Wedding kissing games

Are you doing any games encourage the bride and groom to smooch during the wedding reception? I want to do something fun instead of just kissing every time someone starts clinking their champagne flute, but not sure what. At my cousins wedding someone had to howl loudly like a wolf. It was super fun, but not sure how it would go over with my crowd... Anyone know any unique and fun games? Thanks!

    My brother and my SIL did the Hershey kiss thing. Not too many people did it for them--I think I'm part cause they didn't get it. So that may be an option

    I've also been at weddings were you have to kiss someone the way you want the couple to kiss (our whole table went up and kissed our partners so that meant the whole head table did with their significant others which took some of the pressure off the bride & groom). Also been to a wedding where you have to do a dance for the couple to kiss (people were doing old retro funny moves- shopping cart, lawn mower, sprinkler, etc). And again at another one they played plinko and the disc went into the different "kisses" the couple could do (kiss on the cheek, kiss on lips, etc) Again at a different wedding the person had the person have to answer a question about the bride or groom or both in order to get them to kiss

    Just some ideas

    I wish this wasn't expected in my crowd.. But it is. It was kind of fun when one person would start howling like a wolf all the guests would join in, but I would like to limit the on demandness of it all

    We are doing a "Kissing Menu" to avoid the glass clink. As much as I don't really want to do it, at the end of it all it may avoid the clinking and I get to kiss FH!

    We haven't designed it yet, but some examples on etsy: "Want the bride and groom to kiss?" Sing them a song with love in it (bonus points for involving the whole table), Answer a question about the bride and groom, Marriage advice etc.

    We totally had kissing games instead of clinking and it worked fairly well (it cut down on the clinking greatly which meant we had moments to talk to other people) BUT we had a lot less people participate then I would have thought. Out of 225 guests we had about 10-15 participate?

    We called it mr and mrs kisses and had 4 options. 1. Sing a song with the word love in it. 2. Tell a story about either the Mr or Mrs or both. 3. Give some advice to the couple. 4. Answer Trivia about the Mr or Mrs

    I found mini wedding bells that will hold the table numbers along with this poem: today as we gather together, wish us a live to last forever, if you would like us to share a wedding kiss, ring the bell for lifelong bliss!

    FH and I are big nerds and he plays dungeon and dragons every Friday so we're going to have a game where if people roll high enough on a D20 (20 sided dice) we'll kiss, but if they roll too low they have to kiss someone.

    Gawd! In MN that tradition is at every wedding. Its turned into " lets see if we can time it while the bride and grooms mouths are full". AND not only will they clink on anything with their table knife, i.e. a waterglass, a plate, a bottle.....they also yell, kiss, kiss... until you do. Im hoping because it is mostly family, and we are older, we wont have deal with it... Im dyin ! Lol :-)

    Nope. I think they are awkward for the couple and the guests.

    My parent's had just gone to a family wedding on my dad's side a month before mine and they warned me they were crazy about the glass clinking. So I was warned but not too pleased, luckily it only lasted during dinner and the rest of the night we were on the dance floor.

    If someone clinks their glass I will ignore it. I'll kiss him whenever I damn please.

    I'm worried about this too. I've only been to one wedding where it was really a "thing," but it stuck with me enough to fear our guests will do it too. It's one thing if it happens 2 or 3 times, but with some crowds, acknowledging the clinks will just encourage them. FH says his family might be one of those crowds.

    They clinked glasses only once at our reception, and when we kissed other people, (I kissed the maid of honor and he kissed the best man) it deterred that habit.
