The groom and bride are seated back to back while the emcee asks questions regarding certain qualities that describe the couple. The groom and the bride will have to hold on to one of their own shoes and one of their partner’s shoes.

The game typically lasts about 10-15 minutes, depending on the number of questions asked.

The Newlywed Trivia Game
This is quite similar to the Wedding Shoe game but instead of choosing to answer between wedding or groom the couple must provide a more detailed answer to be written on a handheld white board or cards.
Mechanics : Newlywed Trivia Game
The groom and bride are to be seated apart from each other so they won’t see each other’s answers. Then the wedding emcee would then ask a series of questions about the couple’s relationship, preferences, and habits.
The couple would then try to match their answers with one another. After both have written their answers, they reveal them to the audience, often leading to funny reactions from the couple and the quest as well.
The game usually lasts around 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of questions and the time taken for responses and reactions.
Pro-tips:
Try and ask the couple the reasons for their answers before or after revealing the couples whiteboards. The couple can also provide answers for themselves and then their spouse.

Musical Chairs
Musical chairs are the potatoes of event games; they fit any occasion and celebrations. Everyone is quite familiar with the mechanics so every guest can easily join. You can also add some twists and turns to the game to make it more interesting.
Mechanics : Musical Chairs Game
Arrange chairs in a circle or two back-to-back rows. Ensure there are enough chairs for all but one participant. Play some fun upbeat music then let the participants walk around the chairs. Once the music stops the participants must find a chair to sit on and the person that was left without a seat would be eliminated.
After each round, remove one chair and restart the music. Continue until only one participant remains.
Pro-tips:
- Instead of just walking around the chairs, ask them to dance to the music.
- Have the eliminated player do a fun task like singing or dancing silly dance steps.
- Add props that guest participants can wear or hold on to make the game more visually appealing.
- Have the eliminated guest take a pic with the couple to capture memories.
Musical Chair Game Variations
Here some variations and twist you can add to your musical chair game to make it exciting (click on “+” sing to expand list)
Final round 1v1
In the final round where only two participants are left you can let them have a final showdown game instead of the music chair. Some options are dance or singing battle but can also be just as simple as a “Bring me” where they have to find and bring a required item.
You can also have them both win the final price for their participation.
Couples Musical Chair
This fun variation can be performed if you have many couples as guests or any pairs willing to join. The participants have to form two circles around the chairs, one circle moving clockwise and the other counterclockwise forming an inner and outer circle around the seat.
While the music is playing. Then once the music stop the participants must find a seat and sit on their partner’s lap. You can also ask the to switch inner and outer circle to add an element of surprise to the game. This is fun because of the ensuing chaos when the couple try to find each other.
