Giant beat the buzzer game

"One point to consider as you plan is what your guests will be doing while you’re off having your photos taken. Having a selection of over size and fun games will not only give them something to do, but also act as a great ice-breaker getting the conversation flowing along with the drinks. Beat the Buzzer, bowling and a coconut shy are all great, and you can make a real feature out of the space, adding some seating and props to work with your theme.

"After spending endless nights deliberating over the seating plan there are bound to be some guests who won’t know each other. By having some games on the table or perhaps even a magician, you’ll get them all chatting."
