Harry Potter Wedding Entertainment and Games
By Gary Pope
Once the vows are done, the party decides what your guests remember. Giant chess, mad libs, a snitch piñata, and a wands-to-the-sky exit: here is how to keep every Potterhead entertained.
Harry Potter Entertainment
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!
Oops sorry wrong hobby, but I just LOVEEE talking about fun ways to incorporate geeky hobbies into your entertainment. From games to play to the drinks you'll drink, we'll cover all of those things below!
Giant Chess
Keep the Potterheads busy solving a life-like Chess game simulating the scene from the series Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Your strategic friends and family will have a lot of fun playing this game, and it will also allow them to test their ability to remain sane after a few cocktails.
This exact set will cost you around $450!
Mad Libs
Stack up templates in the center of every table in your wedding reception to allow your guests to write their version of your love story. Try adding some blank spaces on your wedding invitation for them to write upon if you don't want to see stacks of papers on the tables!
Wand-up Game
A game where couples have to prove how well they know each other is one of the most popular games at weddings today that entertains both guests and newlyweds. It is a very easy game where the couple only has to raise the wands in their hands instead of shouting. When the question is asked they should raise the wand, representing the person described in the question.
Pinata
A snitch piñata is another way to entertain your Potterhead guests. Hang it in the center and it serves as an attention seeker waiting for its keeper. Stuff it with candies and enjoy!
Custom Temporary Tattoos
Kids and adults can have so much fun with temporary tattoos. The wedding party doesn't have to have all the fun with getting death marks and tattoos! Open it up to everyone!
A Wizard-Friendly Exit
End the night by raising your sparklers as wands to the sky. Having your friends and family gathered around you for the ceremony will make beautiful wedding photography as the sparkles shine above you.
Well, not all venues allow sparklers and fire. So, to give you a graceful exit at your wedding ceremony, you can ask your bridesmaids and groomsmen to raise their wands to the sky - truly, a Dumbledore-approved!
