Throwing whiskey

The groom must throw an empty whiskey box between the men without a gold ring. Whoever catches it, takes the whiskey home. The idea is to generate a lot of expectation and for the groom to confuse the guests as to where he will throw the prize. Whisky can be replaced by another drink like wine or tequila.

Surprise box

Surprise gifts are also a good idea, as they keep the mystery going and make the whole thing even more entertaining. With "mystery" music playing in the background, the groom must throw a box with a prize in its contents, which can be a ticket to a concert, a football match, or an all-expenses-paid trip.

For football fans, this award will be the best. Get an original La Roja T-shirt and throw it among the guests. It doesn't necessarily have to be among the men; even women who are fans of the national team can take part, even if it means getting down on the floor in their long party dresses and high heels. The important thing is that there are no accidents.

In general, marriage games are intended exclusively for singles, however, the idea is that married men don't feel left out.

A dinner, a trip or a spa day for two, etc. The winner, for sure, will only get nice phrases of love from his companion.
