A wedding quiz gives guests a reason to talk to each other, laugh at the same moment and learn a few stories about the couple. Unlike the shoe game, where the couple answers, here the guests play: they answer questions about the couple on their phones, and the most attentive table wins.
This guide gives you 50 questions to adapt, grouped by theme, and a simple way to run the quiz with QR codes on the tables. Replace A and B with the couple’s names, keep the questions that fit their story, and check every answer with them before the day.
How a guest quiz works
The host shows each question on a screen or reads it aloud. Guests answer on their phones within a short time limit, then the correct answer appears, ideally with a short anecdote from the couple. After each round, a leaderboard shows the best players or tables.
With Pomlet, guests scan the QR code on their table, choose a nickname and are in the game. You can prepare the session in advance so the same QR code stays valid for 7 or 30 days, which means it can be printed on the table cards or the menu.
- Length: 15 to 20 questions, about 15 to 20 minutes
- Format: multiple choice with four options for most questions
- Rhythm: a few true or false questions keep the pace lively

How they met: 10 questions
Start with the beginning of the story. Guests love discovering details they did not know, and these questions work for every side of the family.
- Where did A and B meet for the first time?
- In which year did they meet?
- Who made the first move?
- What was their first date?
- Who said “I love you” first?
- In which city did they first live together?
- What was their first trip together?
- Who introduced them, or how did they first get in touch?
- What did A think of B at their first meeting?
- Where did the proposal happen?
Habits and quirks: 10 questions
Everyday habits make easy, funny questions. Ask the couple for the answer and a one-line story to read after the reveal.
- Who is always late?
- Who cooks most often at home?
- What is B’s favourite dish?

- What is their favourite way to spend a Sunday?
- Who has the more unusual hobby, and what is it?
- Which expression do they both say all the time?
Travel, food and favourite things: 10 questions
These questions are easy to turn into multiple choice: add three plausible wrong answers taken from the couple’s real life.
- What is their favourite holiday destination?
- Which country would they love to visit next?
- What is their favourite restaurant or cuisine?
- What does each of them drink in the morning, coffee or tea?
- What is A’s favourite film?
- Which song do they consider “their” song?

- Which sport or activity do they do together?
- Do they have a pet, or which one would they choose?
- What is the most surprising dish they have tasted on holiday?
The wedding day: 10 questions
Questions about the day itself create a shared moment. Prepare the answers the week before, and keep one or two to reveal live.
- How many guests are celebrating today?
- How many months did the couple spend preparing the wedding?
- Who chose the date?
- Which song will they dance to first?
- Where are they going on honeymoon?
- Who was more nervous this morning?
- Which wedding tradition matters most to them?
- Who is the youngest guest today?
- What was the hardest decision of the preparations?
- Which guest travelled the farthest to be here?
Fun questions and the future: 10 questions
End on a light note. Some of these questions have no single correct answer: use them as polls and let the couple react to the results.
- Which superpower would A choose?
- If B were an animal, which one would it be?
- Who would win a quiz about the other’s family?
- Who will plan their first anniversary?
- Where do they see themselves in ten years?

- Who will give the longest speech tonight?
Build the quiz in Pomlet in 15 minutes
Create a free account, start a new session and add your questions. Type them yourself from the list above rather than sending personal stories to an AI tool: the couple’s private details should stay with the people who prepare the quiz.
- Questions: multiple choice, true or false, and a poll or two for opinion questions
- Media: add a photo of the couple, or a short excerpt of “their song” played on the main screen
- Teams: choose Teams mode and prepare one team name per table
- QR code: prepare the session in advance, then print the QR code and PIN on the table cards
- Test: try the whole quiz on your own phone the day before
Keep it kind and inclusive
A wedding brings together people who know the couple from very different parts of their lives. Balance questions about each family and friend group, avoid inside jokes that exclude most guests, and never use a question that could embarrass the couple or a guest. Read the questions aloud for guests without a phone, and let older guests play as a pair with a younger table neighbour.
Ask the couple to validate the final list. A simple rule: if a question would make one of them blush in front of their grandparents, remove it.
Ready for the big day
A wedding quiz works when it is short, kind and full of real stories. Pick your questions, check them with the couple and test the QR code before the guests arrive. If you also want a moment for the couple themselves, add the shoe game: 60 questions are waiting in our guide.
