5. Croquet
Croquet is the type of sport you probably only play at weddings or other fancy events. This lawn game involves hitting balls with a mallet through target hoops in the grass. This elegant English game is a great way to keep things classy. But make sure you know which rules to play by because there are 6 different variations of croquet.
6. Boules
Despite its common association with the elderly crowds, Boules is an extremely fun game. This French garden game involves a round-by-round tournament of bowling the silver balls, or boules, to get as close to a target as possible. With the ability to hit your opponent’s ball away from the target, this game can become quite competitive. Lots of fun for those who like a game of one-up-manship.
7. Badminton
If you are having a summertime wedding badminton will be perfect for your wedding games. Opt for the ‘old school’ look of things and give the ‘net’ a vintage feel. Badminton is sure to attract some players and it might be the perfect icebreaker for sports lovers. 
8. The Shoe Game – For the Newlyweds
This is a great, entertaining game that the newlywed bride and groom can play at the reception. It is an easy-to-play and very entertaining game that shows how well the couple knows each other. Depending on how they answer, lots of laughs can be shared. HOW IT WORKS: The bride and groom sit in chairs, facing away from each other so that they can’t see what the other answers. Both have 2 shoes in their hands – 1 of the groom and 1 of the bride. A series of questions are asked about the couple and the bride and groom must raise a shoe to indicate who they think the correct answer is, e.g. “Who spends the most money?” Husband or Wife
