Gone are the days when garden games were reserved for children at school summer fetes. Brides and grooms are choosing to include garden games in their big day more and more, especially if their nuptials are planned for the Spring or Summer. As country house, barn and outdoor wedding venues<\/a> continue to gain popularity, more couples have the luxury of outdoor space. Some use it simply for photographs, but we\u2019re taking inspiration from many of our real brides and grooms to show you six of our favourite quirky garden games.<\/span><\/p>\n

We think they are some of the best ways to make the most of your spacious surroundings and to make your reception as fun as possible for as many people as possible, adults and children alike!<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone loves the chance to hit the pi\u00f1ata and nab the goodies inside! It might not be your first thought when it comes to garden games, but it will definitely be remembered.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take a trip down memory lane\u00a0and enjoy the nostalgia of old school sport\u2019s day activities. This sack race is the perfect option for a group of groomsmen and will make for some hilarious photos.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve chosen a country wedding venue<\/a>, you can\u2019t miss this one. Match your wellies to your reception colours or choose classic ivory to give welly hurling\u00a0a little wedding flair.<\/span><\/p>\n

If there\u2019s one thing we\u2019ve seen a lot of in real weddings recently, it\u2019s space hoppers! It turns out that adults, often egged on by guests and a few glasses of fizz, love the chance to be a child again, racing each other on space hoppers. This includes suitable dresses ladies (and brides!), too!<\/span><\/p>\n

No quintessentially English or traditional wedding is complete without a spot of croquet on the lawn. It\u2019s a great ice breaker for guests who don\u2019t yet know each other and can be enjoyed by grown-ups and children alike.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sixth on our list of oh-so awesome garden games is table football. While it may be pictured inside a marquee here, you could definitely take the table outside, so we think it definitely still counts. Bring out the competitive side in your guests with a quick game between the ceremony and the wedding breakfast.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
