You and your partner spent so much time curating the perfect guest list - a blend of your closest friends and family, coming together to celebrate your big day. You probably wish you could take a photo with each one of your guests, capturing all the memories of your wedding, but it seems like an impossible task to catch everyone before reception's over. Luckily, I have your solution!
If photos with guests are a priority for you, a trending game called the The Table Dash may be a perfect addition to your reception. It solves a lot of logistical issues and makes getting these photos fun and efficient.
Here's how to play...

Speak to your photographer and DJ first. They will be the ones facilitating the game! At a point in the evening when guests are in their seats (like after speeches for instance,) your DJ will make an announcement that the game is starting.
Select an upbeat and long song, preferably close to 5 minutes in length. If your DJ has done this before, they may have some suggestions for you. Some I've personally seen are Thunderstruck by AC/DC, or Happy by Pharrell. If you have a guest list of 150+, you can select two songs, or ask your DJ to loop the same song twice. I wouldn't recommend exceeding 10 minutes for the game, though - the goal is for it to be efficient!
When the song starts, you (the wedding couple) run to each table with your photographer close behind. You will want to select some sort of order like table number, left to right, or front of the room to back, so the tables ahead have an idea you're coming and can be prepared.
Strike a pose with each table of guests as your photographer snaps away.
Get a photo with each table before the song ends!
