Celebration Tables put a little NFC piece on every table. Guests tap it with their phone to leave a message, play a table quiz and request a song. No app or account needed. There are four sets, each with its own pieces and games:
- Wedding Tables (hearts): congratulations, an anniversary time capsule and “Who knows the couple best?”
- Party Tables (stars): birthday wishes, a next-birthday time capsule and “Who knows the birthday star best?”
- Team Tables (hexagons): shout-outs and ideas, team trivia by table, and goals sealed for a year. Messages need approval by default.
- Shower Tables (clouds): wishes for baby and a predictions game. Guests guess now; once baby arrives, the host fills in the answers and the winning table is revealed.
Setting up (couples and planners)
- Activate the set under My games with the code on its card, then open its portal under Games.
- Fill in the event: names (e.g. Thandi & James), date, number of tables, a welcome line and the couple’s email for the time capsule.
- Write the quiz: 3 to 15 multiple-choice questions about the couple. Start from the ready-made questions and fill in your answers.
- Put a heart on each table (the number matches the table) and the welcome heart at the entrance or gift table.
- Open the big screen link on the venue projector or TV. It shows messages and the table leaderboard live.
At the reception
- Messages: guests tap the heart, type their name and a message. They can tick Seal it for our first anniversary: those stay hidden until then, when the couple gets an email to open their time capsule.
- The quiz: when you’re ready, press Open the quiz. Each guest answers once and their score counts for their table. Tables are ranked by their guests’ average, so small tables can win too.
- The reveal: press Close, then Reveal answers. The big screen shows the winning table, and guests see which answers were right, with your fun facts.
- Song requests go to the DJ link (three per guest). Switch them off if you have a set playlist.
Afterwards
Your keepsake link shows every message, the quiz results and the songs. Print it or save it as a PDF, or download the messages as a spreadsheet from the portal. Planners: press Start a new event to reuse the hearts. The previous couple’s keepsake link keeps working.
Keeping it kind
Every name, message and song request goes through the same family-friendly filter as all our games: no swearing, slurs, hateful phrases, links or phone numbers. The host can hide any message, or switch on Approve messages first so nothing reaches the big screen until they’ve seen it.
Questions
Can guests play the quiz more than once?
One go per phone, so the leaderboard stays fair. Guests at a table can share one phone if they like.
Do guests need to be at their own table?
The table number is filled in from the heart they tap, and they can change it. The welcome heart asks for a table number.
Who can see the big screen and keepsake pages?
Only people with those links. They contain a secret key; keep them to yourself and your planner or DJ.
