The Wedding Shoe Game! (20 Questions)

Our couples often ask us what activities or things they can do during their wedding reception to spice it up a bit. The most requested activity is the Newlywed Game, also known as the Wedding Shoe Game.
How Does the Wedding Shoe Game Work?
We’ll set up two chairs back-to-back on the dance floor. You two have a seat and swap one shoe.
Your DJ will ask a series of questions. To answer, you raise the shoe of the person you think fits the answer best. If you think the answer is your spouse, you’ll raise their shoe; if you think the answer is yourself, you’ll raise your own shoe.
What makes this so much fun for your guests is that the couple cannot see each other’s answers, so they don’t know if the answers are the same. The couple can only see their friends’ and families’ reactions.
These can be memorable surprise moments to make during the reception and super entertaining for everyone watching!

When Is the Best Time to Play?
We always suggest that our couples play the Wedding Shoe Game either at the end of dinner or right after the cake cutting. (This is a great time for laughter while everyone enjoys something sweet!)
Try to make sure this is planned at a time when most of the guests are able to enjoy it. No one wants to miss out!
