14 Creative Engagement Party Activities and Game Ideas For Your Big Celebration

Searching for the perfect engagement party games? We’ve got you covered! An engagement party is a couple’s first big celebration after saying “yes” to forever, marking the start of their journey to the big day in style. It’s an event meant to be lighthearted, entertaining, and a joyful reflection of everything that makes the couple unique. With such a special occasion, it’s important to create an unforgettable experience that guests will cherish for years to come.

To keep the spotlight on the couple and ensure your guests are fully engaged, consider incorporating interactive activities and games into the celebration. That’s why we’ve curated a list of the best engagement party games to spark fun and connection! From Bridal Bingo to Engagement Party Jeopardy, these entertaining options guarantee a memorable time for everyone.

1. Break the ice

An engagement party is often the first-time friends and family from both sides of a couple come together. One of the best ways to encourage guests (who may not know each other) to mingle and become acquainted is to play this fun and lighthearted “What’s on Your Phone?” icebreaker game. 

2. “Find the Groom” scratcher tickets

Who doesn’t love the thrill of a scratch-off ticket? Your engagement party guests will have a blast searching for the groom with these funny customizable “Find the Groom” lottery tickets! Activities like this are a great way to give the engagement party an extra comedic edge.

3. Make a “bucket list” for the couple

Let’s face it, everybody has a word of wisdom or suggestion for every new couple. So why not make an activity out of it? Set up a bucket and leave tags where party guests can write down a little note for the couple to read together at the end of the night.

4. “Who Knows the Couple Best”

There’s always some level of competition among guests to determine who is closest to the newly engaged couple. If you want to find out for sure, incorporate a little couple trivia into your engagement party games—just be sure to supply some fun prizes for the winner.

5. Cornhole (with custom boards)

Do the couple or guests love playing cornhole at parties? Then take things to the next level with customized cornhole boards to play at the engagement party. They also make amazing engagement gift ideas if you’re party planning on behalf of the couple. Not only will they spur some friendly competition, but they’ll be an item that commemorates the special day for years to come!

6. Bridal bingo

If you’re looking for an engagement party game that’s simple to set up and blast to play, look no further than bridal bingo! Design bingo cards with well-known wedding symbols instead of numbers and see who shouts “Bingo!” first. Engagement rings, flowers, wedding cakes, garters, wedding dresses, and tuxedos all make great card images. 

7. “Don’t Say Bride”

Looking to give your guests a silly challenge that will deliver lots of laughs? Organize this hilarious game where each guest starts with a plastic ring. Everyone is encouraged to take the ring from anyone who says “bride”. Whoever has the most rings at the end of the party wins!

8. “He Said, She Said”

A fun way to see how well the guests know the couple is with a game of “he said, she said.” In this activity, guests will try to guess how the bride and groom answered particular questions, some of which may be a little revealing!

9. Wedding Mad-Libs

If you’ve never played Mad-Libs before, it’s a hilarious game where you fill in the blanks of a story that you know nothing about—often with side-splitting results. Pass out “Wed-Libs,” and then let your guests tell the most ridiculous engagement stories anyone’s ever heard.

10. What is, bridal Jeopardy?

Who doesn’t love the famous TV quiz show, Jeopardy? After decades on the air, the show has perfected the quiz format and is a ton of fun to recreate. Organize some questions about the bride and groom of varying difficulty, then split the guests up into teams and get the classic Jeopardy music going.

11. “Where in the World are They?”

Does the couple have hundreds of photos of the amazing places they’ve traveled to? If so, “Where In The World Are They?” is the perfect engagement party game for couples who love to travel. In this activity, guests will try to guess the setting of each pic using only the photo as their clue. This game is a great way to show off the timeline of a relationship and share all the best memories of the couple’s time together so far.

12. Celebrity couple trivia

Planning an engagement party with some pop culture lovers on the guest list? This celebrity couple matching game is a fun way to spark some heated discussions about everybody’s favorite famous pairings. Brangelina? Bennifer? Kimye? How many can people come up with?

13. Wedding Scattergories

Scattergories is a fan-favorite game where people try to write down as many ideas as possible in a category, scoring points for each unique answer. This game of wedding Scattergories ties in the “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” theme, making it a perfect activity for any engagement party.

14. The wedding shoe game

The wedding shoe game is a classic for a reason. This game reveals playful truths about the couple by having them lift their shoes above their heads, so don’t leave this one out of your planning!
