The Wedding Day Game
Mr & Mrs Questions
Over 100 questions for the funniest game at your wedding
The Mr and Mrs game is a hoot and a half, and it is catching on fast with couples who love adding a dash of fun to their big day. The best part? Your guests get a few glorious minutes to revel in this light-hearted jest at your expense. It is all for laughs, and it makes a wedding that bit more unforgettable.
This is your complete guide to the Mr and Mrs questions game, sometimes called the shoe game. Below you will find over 100 Mr and Mrs questions to choose from, including a few naughty ones, plus how the game works, how to play it well, and exactly when to bring it out on the day.
I have photographed plenty of these over the years, the reactions are some of my favourite moments of any wedding to capture. You can see more of how I work if you are still looking for your photographer, but for now, let’s get to the good stuff.
The Format
How the Mr & Mrs Game Works
If you have never seen it played, here is how the Mr and Mrs game works. The couple, the bride and groom, or bride and bride, or groom and groom, sit back to back, each holding one of their own shoes and one of their partner’s. This is why it is also called the shoe game.
Someone close to the couple, usually a friend or family member, plays the quizmaster and reads out a series of Mr and Mrs questions about the pair: their quirks, their habits, their funniest stories. For each question the couple lifts the shoe that matches their answer. If the answer is them, they lift their own shoe; if it is their partner, they lift their partner’s.
The real fun begins when both of them lift the same shoe. It means they are completely in sync and know each other inside out, and the more the shoes match, the more everyone laughs. Get a mismatch on a question they really should agree on, and the room erupts. It is a simple format, no real setup beyond two chairs, but it is an absolute riot every time.
It does not have to be shoes, either. I have been to weddings where couples used cut-out masks of each other instead, a fun, personal twist. Whatever you use, the heart of the game stays the same: letting your hair down, sharing a sneak peek into the relationship, and giving everyone a proper laugh.

How to Play the Mr & Mrs Quiz Well
How many questions should you ask? There is a temptation to milk this game for all it is worth, but the key to its success is knowing when to stop, before the audience gets bored. As a rough guide, around 10 to 15 questions is plenty to keep everyone entertained without dragging it out. Write down more than you need, then cut some on the spot if time is running short, and finish on the best question of the lot.
What makes a good Mr and Mrs question? The real trick is knowing your couple well enough to pick the juiciest ones, and keeping it light-hearted. Aim for questions that make your grandmother giggle without quite making her squirm. The best Mr and Mrs games I have seen start gentle and gradually ramp up to a few risque ones near the end, building the laughter as they go. Get personal, but be mindful not to make anyone feel got at.
Turn it into a drinking game. For extra hilarity, add a forfeit, a small shot or sip each time the couple’s shoes do not match. It tends to make people wonderfully honest with their answers, as long as nobody ends up legless before the first dance.
When should you play it? I have most often seen the Mr and Mrs quiz played towards the end of the wedding breakfast, sometimes in the same room, sometimes outside while the room is turned around. There is no real setup beyond a couple of chairs and your guests gathered round.
It makes a brilliant speech alternative, too. If you have been asked to give a speech and are wrestling with nerves or a blank page, suggest this game to the couple instead. Run through the Mr and Mrs questions, pick the ones that will land best, and you have a memorable, low-stress replacement for a formal speech that gets the whole room laughing.
In Closing
Your Complete Guide to Mr & Mrs Questions
So there you have it, a complete set of Mr and Mrs questions for your wedding, from the classic everyday ones to the cheeky and the downright naughty. Whether you are after classy questions or the funniest ones in the room, the secret is the same: know your couple, keep it light, and stop while everyone still wants more. It works just as well at a UK reception as it does at an intimate do, and it is a brilliant addition whether you are after a wedding game, a quiz, or simply a fun speech alternative.
Pick a mix of questions for couples, friends and family to enjoy, lean into the reactions, and let the shoes do the talking. The competitive streak always comes out, even on the big day, and that moment when the couple realise just how well, or how little, they know each other is pure gold every time.
The best part is never the answers. It is the faces.
And those faces are exactly the moments worth photographing. If you are still planning your day and looking for someone to capture the laughter, you can see how I work any time. However you play it, the Mr and Mrs quiz is sure to be a hit. Happy planning.
