A wedding is the hardest room to play music bingo in and the most rewarding. Three generations, two families who met yesterday, a table of the groom's colleagues who know nobody, and the cousins who came for the open bar. Music bingo is the thing that puts all of them at the same table, because a song needs no introduction and no shared history. Grandma gets Can't Help Falling in Love; the colleagues get Mr. Brightside; everybody gets Dancing Queen.
This list follows the shape of a real wedding night. The first-dance songs everyone has heard at three other weddings (Perfect, Thinking Out Loud, All of Me, A Thousand Years), the soul and Motown that fills the floor at nine (September, Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Ain't No Mountain High Enough), the guaranteed floor-fillers (Uptown Funk, Shut Up and Dance, Don't Stop Me Now, Yeah!) and the ones that get the bride's friends screaming at midnight (Wannabe, Single Ladies, Love on Top).
Play it between the meal and the dancing, when people are seated and the room is starting to go quiet. A card on every plate, the DJ plays ten seconds of each song, and the first table to complete a line gets the first round at the bar.

Tips for a wedding bingo that actually works
Put it on the table, not in a corner. One card per plate, printed on the same paper as the menu, and a pen. Nobody has to move, nobody has to sign up, and the shy uncle plays anyway.
Give the DJ the song list. Print the host list from the generator and hand it over with the timing. Ten seconds per song, chorus first, forty songs in about fifteen minutes.
Watch the artist repeats. Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars and The Beatles each appear more than once. Keep the title on the card.
Play it by table. A card per table instead of per person turns it into a team game, and the first table to shout has to come up and dance. That is the actual point.
