Weddings are the perfect place for the people you love to get to know each other a little better. But, Dutch courage from the open bar aside, sometimes you need to give them a nudge in the right direction – and that’s where wedding icebreakers come in.
While they’re not an obligatory part of your wedding table décor, more and more couples are leaving wedding table icebreakers scattered throughout their receptions to help their guests spark up great conversations without any initial awkwardness.
Whether you go for quirky, light-hearted questions or discussion points that will spark debate, not only do wedding icebreakers offer a lifeline for guests who don’t know many of your other attendees, they also encourage those who’ve been in each other’s lives for years to dig a little deeper. Hey, it could even be worth playing a few of them with your spouse-to-be…
We’ve got a list of 125 ice breaker questions you can pick and choose from to ask your guests. Spend an evening coming up with a list of these to print out for the table, add a card with your icebreaker questions on to each place setting or fill jars with strips of paper and invite everyone to draw a few as they mingle. Just (as with any of your wedding games) be sure to keep things appropriate for everyone you’ve invited, from your granny to your girlfriends.
Here are some of our favourites to get you started, plus some ideas for crafty ways to share them out. If you don’t want to DIY your wedding table icebreakers, we’ve also included links to some handy pre-made sets you can order for delivery too. Happy quizzing!

4 Ways to Display Your Wedding Ice Breakers
Use Blank Playing Cards or Index Cards
If you’re naturally artistic or have lovely handwriting, making your own wedding icebreakers could be as simple as finding a blank slate and writing them out by hand. Amazon has packs of 200 cards for as little as £6.99 – when you’re done, pop them into an ornate box, or use place name stands or freestanding photo clips to prop them up at each table setting.
Type It Up
For an option that’s a little less time consuming, create an A4 sheet of questions that you print at home and display on each table (picture frames from IKEA, or the clear acrylic sign holders you often find in offices are ideal for this purpose). Sites like Canva have hundreds of lovely A4 designs you can use for free.
Find a Printable
If you want to DIY some elements but aren’t au fait with graphic design, head to Etsy, where you’ll find endless options for printable icebreakers you can use at your wedding, from conversation cards to speech bingo. Many of them allow you to customise your selection so you can make it more personal.
Fill a Mason Jar
All you really need for this is some empty jars and strips of paper or card, although you could use wooden lolly sticks for a sturdier alternative. Again, you can print out your questions or handwrite them – when you’re done, add a label to the jar to explain the game to your guests, and customise it with stickers or ribbons to match your colour scheme.
