Crossword Love!

A little while ago Emily at oncewed posted the cutest crowd-entertainer for a wedding: a huge love-themed word search!

This seems like such a wonderful way to include your guests in some ice-breaker activities. It reminded me of a scene from Dan in Real Life where the family is gathered together at their summer home. The new girlfriend (or fiancée? ) is getting to know the family throughout the week, and lucky her - they love family activities!

In the scene I’m referring to, someone brings home two copies of the newspaper, specifically for the crossword game! They fraction into guys vs girls, and it grows into the most adorably supportive family competition I’ve ever seen! I’d love to include a crossword competition into the wedding day, or maybe the day before - it’s such a wonderful way to get to know new people. Plus, it’s a great way to share with our families a hobby (or vice? ) Mr. Cubbie and I share daily!

Games can be a great way to create a joyous family atmosphere at a wedding! How are you planning to get new (and old! ) family members acquainted at your wedding?

You’re a better woman than I am… I’m not sure I could ever share my crossword, not even with Mr. Y! :o)

I loved Dan In Real Life! I would love to do a crossword puzzle, but my fiance’s cousin just got married in December and they had copies of a crossword at every place setting for people to do. It was actually the crossword puzzle that his cousins husband used to propose. It was very sweet!

I’m an Alex Trebek freak, so we are going to do some kind of Jeopardy style game. Our amazing DJ is going to help us put it together.

BTW… Dan In Real Life is one of my favorites! Especially the talent show scene!

Since neither I nor fiance like dancing and drinking too much, we’re planning a low-key family-reuinion-type reception. We going to set up outside games (cornhole, basketball), board games, and whatever other fun things we can think of.

We’re making a crossword puzzle to put in our Welcome Bags. Since it’s a destination wedding, everyone will get one. All the crossword clues will be about our wedding guests - each person in attendance will have at least one clue about them (i.e. dog’s name, college attended, etc.). We figured this was a good way to get people interested in the other guests and get them mingling and talking at all the wedding-related events throughout the weekend.
