How to Choose the Best Questions for Your Wedding Shoe Game

---

So you’re planning to play the Shoe Game at your wedding? Great choice! It’s one of the funniest, most crowd-pleasing parts of the night — and it gives your guests a sweet (and sometimes hilarious) peek into your relationship.

But how do you choose the right questions?

Here’s a simple guide to help you pick questions that fit your personalities, keep guests entertained, and make your wedding unforgettable.

What Is the Shoe Game Again?

Quick refresher: You both sit back-to-back holding one of your own shoes and one of your partner’s shoes. A host (like your DJ or MC) reads a question like “Who’s the better cook?” and you each raise the shoe of the person you think is the answer.

Laughter usually follows.

Step 1: Decide on Your Tone

Are you looking for:

• Funny and lighthearted?

• Cute and sentimental?

• A mix of spicy and PG-rated (ask your audience)?

• Safe for Grandma?

This helps narrow down your question list and makes sure everyone feels comfortable.

Step 2: Choose Categories You Like

To make it easier, here are some popular categories of questions you can pull from:

Everyday Life

• Who’s more likely to burn dinner?

• Who’s the early bird?

• Who hogs the blankets?

• Who takes longer to get ready?

Relationship Moments

• Who said “I love you” first?

• Who made the first move?

• Who’s more romantic?

• Who planned the first date?

Habits & Quirks

• Who’s messier?

• Who spends more money?

• Who loses things more often?

• Who talks the most?

Future Plans

• Who’s more likely to plan the next vacation?

• Who wants more kids?

• Who’s more likely to start a DIY project?

Wildcard / Crowd-Pleasers

• Who’s always right? (Careful!)

• Who’s more stubborn?

• Who’s more likely to cry at a movie?

• Who would survive longer on a deserted island?

Step 3: Keep It Balanced

Try to include a mix of easy wins (where everyone knows the answer) and a few surprise twists. A little disagreement between you can be hilarious — just keep it playful!

Tip: 15–25 questions is the sweet spot for most weddings.

Step 4: Make It Personal

Add a few custom questions that your guests will recognize, like:

• Who made the first move at (insert bar, party, or church)?

• Who’s more obsessed with their pet?

• Who takes longer to text back?

Personal touches = better laughs and reactions!
