Description
“Pearls of Wisdom” cards are a great ice-breaker for daytime wedding receptions. Asking family and friends to complete a card each at their tables, creates fun and can be much better than passing a guest book around.
These work on a number of levels: As each guest has one waiting for them as they sit down for the wedding breakfast, they can swap them with each other, write some funny, romantic or wise words for the newlyweds. There are pictures to draw, poems to write… all sorts. And with 10 in the ‘deck’ they'll be plenty of variety on each table.
Or as DJ/Wedding host you may want to work the tables with them, giving each guests their very own ‘Pearl’ - great for building rapport with everyone.
Then pick 4 or 5 of the best ones to read out just before introducing the speeches - a great ice-breaker and a perfect ‘warmup act’ for the father of the bride.
After the wedding, you can of course present your couple with the cards - and there are options here to frame them, compile them into an album, pop a treasure tag in the corner… or just stick them into that big empty guest book you find at most weddings.
