Blowing Kisses

Here's a fun wedding game that I recently picked up at a workshop. It's called "Blowing Kisses."

Ideally, you will need two teams, with 3-5 members per team. You can make teams from table representatives, bridal party members, etc. This is best done at small, intimate celebrations, although I've heard it's been done at larger parties, with more tables, teams, and contestants. Adults can play, but it's also a cute game for children to do.

Each contestant is given a straw. Each team is given a Hershey's Kiss. The Kisses are placed on their sides on one end of a long table. When the emcee says "Go!", contestants use their straws to blow the Kiss across the table. First team to blow their candy off the far end wins!

A few rules:

No hands or body parts must touch the candy. Movement of the candy can only be accomplished by the breath of air from a straw.

Teams may take a moment before the game starts to develop a "strategy" to accomplish the feat. Some teams require all three members to blow at the same time. Others have players alternate. Still others may have one team member blow until exhaustion, and then another team member takes over. Ultimately, each team decides HOW they want to accomplish the task.

If the candy falls off the table, the team automatically forfeits the race, so team members must always be aware of where the candy is on the table, and be prepared to do something if it comes too close to the edge!

This is a great game to play during a buffet dinner, while guests are waiting for their turn to the buffet. It is something entertaining for them to watch and participate in instead of simply sitting around being bored and doing nothing. This game also works great during cocktail hour, as an icebreaker among groups of friends and relatives who may have not met before!
