Tips for a great wedding crossword
A crossword about the couple is a personal touch for wedding programs, reception tables and bridal showers. Guests learn the story — where they met, the first date, the pet, the proposal — while they wait for the speeches to start.
Choose 10 to 14 answers with clues that most guests can work out from the story or from a little help at the table. Mix easy clues (the month of the wedding) with insider ones (the first date drink) so both families have something to solve.
Print one per table on card stock and keep the answer key for the host. If you want a quick second game, switch to word scramble mode and the same words become a jumble with the clues underneath.
