I'am making sheva Brochos for my SIL and future BIL in December. They are not frum so I want it to be a fun evening for them. It also happens to fall on New Years eve typical!!!! They already know that we will not be celebrating it and that is fine by them. Alot of their friends will be coming also, and they regard frum people as wierd and crazy really, so I want to prove to them that coming to a frum do on New Years Eve is fun and that we are normal. I hope that makes sense what I've just written. Anyhow we are going to show a powerpoint of pictures from when they were babies, growing up and pictures and videos of the wedding, etc... My kids will make this, the adults will love that!!!!

What else can we do? Any ideas will be amazing!!!

A simple activity (not really a game thought it was very funny) I recently played at a sheva brachos I think can work for any crowd. Basicaly the person in charge made a grab bag with tons of totally random items (shoe polish, vegetable peeler, a hanger, phone charger...). We passed the bag around and each person pulls something out and has to on the spot think of a bracha for the chosson/kallah related to the object. people came up with the most hilarious connections and brachos.

You can also do the above with marriage tips, if the crowd is not brachos giving type.

two truths/one lie. couples/partner write down on a card three facts about the newly married couple. two of the facts will be true, one is made-up. all of these are read out loud and the crowd has to guess which one is not true. or maybe it's one truth and two lies and the crowd guesses which one is true.
