Wedding reception bingo
A table game for guests, and a lifesaver for the kids' table. Squares are moments that happen at most receptions.
About these wedding reception bingo cards
Reception bingo keeps guests engaged through the gaps between dinner, speeches and dancing. Place one card and a small pencil at each setting, and guests mark moments as they happen.
At the kids' table, it is one of the best ways to keep young guests busy. Trim the list to things kids can spot, like Cake cutting, Flower girl and Bubbles, and choose a 4x4 card.

Ways to play
Place-setting cards
Print 1 card per page on card stock and put one at each seat. Guests pick it up and start playing on their own.
Kids' table edition
A 4x4 card with simpler words keeps kids watching the reception instead of their phones.
Personalize it
Add squares only your guests will get, like the couple's dog making an appearance or a groomsman's famous dance move.
Questions
Who calls the words?
Nobody. Guests mark squares when the moment happens during the reception.
Does it work with a dry wedding?
Yes. Delete Champagne and Signature cocktail from the list and add your own squares.
Can I add the couple's names?
Yes. Change the card title and it prints on every card.
