If you’re looking to crank up the energy at your wedding and get your guests laughing and cheering, bride and groom trivia is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser! As a wedding DJ and MC who’s hyped up hundreds of receptions, I’ve seen firsthand how these games bring people together—and give the couple a chance to shine in a fun, interactive way.
So whether you’re planning your own big day or you’re a coordinator looking for creative ideas, here are 10 trivia-style games that are tried, tested, and DJ iSizzle-approved!
🎯 1. The Shoe Game
How it works: The bride and groom sit back-to-back and each hold one of their own shoes and one of their partner’s shoes. I ask a series of funny or sweet questions (“Who’s the better driver?” “Who said ‘I love you’ first?”), and they raise the shoe that fits the answer.
Pro Tip: Keep it under 10–15 questions for the perfect attention span. Sprinkle in a few spicy ones for extra laughs—if Grandma’s cool with it!
🧠 2. Who Knows Who Better?
How it works: I quiz the couple with pre-submitted questions. Each person answers how they think their partner would respond.
Pro Tip: Record the answers ahead of time and play the audio live—adds a hilarious game-show vibe!
📋 3. Guest Guess
How it works: The couple guesses fun facts submitted by their guests.
Pro Tip: Collect facts on RSVP cards or with a QR code in the invite. (“This guest once rode a camel in Morocco.”)
💬 4. “He Said, She Said”
How it works: Guests hold up signs (or mustaches/lips paddles!) for “He said” or “She said” based on funny or embarrassing quotes.
Pro Tip: Mix up innocent ones with sassy ones for good variety!
🕵️ 5. Wedding Party Pop Quiz
How it works: Ask the wedding party trivia about the couple (first date, favorite food, pet names).
Pro Tip: Offer a small prize to the winning team—bragging rights go a long way!
🧻 6. Toilet Paper Trivia
How it works: Play like the Shoe Game but wrap the “wrong” answer in a sheet of toilet paper!
Pro Tip: Only for lighthearted couples who don’t mind getting silly!
🎲 7. Roll The Question
How it works: Roll a giant inflatable die—each number corresponds to a trivia question.
Pro Tip: Great for outdoor weddings and interactive receptions.
📷 8. Picture This!
How it works: Show baby photos or old pics of the couple—guests guess who it is.
Pro Tip: Bonus points for awkward yearbook pics or 2000s MySpace poses!
📢 9. DJ’s Rapid Fire Round
How it works: I hit the couple with rapid questions—favorite snack, weirdest habit, secret talent.
Pro Tip: Keep it upbeat with a timer and dramatic game show music in the background.
🧩 10. Couple’s Crossword
How it works: Hand out crossword puzzles filled with trivia about the couple.
Pro Tip: Make it available during cocktail hour or dinner to keep guests entertained while waiting.

- 🕒 Keep it short & sweet. Aim for 10–15 minutes tops—enough to hype the room but not lose the vibe.
- 📱 Go digital. Use QR codes or apps for trivia votes—especially fun with younger crowds.
- 🎁 Prizes = participation. Even small gift cards or candy packs create incentive.
