    Hi all beautiful brides to be!

     I'm new here, so I apologize if I am repeating some old posts.  My fiance and I are getting married in Sweden and I am finding out that the typical Swedish receptions tend to be a little long.  My family and fiance and I are not the types to just sit around too long while eating, so I wanted to do some types of fun mingling games that guests can entertain themselves with either during the meal, or while they are waiting for us to take pictures and things like that. 

     The only things I have come up with so far is to do a guest scrapbook, where guests create a scrapbook page with a nice message for us and add it to our book (like a guest book but since I like scrapbooking so much).  The other thing I thought would be fun was to do a couple's trivia and hand out a sheet with questions about my fiance and I...

     Have any of you thought of using games or activities to keep your guests happy during the "slow" points?  Any ideas?  I would love to hear them!

    There are a few Indian wedding games I know of. One is the bride's sister's and bridesmaids steal the groom's shoes and hold them ransom, usually for a large amount of money. This may be a bit on the awkward side if none of your family has seen this type of game before.

    Another game I read about on WeddingBee is:

    Pillow Talk
    Regarding this game, the recently married couple is made to sit back to back. A pillow is held between them by a third person and then, both bride and groom are asked questions about each other. The answers to these questions are replied, not by speaking but by nodding the head. Providing ample of fun and laughter to everyone around, Pillow Talk checks the compatibility between the couple.
