Whether you’re planning a vibrant Hindu, Muslim, or Sikh wedding or blending cultures into one unforgettable weekend, games help break the ice, bring families together, and keep guests entertained.

If you’re looking for an outdoor wedding venue in Surrey, Froyle Park offers the perfect setting — with spacious gardens, lawns, and a private terrace ideal for these interactive moments.

Here are 7 fun and meaningful Asian wedding reception games to consider for your big day.

7 Asian Wedding Reception Games, ideal for cultural wedding celebrations at Froyle Park

1. Joota Chupai – Hiding the Groom’s Shoes
A favourite at Indian and Pakistani weddings, the bride’s family hides the groom’s shoes during the ceremony and demands a “ransom” to return them. The resulting mischief is a great icebreaker and adds humour to the day.

2. Find the Ring (Aayena Game)
Played in many Muslim and Hindu weddings, this post-ceremony tradition sees the couple search for a ring hidden in milk or petals. Whoever finds it first is said to “rule the marriage”! It’s symbolic, sweet, and easy to play outdoors.

3. Tug of War: Bride’s Side vs Groom’s Side
A high-energy game perfect for wedding venues with lawns, this family face-off always gets guests cheering. Froyle Park’s south lawn is ideal for this kind of spirited, intergenerational fun — just add music and a few good sports.

4. Antakshari – The Singing Face-Off
A beloved tradition at Indian receptions, Antakshari involves two sides singing Bollywood hits, each starting with the last syllable of the previous song. It’s nostalgic, competitive, and a fantastic way to get the elders involved.

5. Coconut Bowling (Desi Garden Game)
Inspired by Sri Lankan and Indian village weddings, coconut bowling is a whimsical lawn game using coconuts to knock over decorative pins. It’s ideal for wedding venues with gardens and perfect for all ages.

6. Musical Chairs – Generations Edition
Add cultural music, mix the generations, and let the games begin. Musical chairs is easy to organise on a lawn or terrace, and always results in laughter and memorable moments.

7. Dance-Off: Elders vs Youngsters
Whether it’s Bhangra, Bollywood, or Afro-Caribbean beats, a family dance-off is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. It works well indoors or outside, and creates golden hour photo opportunities you’ll never forget.

8. Mehndi Treasure Hunt (Family Teams Edition)
A fun, creative game especially popular at South Asian weddings, the Mehndi (or Sangeet) Treasure Hunt gets both families involved in friendly competition. Create culturally themed clues or use items like bangles, bindis, or small figurines hidden around the gardens or terrace. Divide guests into bride’s side vs groom’s side, or elders vs youngsters. The first team to complete the hunt wins a prize — or bragging rights!
