Guest Trivia Game

debdebdol · June 2010

So we're doing something a little different at our wedding. I came up with the idea of doing a trivia game for our guests. We will be asking them questions about FI and I as a couple, and questions about each of us. I will be having our DJ (a family friend) as questions throught the reception. Guests (mostly family) who answer correctly will win a gift card.

I am drawing a blank on questions to ask. I have the typical "how long have we been together", "where did we get engaged" questions. Does anyone have any suggestions on other questions to ask?

TIA!

are any questions allowed or you going for specific ones? i would probably say go for some comedic questions..making the ambiance of the reception filled with laughter and jokes.. for example..what's the most embarrassing moment that the bride has gone through..groom..etc..or funny habits..i mean the questions are countless..it just depends on what mood or direction you want your guests to go in..do you want it more humorous or a little dirty? or more black and white questions like you mentioned..

What is this new tradition of playing games at weddings?

I'm sorry. It's just that, people I know dont go to weddings to play games. Your wedding will be fun enough with folks mingling, eating, drinking etc, that organized games aren't nessasary.

I think its a great idea its your DAY! go for it.

Hey, to each their own. We're not having a traditional wedding. We are a fun loving couple and want our guests to have a blast. Just about all our guests will be family and they know our personalities already so why not do something like this. Every couple has their own unique ways of keeping everyone entertained. Most of my family are not dancers or drinkers, so I don't want them to sit at the table and be bored.

Qtxvixen, I think we are leaning more towards the humerous side. And your post has given me some ideas.

FutureMrs, thanks for your encouragement.

Please. A wedding is already about the couple enough. I think making your guest answer trivia questions about YOU is AW-ish to the extreme.

I detest games at weddings. Please treat your guests like the adults they are. They know how to mingle and make small talk at a wedding.

As soon as you introduce "games", you cut down on the chance for people to visit, chat, catch up, share memories, etc. Now they have to stop doing what people do at receptions to play games.

Disclaimer: I find "games" at showers annoying as well.

That sounds like a huge party killer, honestly.

This sounds like fun for say an engagement party or shower. Only you know your guests and if you think they would enjoy this then go for it.

We did this. We asked questions like

What's bride's favorite musical?(Hint:the vows are from the show)

What instrument did groom play in a garage band?

Where did bride and groom meet?

God, I'm drawing a blank now...

ive seen it done where they took cards from trivial pursuit and went around the room asking questions and if someone got it right the couple had to kiss

This was done during dinner so if people didnt really want to pay attention they didnt really have to...

plus it is YOUR day no one elses. do whatever you want to do. its about having an open mind!! my family thinks we're still stuck in the 1960s and that i need to have a polka band and a "everyone brings a dish to pass" wedding. and i think that is LAME so everyone just has their own opinions.
