Scavenger Hunt

Bouquet Toss Alternative

Scavenger Hunt game for weddings

In all my years of DJ'ing at weddings, this game definitely stands out for me as one of the best ways to get crowd interaction during a reception. The DJ recommends performing this activity before the dance floor opens.

Instead of the traditional garter or bouquet toss, consider hosting a scavenger hunt elimination game at your wedding reception.

This wedding scavenger hunt got WILD. Guests were running like it was the Hunger Games! Would you play this at your wedding?

HOW IT WORKS

The MC announces game rules. Participants locate items from a provided list—some personal belongings, others found around the venue. The twist: the last person returning an item (or without it) gets eliminated each round. New items are introduced for successive rounds until one winner remains, who receives the bouquet.

This game is a great way to get your guests laughing, interacting, and having a great time. The DJ suggests varying item difficulty to maintain engagement and entertainment value.
