Giant Jenga

To make it more exciting, you could even create themed blocks related to your party's theme or add forfeits for losing players, such as singing a silly song or performing a quick dance.

Garden Scavenger Hunt

A scavenger hunt is an excellent way to get guests moving and exploring your beautiful garden. Create a list of items for teams to find, such as a specific flower, a unique rock, or a bird's nest. You can tailor the list to your garden's features or add riddles to make it more challenging.

To add a touch of elegance, provide each team with a beautiful, hand-illustrated map of the garden. The first team to find all the items on their list wins a fabulous prize, while all participants enjoy the thrill of the hunt.
