So you asked your parents and they think having a simple antakshari game is a great activity for your wedding because it is an Indian traditional wedding game! Um, maybe not. New wedding games are important because chances are that the party is an intimate one, and a lot of the people don't really know each other, especially from the two sides. Since there's a lot of mingling involved within the guests at a destination wedding, we thought we'd come up with a list of quirky destination wedding games to make the job of breaking the ice easier.
Of course, there are always pool parties and karaoke, but how about you up the game with these super fun outdoor activities as well? If you've roped in a wedding planner, it's going to be super easy to organize these, otherwise, a lot of these are not tough to do it yourself!

An all-time favorite with the youngsters, the fun wedding game twister can also be played outdoors for a great family time during wedding! You have to dance while the music plays, and when it stops, everyone has to put their hands and feet on the colours called out, and thanks to the shortage of colored circles, people have to bend and touch in awkward positions! A good game to play cupid between couples and people who like each other *winks-winks*!
