The Wedding Shoe Game is a fun way to spend time with your friends and family. It’s also a great way to get them talking about what they love most about weddings! If you’re looking for more ways to play this game, check out our blog post with 70+ questions you can ask during the game.
What Is the Wedding Shoe Game?
The Wedding Shoe Game is a popular reception activity that tests the couple’s knowledge of each other. From who is the funniest to who is the best cook, the newlyweds will have to answer a variety of questions without seeing one another’s answers.
How to Play
The wedding shoe game is easy to set up and play. You’ll only need a little space that everyone can see. Have your bridal party clear the area and set the game up when it’s time to play.
Step 1: Set Up
You’ll need two back-to-back chairs in the designated area for this game.
You and the groom should sit on the chairs and shouldn’t be able to see each other.
You should then take off your shoes and swap one for one of the groom’s shoes.
You should be holding one of your shoes in one hand and one of your partner’s shoes in the other before the game starts. Similarly, he should also have one of his and one of your shoes.
Step 2: The Host
Choose a fun host for this game: one of your life-of-the-party friends or relatives who can command a crowd would be the best option.
The host will ask the bride and groom a series of questions.
Often times your host will be your DJ or Master of Ceremonies.
Note: All Pro Sound & Light Show DJs are trained to host this game.
Step 3: The Questions
The questions are a crucial part of the game. They should be interesting enough to gain reactions.
The host will ask about 20–30 questions about the couple.
The question could be as trivial as, “Who wakes up earlier?” or as naughty as “Who likes role-playing more?”
You can start with easy questions and add more personal, funny, or naughty ones, depending on your preferences.
Step 4: Raise The Shoes
You and the groom should use your shoes instead of shouting the answers to the questions.
Raise your shoe if you think the question describes you more, and raise your partner’s shoe if the question fits him better. He should do the same.
Check how willing your husband is to play it before adding this to your program.
Discuss the type of questions you’re both ready to answer in front of your family and friends, who’ll most likely be filming the whole time.
Ensure the host makes short pauses between the questions to give you and your guests time to react (or object!) to the answers.
Open Mic
The game only needs those four steps, but if you and your husband are a daring couple, go ahead and allow some time for an open mic for five questions from your guests.
Your family and friends will have a hoot.

FAQ
How many questions should you ask during the Wedding Shoe Game?
Ask 30 to 40 questions. This will allow you to answer questions on a range of topics from simple to more personal varieties. If a caller or couple decides to embellish some of the questions or answers, you should cut back on the number of questions so the game doesn’t drag on too long.
How long should the Shoe Game last?
As a rule, the Wedding Shoes Game should last about 10 minutes. When you allow 20 seconds for each question, with time for a brief crowd reaction, you will have enough time to ask about 30 questions. If you take a fast-fire approach, you may be able to squeeze in a few extra, but remember to not read them off so quickly that the guests may ignore the question, especially over lingering laughter.
When’s the best time to play the Shoe Game at a wedding reception?
Play the Wedding Shoe Game after dinner’s over, right before the dance party begins and while the musicians are still prepping-or use this crowd-pleaser as a fun filler while the music takes a break. The only time you should avoid playing is during dinner when you and your guests should focus on actually eating and listening to toasts, or when sleepy guests have left and the drinks have been flowing for a few hours. You don’t have to wait until your wedding reception to play the shoe game. It’s the perfect wedding party game too.
