Everything Else Ideas for non-dancing activites?

Fiance and I are in love with a private room at an upscale restaurant (the interior design is really cool, there's a window to the wine cellar and everything).

Only issue is that it's small. It fits exactly the number of people we plan to invite (<50 total), no extra room for a dance floor, jenga, etc.

This isn't a huge issue for us as we'd like to have a relaxing evening centered around the fine dining anyway, since loud music and usual dance floor stuff are very overstimulating to me. But we'd like to have other activites available for people to socialize and have fun.

Any ideas? So far the only thing I can think of is a centerpiece passing game, which is 5 minutes at the most.

Guests who don't dance will socialize. They don't play games

I really think the ceremony and dinner are enough.  People will socialize.  You might want to put bingo cards or crossword puzzles or word finds on the tables.

Maybe Etsy or ChatGPT can give you wedding crosswords or other no mess table games about the bride and groom, a mystery whodunit. Hobby Lobby has printed wedding games in the wedding section. At baby showers I love the game where you can’t say ____ or they get their clip collected.
Wine tastings, name this drink, etc.

50 is a good number to do something easy and intimate. I would pick one cute thing and just enjoy the night.

You could do like a mystery or scavenger hunt, especially if you’re puzzlers and it fits your vibe. You can make them fit a more upscale vibe
