Party GamesParty games for couples
Games for anniversaries, sangeets, receptions and dinners where the guests have come in pairs. They are warm and funny without being awkward: questions about habits and memories, a dance on a shrinking sheet of newspaper, a blindfold makeover. Any two people can play as a pair, so friends, siblings, and parents with children can join too.

How to choose from this list
Start with one quiet game while guests arrive, then alternate: an active game, a seated one, another active one. Plan one game for every fifteen minutes and keep a spare. The time on each card is for one game with a typical group; with more players, allow longer or play in heats. Open a game for what you need, the steps, and a safety note.
