Wedding Cornhole Boards
First, you’re probably wondering… where am I supposed to set up bean bag toss at my wedding? This is an important thing to consider before you even buy wedding cornhole boards since you need ample room to play it. This will make sure your game looks like a fun cocktail hour activity rather than, welcome to the corn toss tournament that accidentally crashed a wedding. Ha! ;)
Where to Set Up Wedding Cornhole Boards
If you’re planning to have wedding lawn games set up for your guests, make sure there’s enough room. If you’re having an outdoor reception, set up the game on the grass where there is plenty of space to toss the bags without, ya know, knocking over the cake, a glass champagne tower, or tossing it into an unsuspecting guest by accident. :)
If your wedding reception is indoors and you have a side room for kids/games/extra storage (some venues offer a kids room with board games, etc. to give extra space for little ones to run around), you can set it up there, provided there is enough room to play it.
Regardless of where you set it up, make sure the game it all set, ready-to-play, with the wedding corn toss bags on each side of the board. Guests will more likely jump in and play a game of corn toss if the boards are ready to go.
How to Set Up Corn Toss Boards at Weddings
If you’re wondering how many feet apart for corn toss game, good question! Set up your boards directly facing each other with 27 feet between the front edge of each board.
How Many Wedding Corn Toss Boards vs. Guests?
As a rule of thumb, one set of corn toss boards is sufficient for 75 guests. For 150 guests — and outdoor space allows — set up two sets of wedding cornhole boards. 2 to 4 players can play each set of boards at a time, and many guests will spectate. Not everyone will play and the boards are supposed to be set up as an alternative to dancing or something to occupy time during cocktail hour.
