Find-Your-Match Escort Cards

Rehearsal dinners are a prime time to employ some icebreakers. Start with seating: Ask guests to choose one half of a set of labeled barrel matches (say, peanut butter) and find the other (you guessed it: jelly) waiting for them at a seat at their assigned table. Each reunited pair is as dynamic a duo as you and your spouse-to-be.
