How to run the Newlywed Game at your reception
The show premiered on ABC in 1966: one spouse answered offstage, the other guessed, and each match scored 5 points. The wedding version keeps that loop.
- 01
Pick 8 to 12 questions
Mix funny and sweet, plus one or two risky ones the couple approved.
- 02
Record one side ahead
A week before, the MC interviews one partner in private. That sheet is the answer key.
- 03
Set the stage
Two chairs, a pad and a black marker each, and the question list for the MC.
- 04
Ask and write
The other partner writes what they think their spouse said and holds it up.
- 05
Reveal and score
The MC reads the recorded answer. A match scores 5 points, like the 1966 show.
- 06
Swap and close sweet
Reverse roles for round two, then end on a sweet question.
Four ways to play with the same questions
| Game | How it works | Props | Who answers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Newlywed Game | One partner predicts what the other said in a private interview | Answer key, pads, markers | The couple, MC reads |
| Shoe Game | Back to back, each raises a shoe for who fits | One shoe of each partner | The couple at once |
| Table trivia | Each table answers a printed card, best score wins | Table cards, pens, a prize | Guests in table teams |
| True or false | Guests stand and answer with hands, wrong answers sit | A mic and a list of statements | Every guest at once |

Hosting notes, do this, not that
The same habits keep any question game short and fun.
Do
- Play after the main meal and before open dancing
- Get both partners to sign off on every question
- Pause on each reveal and let the room react
- Keep two Favorites questions in reserve for an encore
- Close on a sweet question and hand off to a toast
Don't
- Ask about exes, money or family tension
- Run 20 questions back to back
- Spring a question the couple never saw
- Let one disagreement turn into a debate
- Start before the food is cleared
“Any time after the main meal and before the open dancing begins.”
MarryUsGary, how to host the Shoe Game as the MC
Six fill-in frames for your own questions
Fill these frames with the couple's pets, cities, songs and running jokes.
Rule of thumb: comparatives (who does it more) get bigger laughs in a live game than facts (what is their favorite), which suit written trivia better.

How to pick the right questions for your crowd
College friends can handle the embarrassing round. A formal dinner with several generations does better with history and favorites. For the Newlywed Game, choose questions the couple might disagree on, since the mismatch is the fun.
- Mix easy and inner-circle questions, roughly 60/40
- Skip finances, past relationships and family tension
- Get both partners to sign off before printing
Combining game questions with photo sharing
The best moments of a question game last a second, and guests catch them on their phones. A shared album with a QR code on each table collects those photos during the reception.

Newlywed Game and trivia questions
How many questions, how to score, what to avoid and how to print them: short answers.
Eight to twelve. More than fifteen starts to drag. Open funny, add a few the couple may disagree on and close with two sweet ones. MarryUsGary's MC guide suggests 10 to 15 for the similar Shoe Game.
On the original 1966 ABC show, each matching answer earned 5 points and the roles reversed for the next round. At a wedding, keep 5 points per match and play two short rounds, one per partner.
Good laugh lines include who hogs the blanket, who would survive longer in the wild, who forgets where they parked, who sings in the car and who would win an arm wrestle. Lead the round with two of these, then move on to classic and sweet questions.
Mix them. Start with questions most guests can answer, like where the couple met, then end with two or three only close friends would know.
Review every question with both partners and give each a veto. If either would hesitate to tell the story on their own, cut it.
A5 table cards with 10 to 12 questions for dinner trivia, an 18pt MC sheet for the Newlywed Game and A6 cards for solo quizzes at each seat.
Yes, the who-does-what questions in the Newlywed Game set work for the Shoe Game. Fact questions do not. Our shoe game questions pages have full sets, including funny and dirty versions.
At least two weeks before the wedding, so the couple can agree on official answers and the MC can prep the reveal.
