5. Scrabble Tiles
Using scrabble tiles in weddings is quite the trend right now–for good reason! They are just so cute and versatile. Look for used Scrabble games at thrift stores.

7. Puzzles
Although technically not a “game,” we think puzzles deserve a spot on the list. We like the symbolism of two pieces fitting together perfectly–it seems so appropriate for a wedding!
Puzzle piece menus, via The Knotty Bride, would get the conversation rolling at each table.
Puzzle Invitation. Send guests unassembled puzzle pieces that form your invitation or save the date, via Etsy. Or, create a simpler version that links together the invite and rsvp card, via The Sweetest Occasion.
Dessert could feature adorable puzzle cookies, via “Fully Baked” and a cake decorated with fondant puzzle pieces, via Elizabeth Anne Designs
