Questions
What games can we play at a sangeet night?
Bollywood dumb charades with the bride's side against the groom's side is the classic. Ishaara picks the film, keeps the time and the score. Between dance performances, a round of the forehead game with shaadi words gets the whole room shouting.
What games can we play at a mehendi ceremony?
Pick games where your hands stay free. In Bahurupiya you only talk: everyone sees a secret word except one bluffer, then you vote. In Tilak someone else holds the phone to the bride's forehead while the room gives clues.
Is there a game to see how well the bride and groom know each other?
Jinx. The bride and groom each pick answers to the same ten prompts on their own phones, and the screen shows how many they matched. Cousins can play it against the couple too.
