Being a newlywed is a fun and exciting experience. At your wedding reception, you will want to entertain your guests with food, drinks, dancing, and music. But you can also entertain everyone by playing a newlywed game. The newlywed game questions will show how well the couple really knows each other and it can be an entertaining and fun game for the guests to watch. It emphasizes that these newlyweds are entering a new chapter in their lives.
While most newlyweds will know a lot about each other, it is pretty unlikely that the couple will answer every single question correctly. That is the fun of this wedding reception game. You learn a little more about your spouse with this game. And this is just one day of many. With each day, week, month, and year that passes, you will learn more and more about your spouse as you continue to build your life together.
There are at least two ways to play the newlywed game. Either way, you will want to take 2 chairs to the middle of the dance floor. Arrange the chairs so that they are facing away from each other. Have the bride and groom remove their shoes. The bride will take one of the groom’s shoes and the groom will take one of the bride’s shoes. The couple can now sit in their chairs.
The DJ or master of ceremonies will have a list of questions to ask the newlyweds. The answer should be either “the bride” or “the groom.” Raising the bride’s shoe will mean that the answer to the question is “the bride,” while raising the grooms shoe will mean that the answer to the question is “the groom.”
A DJ can also ask questions with more detailed answers. For this kind of game, the bride and groom will each need a dry-erase board and marker. When the bride and groom write down the answers, they can show the audience, though the DJ might still need to read the answers out loud for those who cannot see the answers.
While there are many possible questions below, the newlywed game should probably last no longer than 30 to 45 minutes. While it can be very entertaining for the guests, after a while they will want to partake in an activity that they can actively participate in such as dancing or eating. Or they might just want to see you move onto the next event whether it is cutting the cake or watching a performance.
While most couples know each other very well, there are some details about each other that we won’t always know the answer to. S
