Planning tips

Running icebreakers that people enjoy

Use them early

Icebreakers work best in the first half hour, while guests are arriving and before the dancing starts. Have one ready at the door or on the tables so people have something to talk about straight away.

Mix the groups

Pair people who don't know each other, such as family from one side and friends from another. Simple team games with three or four players help shy guests join in without being put on the spot.

Keep it optional

Nobody should feel forced to perform. Choose games where people can play quietly at their table as well as ones for the brave, and keep small prizes ready for winners. For printed cards, try the party games card maker.

Tim’s tip

Run games early in the evening, before the dancefloor gets going, and keep each one short. A game that drags pulls people off the floor rather than onto it.
