Outdoor wedding lawn games are a killer way to keep kids and kids-at-heart busy at a reception. They're even more rad at a no dancing reception. Take advantage of a good season and some outdoor space for badminton, ring toss, corn hole, and giant versions of your favorite nostalgic games like Jenga and 4-to-Score. Plus, it'll get your indoor gaming friends out into familiar territory.
Let's get to the games!
Rustic wooden cornhole
You can even get JTBsWoodWorks to add custom logos, cupholders, and scoreboards! (Our own editor Megan is using these for her wedding lawn games.) Or you can even add LED lights to your rustic wooden cornhole boards…
LED cornhole(!)
Comes in four colors (blue, red, green, or white)! Nighttime receptions will look so rad. You can even get cornhole bags in custom colors to match your theme.
Giant Jenga (with custom names!)
Ring Toss Game
Giant 4-to-Score
Bocce Ball
Lawn bowling
Giant Inflatable Bowling Set
Or how about inflatables that look like real bowling pins?
Lawn Yahtzee
Giant Dice Game
More dice, less problems, I always say.
Yazoo Disc Toss Game
In Yazoo, players attempt to knock bottles or cans from perches on vertical poles. Watch for heads!
Spikeball
This game was a Shark Tank darling. The object is to bounce a ball onto a trampoline-style net. Probably won't hold people… fair warning.
Croquet
If you're feeling fancy!
Kubb
The object is to knock over wooden blocks, known as kubbs, by throwing wooden batons at them, known as “haselsticks.” Like bowling meets horseshoes!
Molkky
The players use a wooden pin (also called “mölkky”) to try to knock over wooden pins (also called “skittles”) of almost similar dimensions with the throwing pin, which are marked with numbers from 1 to 12.
Lawn Darts
The MUCH safer version from the ones that were banned when we were kids.
Rubber horseshoes
Air Scoop Ball
And a custom sign to get everyone to the game area!
