Fanta Matrimonio

Purpose of the game

The guest game at a wedding: predictions about weather and delays, points for jokes, tears, light mishaps — all designed to celebrate the event, never mock it. The winner gets the title of "most spirited guest" of the party.

How to play

The best man/maid creates the game and invites close friends a week before the wedding. Everyone answers 5 simple predictions (weather, delay minutes, guest count). During the wedding, the best man assigns points for funny moments: told the best joke, bride cried happy tears, saved the broken photo. The leaderboard stays hidden until the end of the party. At the finale, reveal with celebration of the top 3 guests. The newlyweds can watch as spectators, never as targets of the game.

Weddings, especially in summer (June-August). The game is discreet and celebratory, not competitive.
