    You can do it as an activity or as a contest. If you improvise it, you don't need anything more than a tie and two volunteers to hold it on each side. There are many songs to accompany this wedding game, such as Limbo by Daddy Yankee and In the Summertime by Shaggy.

    9. Musical chair

    In the center of the dance floor you must place several chairs in a circle, making sure that there are fewer chairs than the number of participants. Every time the music stops and a player is left without a seat, you must remove a chair, until there are only two players and only one chair left. May the best player win!
