So I've had a quick google and the only thing I can find is trivia games and similar type things.
What I would like to find is a way to get my guests to mingle as a table when they are having the meal as I know some are shy and would like to try to get them all laughing together before the night time reception.
If anyone has any suggestions please help!!
Thanks in advance!

You could do like a treasure hunt type thing?
I really did marry my Mr Wright and we had a nice day for a

Create little icebreaker packs with light hearted questions (I'd maybe avoid areas such as relationships and work which could be sensitive areas) things like....if you could have a dinner party and invite any three fictional characters, who would they be and why...What was your favourite toy as a child....what film best describes you...Etc.

We're going to work out our table plan to make sure that there's someone outgoing on each table who can get conversation going. We'll also put people with things in common together, such as parents of young children.
30th August 2014 was the best birthday ever.
It was the day that I became Mrs. Dixon.

I'm having the table games etc - but we're also having antipasti type sharing platters for our starters to get people passing stuff around and talking... Getting the seating plan right is essential... one of the worst things you can do is put ALL the singles on one table... a few here and there... a few coy looks across tables between singles will make the evening fun too...
Try to put a mix with a few people on each table with similar interests or lifestyles too so they have at least a few starting points and common interests.
Putting everyone of the same kind of personality such as singles, parents on one table alone, instead of spreading them around could make it very dull for them... People enjoy talking away from their day-to-day life and of more interesting things at a wedding which is a family AND social event... for some people like parents... it's the most socialising they get!
Try and avoid a 'spare parts' table too - theres nowt worse then being sat on the 'we didn't know where to put you, so we just stuck you all together'...

We're making personalised trivia boxes which will hopefully break the ice with things like "what is Justin (H2b) most scared of" and "who is Charlie likened to the most" (Bette Midler if anyone is curious) alongside classics like "whats the tallest mountain in the world", you get the idea!
Then we'll just include an I Spy sheet for taking pictures.
We have a close up magician who will go around while pictures are taken too so that will hopefully break the ice a little.
