have stayed all night. In order to keep your guests active make sure that you use a lot of Dance Floor Activities and other Wedding Reception Games. Some of the games and activities you can play on the dance floor consist of snowball dances, song requests, participation type dances such as the "chicken dance", "macarena", "bunny hop" and "YMCA". Don't forget you can always employ a dance teacher to help get people up on the dance floor and don't forget they can always provide entertainment for your guests whose get up and go, got up and went! Other great games to keep your guests involved are having a snowball dance to fill the dance floor, playing a game of "Simon Says", and what about a limbo contest. There are a lot of different games you can play at your wedding reception. You can find some games to play at Printable Games AtoZ. They have great games you can immediately print for use. Check them out! Just make sure you have prizes to hand out to the winners or else they might be dissapointed.

For those who need a rest from your wedding reception games and activities, make sure that there is sufficient lounging areas with comfortable seating, or if you are having your reception in or near a hotel facility, why not rent a couple of rooms for the night so people can go for a rest.You can also provide some blow up mattresses for your guests who need to catch a few z's. And don't forget, a longer reception can also create bigger appetites. You might want to schedule some finger foods, etc. for you guests later on in the evening to keep strength up and your wedding reception active.
