Your Perfect Match

So it's typical, when you're the single girl or guy at the wedding, to huddle yourself next to the one or two people you might know and not spend time getting to know all of the other guests... or maybe people are spending too much time clumping with who they know, and you'd rather they get to know your husband's family for example. In Martha Stewart Weddings' recent edition they give us all an idea for getting our guests to mingle. They're called "find-your-match" cards and I think it's a fabulous idea.

How to Play

• Announce the rules early in the evening (consider asking a member of your wedding party to explain them). Each guest will receive a card with the name of one half of a famous couple--and will have until the end of the night to find it's mate.

Make It

• Download MS's heart cards here and print them onto card stock. Write a famous pair on each card, with one name on either side of the heart. Cut out cards along their outer edges, then cut each down the middle with decorative scissors. Place one card at each table setting.

Best part about this is you could customize it shows you like, or people you don't think parents will even know, or really just anything. Heck I would even make it into a game, where you got a prize if you found your pair (most likely everyone will, so maybe the prize is just their favor--they don't need to know that). But I think in the end this is something fun that your guests will enjoy, and a great icebreaker.

If someone tries this at their wedding, please let me know how it goes! I'd love to share it here.
