Unique Shoe Game Questions to Ask at Your Wedding

Your wedding is a memorable day, one of the most memorable days of your life. You have many choices to make your day even more special. From the people you invite to the songs you play, to the activities included, your wedding and reception should represent you and your partner.

A fun wedding reception idea that many people enjoy is the Shoe Game. If you’re looking for some hilarious ways to play this game at your wedding reception, we’ve compiled some tips from the many wedding receptions we’ve emceed. At Adagio Djay Entertainment, we can help you coordinate this game to make your wedding reception one to remember.

How to Play the Shoe Game

To play the Shoe Game, arrange two chairs back to back in an area with great visibility for your guests. A great place is in the middle of the dance floor or right at the head table. The bride and groom remove both their shoes and pass one to their new spouse so that they each have one of their own and one of their spouse’s shoes.

The emcee, or someone chosen beforehand, poses a series of questions to the newlyweds that relate directly to the couple. The couple individually will answer by holding up the shoe that they feel belongs to the person who best fits the question. Since they are positioned back to back, they cannot see how their spouse is answering–but their guests can. For example, a question might be, “who is the messiest?” and both the bride and groom will hold up the shoe of the messiest partner. The game generally takes fifteen minutes or less and is lighthearted fun for everyone.

Tips for the Shoe Game

To ensure the game is successful and enjoyed by all, be mindful of the questions asked and the audience present. If there are younger kids at your wedding reception, the questions need to be clean. Designate someone to keep a record of how the questions were answered for a fun present for the couple after the event.

Keep your list of questions limited to 30-40 questions so that it doesn’t drag on and on. Print them up ahead of time in a legible font and include some unique questions that pertain specifically to the couple–for example, asking about a shared passion or hobby.

If you have a wedding party member, who likes public speaking, having them emcee the Shoe Game can be a good option. When someone who knows the couple well is the one asking the questions, they may be able to insert quick asides that are funny, relevant and can add to the activity. At the same time, the Shoe Game works best when the questions are in quick succession, leaving just enough time for the couple to choose their answer and the audience to respond. This pace keeps your guests engaged with the activity. Choose someone who can maintain this delicate balance.
