Every wedding is special, but let's make your wedding the event they talk about for years!
If you're looking for a thrilling, strategy-filled experience where deception, cunning, and teamwork collide, then Wedding Crashers is the perfect game to elevate your bridal shower, bachelor party, or any wedding celebration.
This isn't your average wedding party game! If you know the TV show Traitors, you already know how to play this game!
Wedding Crashers is a fun, immersive mingle experience where players compete, eliminate, and deceive to become the last ones standing by finding out who are the honored guests and who are the wedding crashers!
As the Host, your role is crucial in keeping the event flowing smoothly, setting the mood, and delivering an unforgettable experience. From customizing your game setup to challenges, decorations, and themed food & drinks, this guide will walk you through everything you need to host an EPIC Wedding Crashers party.
What is Wedding Crashers?
Imagine bringing the excitement of a reality game show to your wedding celebration! Wedding Crashers is a mingle-style competition that blends strategy, teamwork, and deception with a wedding twist. It's an interactive, movement-based game where players form alliances, complete challenges, and eliminate threats, all while trying to figure out who the Wedding Crashers are before it's too late.
The Wedding Guests work together to identify and eliminate the Wedding Crashers, while the Crashers work to deceive and outlast everyone else. It's a battle of wit, persuasion, and betrayal, making it one of the most exciting and unique games you'll ever play at a wedding event!
How is Wedding Crashers Played?
Here's a quick breakdown of how the game unfolds (If you have watched the TV show Traitors, you already know how to play this game)
Role Assignment: Players receive a secret role, either Wedding Guest or Wedding Crasher. The Host knows who the Crashers are but keeps it secret from other players.
Mingle & Strategy: Players interact, form alliances, and begin making accusations about who doesn't belong at this wedding.
Challenges & Competitions: Players compete in wedding-themed challenges to earn shields (RSVP NO) and power-ups like VIP PASS and PLUS ONE.
Reception Table Elimination: Players discuss and vote out someone they suspect is a Wedding Crasher.
Bouncer Phase: The Wedding Crashers secretly "remove" a Wedding Guest from the party, eliminating them from the game.
Repeat Until the Final Decision: The game continues until only a few players remain. If the Wedding Guests successfully eliminate all Crashers, they win. If any Crashers remain, they claim victory!
The key to victory? Observation, persuasion, and social strategy.
Why Play Wedding Crashers at Your Wedding Event?
If you're tired of the same old bridal shower games or want to add excitement to your bachelor party, or weekend wedding events, Wedding Crashers will be an instant hit. Here's why:
Interactive & Social: Guests aren't stuck sitting around playing boring shower games. They're actively mingling, forming alliances, and competing in a dynamic experience.
Perfect for Any Wedding Event: Whether it's a bridal shower, bachelor party, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, or even a post-wedding brunch, Wedding Crashers fits seamlessly into your celebration.
Full of Suspense: With secret eliminations, accusations, and twists, every round keeps players on edge and entertained.
Handles Last-Minute Changes: Guest count changed? No problem! Wedding Crashers is incredibly adaptable. Whether someone cancels or unexpected guests show up, the game adjusts instantly to accommodate 6 to 20+ players.
Fully Customizable: Want to personalize the game with inside jokes about the bride and groom? Need to adjust the length to fit your schedule? Wedding Crashers can be customized to make your event truly unique and memorable.
Unpredictable & Replayable: No two games play the same. Your friends will be talking about this for years and begging for a rematch at the next wedding!
Ways to Customize Wedding Crashers
Want to add a personal touch to your Wedding Crashers game? Here are some creative ways to customize the experience:
Role Assignment Options: You can pre-assign guests their roles, have them blindly pick right before the game begins, or blindfold everyone and tap them on the shoulder to start the game mysteriously.
Flexible Timing: The host can alter the timing of every phase in every round, as needed. If a game needs more time, or less, or if the players need more Round Table time, you have complete control. A game can last anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on your event schedule.
Personalization: Incorporate details about the bride and groom, add inside jokes, or create custom challenges that reflect the couple's love story.
Recruitment: In some games, the host may want to implement the Recruitment card for an extra twist.
Custom Challenges: The host can pick ANY challenge that works for their group and fits the wedding theme!
