Ask Maggie: Lawn Games For Backyard Wedding

RWC Reader: I am planning a backyard style wedding at my parent’s home for next summer and I am really taken with the idea of having lawn games for our guests to play. I have seen several real weddings on Rustic Wedding Chic that have lawn games and I was just wondering if you could suggest a few games that you might be fun.

The current trend of offering guests some fun lawn games to play is one that I think is awesome. Many times there is a lag between the ceremony and the reception know as cocktail hour. This “hour” allows for the bride & groom and the wedding party to get their pictures taken but after the guest have gotten a drink and little bit to eat they often are looking for something to do, eneter lawn games! There really is no rules on what lawn games work better at a wedding than another it really comes down to what sort of space you have available to you. Below are a few suggestions for games that might work for your backyard style wedding.

Badminton

Corn Hole or Baggo

If you really like the idea of getting a corn hole set you can either take on building one yourself or head over to Esty and find one you like and get it personalized for the big day.
