Games Games GAMES!

October 2nd, 2007 @ 9:32 am by Mrs. Gummi Bear

As I mentioned before, Mr. GB and I decided to avoid dancing altogether and go with have a picnic style lounge area and games. We’re recommending to all our friends and family to bring their handheld games. Since Mr. GB worked in the industry and I, for some reason, only know dorks and even more game industry folk, we’re expecting some serious wireless gaming. Bring your spare batteries people, we don’t want any dying systems and a “well, I totally woulda won…” bullshit. Just bring it. Bring it HARD.

For our guests who aren’t bringing their own gaming hardware because they suck… or are not game saavy and want to be turned onto the world of wireless gaming, the new fangled pong machines, or the glory that is loco roco…. we have extras. This is really just a symbol of what consumer whores we are, how easily suckered we are by the marketing term “limited edition” and how much pink is integrated into our lives.

Games Games GAMES! :  wedding reception san francisco 1469487 1469487

Ok, fine, if they really are unable to get into the idea of beeps and boops and lights on a screen, then we are having other more analog options:

We’ve got croquet, lawn bowling, and badminton… and for board games we picked up Cranium, Scrabble, Apples to Apples, Set, Chess, Checkers, Uno, Scattergories, and you know, some cards. I plan on thoroughly destroying Mr. GB in Scrabble like I always do, further ruining his manly image in front of all his family and friends. I like to set a good tone for our future together by beating him in all games.

Are there any game essentials we’re missing?

Catch Phrase is always so much fun! A group of about 6 people is the perfect size, but it works with huge groups too!

:)

I HEART you and your posts. Not in a creepy, I know where you live way and I know what you had for breakfast this morning…. I just wish we had gone through with what we had wanted to do for our wedding originally, which was somewhat similar to your plans. Can’t wait for pics :)

And by the way, your home is beautiful. Jealous, jealous I be…

If you like “Apples to Apples” and “Scattegories,” get “Wise and Otherwise”! Along those lines is the game “Malarky.”

I think Balderdash is really fun, especially for a group of friends that likes to bullsh*t each other, like mine :)

I also second the Boggle suggestion.

Another vote for Taboo! I love that game, and it’s really easy to understand the rules even if you’ve never played before.

Damn you, I’m so jealous. Mr. P, who loves to sit around playing Mario Kart, WoW, Guitar Hero, etc. and is otherwise a gaming whore is still, in other ways, a traditionalist and is doubtful about even letting me set up a Monopoly station at our Monopoly-themed wedding. He blows.

I’m a big fan of Cranium, myself. Or maybe in addition to handheld games, you could have some more group-friendly games, such as Wii Sports or Guitar Hero?

Awesome idea for a wedding, btw!

Ohmigawd I love my PSP!! I finally just got Toast so I can download shows from my Tivo. So I’ll be the dork with the giant noise-cancelling headphones watching Bridezillas on BART. =)

What about a game of cornhole (bean bag toss). Totally addicting and all ages can play!

We just found Curses. Very fun. Highly recommend it and it’s appropriate for all ages.
I cannot show my FI this post. He’ll want to set his own game area at the wedding and I want people to dance. Maybe for the RD…
Great idea!
