2. Wedding Bingo
Want to encourage mingling among your guests? Another wedding game ice breaker is Bingo. In this version, guests don’t sit and mark off a card as numbers are called.

When creating the cards, try to avoid being too generic with descriptions and think about unique clues to describe your guests. Here are some ideas:
- Birth months

- Tattoos
- Sports fan
- Odd talents
- Year born
