Activities and games for Christmas reception party should be fun and festive and should be able to tap in the excitement and joyous spirit of the season. Build the excitement by playing 'Jingle Bells' as Santa visits your Christmas wedding party as a surprise to your guests, dance with them, hands out candies and toys to kids and even plays DJ! Your guests can forward their wish lists to Santa and see if Santa grants them one of the favors.

Christmas wreath can take the place of the traditional bouquet for the toss while singles can be made to wear mistletoe on wreaths on their heads during the special dance number, so they cannot say 'No!' to the kiss. More elaborate weddings can introduce a short Nativity play and the couple can get blessings from angels and baby Christ at the end. Laser shows productions combining holiday themes and Christmas wedding theme is a sure attention-grabber.

You may shower two of your single guests with holiday tinsel, glitter and sparkle and they will have to dance the special number along with the newly wed couple. Customize the charades game to include the holiday and romantic wedding themes. You can also surf for charms and superstitions related to Christmas on net and the singles can pick up stockings from the party favor basket that can be opened and interpreted for others for fun. Passing out fortune cookies with funny messages and then breaking them to read them can be another funky Christmas reception party activity you can opt for.
