50 Wedding Photo Scavenger Hunt Ideas (Free Printable)
A wedding photo scavenger hunt is a great way to keep kids entertained at your wedding, but it’s also an excellent game for adult guests.
Another benefit of doing a wedding photo scavenger hunt on your special day is getting so many fun and unique photos that your wedding photographer isn’t around for.
What is a Wedding Photo Scavenger Hunt, and how do you play?
A wedding photo scavenger hunt is an interactive game that your guests can play on your special day.
At previous weddings I have photographed, I have seen some couples make this a game to keep the kids busy during/after dinner.
At other weddings, I have seen couples print out a game card for each table so that all of the guests could play.
The best way to do a wedding photo scavenger hunt is to place a few disposable cameras on each table and print out a scavenger hunt game card (you can download ours for free below).
You can pick up a nice sign stand/frame to display the card or print out smaller 5×7 cards and include them as part of the menu card.
Guests use the cameras throughout the wedding reception and capture as many photos as possible from the list.
Have someone collect all of the cameras at the end of the reception (this is an excellent job for a few members of the wedding party)
