Ice Breakers Needed for Families to Meet

We all went to dinner together

Hey Elizabeth!! How exciting for your two families to be meeting for the first time! What are you planning on doing for this get-together? Will you be doing an activity, going to dinner or hanging out at home?

Ours met for the first time after we got engaged, been dating for 8.5 years. We just all went to dinner. I sent out invitations and everything and called it our Engagement Dinner Celebration. It went well. Our families are very different but everyone talked. We didn't really need games or anything.

No idea, yet, we'll see who's arriving when since everyone is on different flights and arriving at different times!

Thank you for the idea! Some of our guests are flying in the day before our ceremony and reception; others prior to. We're not making any pre-wedding events mandatory-- we understand that everyone has work, family, and life responsibilities. We'll develop fun activities when we know what our guests travel plans are so that no one feels like they need to attend everything if they are unable to.

We don't know, yet, depends on how travel plans for everyone develops. We're not making any pre-wedding event mandatory-- everyone has a life, work, etc.

Well whatever you decide to do, I bet everyone will have a great time! Have you some ideas of what you would like to do?

Possibly winging it, lol. We're assembling favors one evening, having a tea ceremony with my family and FH, and other activities are weather dependent. We're looking for activities for adults, younger kids, and a teenager. The little ones will enjoy the zoo, a playground, etc. It may be a bit too early for area Halloween events, however, it should be the start of apple picking season!
