GARTER
 Blowing of balloons - each bachelor will be given a deflated balloon, and they will be given 10 seconds to blow of inflate it. After 10 seconds, the bachelor with the smallest balloon wins the game.

bring me:
ask the single men or women to bring items that are wedding related or hard to find such as:
 
* wedding invitation
* location map
* ceremony card
* picture of their future mother in law
* their own baby picture
* icing from the wedding cake (if cake has been sliced already)

Pre-arrange to have the groom put on the garter. Gather all the single men and announce that the garter toss is about to begin.

Have the groom act as though he will be revealing the garter on the bride. But have the bride and groom switch places! Play a sexy music as the groom begins to pull up his pant leg and hear the guests roar with laughter! Let the bride slowly take the garter off the groom.

 Tribute to the Best (for couples game)

Give a little something back to your guests at the wedding reception. This is a fun way to start the evening off and helps to warm up them up for the more interactive wedding games to come as the night progresses.

To celebrate the beginning of your new journey with your husband, why not celebrate the triumphs and 'bests' of your guests? Have your MC announce a "Tribute to the Best"! Give a lavish gift to the couple that has been married the longest (is that not inspiring?), the most loving couple, the most active couple, and any other couples you admire.

Fancy twist: During this segment of the night, why not also pay a special tribute to both sets of parents with a little video montage of their lives?

Counting For Flowers

Rather than tossing your bouquet, set up a jar of marbles in colors that match your wedding reception decor. Make an announcement during speech time that each unmarried female attendee must guess how many marbles are in the jar. The guests should write down their answers on their name placement cards. Near the end of the evening, enlist in the help of your maid of honor to collect the answers and determine the winner. You can then go and personally present her with the bouquet.

Wedding Garter Relay

Place a chair a few yards away from the participants. Have the men flip a coin to see which will go first.

The coin-toss winner then selects one of the men to sit on the chair while the rest forms a line. At the sound of a whistle or other signal, the one in line dashes to the man in the chair, with the bride's garter in his hands. He hurries to place the garter on the calf of the seated man. The two then switch places, and the garter-wearer runs to the line, quickly removes the garter, hands it to the next man in line and goes to the back of the line.

The new holder of the garter runs to the man in the chair and places it on the sitter's leg, and the game continues in this fashion. Who ever is wearing or holding the garter when the music stops is eliminated from the group. The last one standing will be the lucky guy.

Wedding reception games can add the perfect element of fun to your celebration. When selecting wedding reception games, be sure to take into consideration the age and health of your guests, allowance for raciness, and family traditions (these can be changed slightly into hilarious reception games). Your guests are sure to talk about your wedding reception for years to come.

For couples:
On shirts and lipsticks
Provide white shirts for the guys. Give their partners lipsticks. Tapos ayun padamihan ng kiss
mark sa shirt! Winning (or losing?!) couple will gets the bouquet and garter.

Pins and blindfolds.
Blindfold the women, then place 15 (or as many as you want) safetypins all over the guy. At the signal or start of the music, the women starts to look for the safety pins at their partner's body.  Then first couple who gets all the safety pins wins or the couple who gets the most safety pins wins at the end of the music.

 Another alternative to the bouquet and garter toss idea, is first have your new husband remove your garter, then call all the single men and women up to the dance floor. Have the men take a number and a chair, of course being all gentlemen they have to hold the chair for the ladies.

Choose a tune that best fits the occassion, start playing the music. When the music stops, the single women who don't have a seat have to leave the dance floor, and a number is pulled for one of the single guys to leave, and so on. Who ever the last single man and women are left they receive the bouquet and garter.

Garter toss

 Scarves game - the bachelors will be asked to form a circle and will be given 2 different colored scarves. (Ex. blue and white) the blue scarf will be given to a bachelor and the white scarf will be given to the bachelor right across him. The bachelors will be asked to tie the blue scarf once around his neck, and the white scarf will be tied twice. At one point in the game, the 2 scarves will meet. The bachelor who has both scarves around his neck is the winner.

garter toss

Limbo rock - same mechanics as the traditional limbo rock but the first bachelor who drops to his knees or touches the limbo stick is the winner.

garter toss
 
Garter basketball - the groom will be asked to throw the garter, but the bachelor who catches it is out of the game until one bachelor is left.
