The Shoe Game Explained
The wedding shoe game is one of the easiest and funniest wedding reception games you can add to your timeline. Before your big day, choose a list of light, playful wedding shoe game questions. You can even ask your bridesmaids or groomsmen to create the list so that both you and your future spouse are completely surprised when the questions are read.
At your wedding reception, engagement party, or co-ed bridal shower, the couple sits back-to-back, each holding one of their own shoes and one of their partner’s shoes. A host, DJ, or family member reads out a series of silly questions like “Who is the better cook?” or “Who said ‘I love you’ first?” You both raise the shoe of the person you think best fits the answer. The result is a hilarious, he-said/she-said moment that your guests will love and that looks great in photos.
Rules of the Wedding Shoe Game
To keep the wedding shoe game fun and guest-friendly, make sure your questions stay light, funny, and not too serious or embarrassing. We recommend choosing around 20–30 shoe game questions so the activity lasts about 10 minutes and doesn’t drag on.
This is a perfect wedding reception icebreaker that breaks up the evening, gets everyone belly laughing, and gives your DJ a great moment to interact with the crowd. Use our list of fun wedding shoe game questions as inspiration for your own St. Louis wedding reception and customize them to match your personalities.
