As you’re browsing the web for clever activities and decor to add to your wedding, you see an image of a crossword puzzle with a place setting. When you click it, you realize this couple used a crossword puzzle maker to make their very own wedding crossword puzzle. It sounds unique and fun, but you’re not quite sure how to do it. When would I use it? How would I make one? There are a number of ways guests can enjoy a homemade crossword puzzle at your wedding, too.

 

1. With the Invitation

Most people receive a wedding invitation, put the date in their calendar, send in their response, and then leave it at that. With a homemade crossword puzzle, your guests will feel an extra sense of excitement for the wedding. What other fun activities will there be on the big day? What delicious food will be served? Give your guests hints with a fun wedding crossword puzzle.

 

2. On the Program

When the ceremony begins, all of your guests will send their joy and love to you. Almost all weddings have a bit of wait time at the beginning, though. Place a small crossword puzzle into your program to give people a quiet activity to enjoy while they wait for the main event to begin. Fill the puzzle with clues about love and marriage, or give special clues about the bride and groom and the ceremony about to take place.

 

3. As Conversation Starters

Whether your guests are old friends from school or new friends meeting for the first time at your wedding, a wedding crossword puzzle can get the conversation going. You can give each table or guest their own unique crossword with specific clues and memories, or you can make a general crossword puzzle for everyone to enjoy. Then watch as your guests begin to bond over shared memories.

 

4. As Wedding Favors

Wedding favors can be tricky, as you’ll want to give your guests something to remember the day, but not something that ends up cluttering their homes. A crossword puzzle commemorating your event fits the bill. Remind guests of the songs played or of the decadent cake served with clues they will remember years later. You can even pair the puzzle with monogrammed pencils and a small eraser or pencil sharpener. Top it off with a picture of the couple on the back for a complete package.

 

If you haven’t proposed to your special someone yet, remember – homemade crossword puzzles make for a great engagement story, too!
