To Clink or Not To
Clink |

One wedding reception tradition is clinking the glassware to make the
bride and groom kiss. Many couples enjoy this tradition while others are
less than thrilled with it. For those who would prefer an alternative,
this article’s for you.
Demonstration Game If someone wants the bride and groom to kiss, they must first stand
up and plant a big kiss on someone else thus demonstrating the correct
way to kiss. After the demonstration, the bride and groom will follow
the example.
Golf Game Set up a small putting green at the reception. Before the bride and
groom will kiss, a guest must make a hole-in-one on the putting green.
You could even have three different places to try your luck from to add
more fun. The closest starting point to the hole would only require a
kiss on the hand, the middle distance would require a kiss on the cheek
and the starting point furthest back would be a kiss on the lips.
Question Game Before the bride and groom will kiss, the requestor must answer a
question about the happy couple. If the requestor answers correctly, the
couple will kiss. If not, the requestor must sit down. If the bride and
groom don’t want to have to kiss on demand very often they can make
the questions really hard or can have "penalties" for
incorrect answers. Example penalties could be do a hula-hoop for 30
seconds or dance to the YMCA by yourself for one minute.
Riddle Game If a person or table would like to have the bride and groom kiss, they
must answer a riddle asked by either the happy couple or by the emcee.
To indicate that someone wanted to answer a riddle, the person could use
a party noisemaker or could clink a glass.
Song Game To get the bride and groom to kiss a person or group of people would
have to sing a verse of a song with the word "love" in it.
Warning, this one can be hazardous to your ears!
Trivia Game This is the same as the Riddle Game except that instead of a riddle, the
guests must answer a trivia question.
Weakest Link Game This game is based on the TV show of the same name. To get the bride and
groom to kiss, everyone playing would have to get a string of 8 correct
answers. There would be no banking in this game. This game could be done
with individuals playing or could be done using whole tables to answer a
question. The questions could be trivia based on the couple or regular
trivia questions.
Who Wants to See a Million Dollar Kiss Game This game is based on the TV show "Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire". The whole reception plays at once. To answer a
question, everyone at a table must stand up and announce "We want
to play!" Then the emcee will ask a bride and groom trivia question
and give four possible answers. The table can talk amongst themselves to
come up with the answer. After answering the question, the table sits
down to give others in the room a chance to play. If the question is
answered correctly, the bride and groom kiss. The kisses could start out
at blowing kisses to each other and progress until the million dollar
kiss.
The three lifelines are available during this game and are very similar
to the show’s lifelines. The 50/50 takes away two wrong answers,
"poll the audience" gives everyone at the reception a chance
to indicate the correct answer using applause, and "ask a
friend" would be directed to the head table. Once a lifeline is
used, it is no longer available to any of the tables.
