As a Professional DJ, I often get asked by wedding couples for suggestions on a ‘Kissing Game‘ to replace the traditional clinking of the glasses to get the newly wed couple to kiss during the wedding reception. There are many options out there that range in interaction and possible embarrassment.

Here are a few popular games that I suggest.
- Demonstration: Come up in front of the head table to demonstrate how you would like the couple to kiss.
- Kissing Dice : Roll the big foam dice with several options including: Newlyweds Kiss, the person rolling has to kiss someone, do a dance for the couple to kiss, roll again.
- Trivia Question / Action: Have a jar of Questions and Actions, answer the question correctly or do the action and the couple will kiss. Some examples would be: Where was the newlywed’s first date? What colour shoes are they wearing? What was their favorite tv show as a kid? You must kiss someone not sitting at your table for the couple to kiss, You must do a dance for the couple to kiss.
- Golf Mini Put: This is pretty straight forward, get the golf ball in the hole for the wedding couple to kiss.
- Spinning Wheel: This is similar to the wheel games you see at a carnival. A wheel on a stand with several options similar to the dice game to get the couple to kiss.
- Love Song: Your table has to get up and sing a song with love in it for the couple to kiss.
- Fortune Cookie: You can get custom fortune cookies made with questions or actions inside of them in order for the couple to kiss.
- Name That Tune: Come up to the DJ to play Name That Tune. The DJ will play a song, if guessed correctly the couple will kiss.
