How to Play the Wedding Shoe Game

This footwear-focused activity, which can be a bridal shower game or rehearsal dinner game, is one of the easiest wedding-related forms of entertainment. Keep reading to learn step-by-step how to play the shoe game at a wedding.

1. Ensure everything is set up.

Ask a wedding party member to place two chairs back to back in the middle of the dance floor. Have each newlywed sit away from each other. Then instruct them to take off their shoes and have them give one of their shoes to their partner. Each should have one of their own shoes and one of their partner's shoes in their hands.

2. Have a wedding shoe game question MC.

Before the wedding day, designate an MC or "caller" who'll ask the newlyweds the best raise the shoe wedding game questions. If you don't want to put any of your guests to work, your wedding DJ or bandleader can act as the MC of the game. (You can find both of these pros on The Knot Vendors Marketplace after entering your wedding location and choosing "MC services" under the "+More filters" tab.) Otherwise, it's a great job for the honor attendants or any loved one. Just ensure they're comfortable speaking in front of a crowd.

3. Come prepared with shoe game questions.

Each shoe game wedding question the happy couple is asked should start with "who", as in "Who is the better cook?" or "Who has a better shower singing voice?" (This is one of the distinctions that makes the activity completely different from Newlywed Game questions.) You can even get your guests involved by asking them to write questions for the MC to read come game time. You can solicit their questions through RSVPs or have them write them down at the reception and have the MC draw some from a jar. And for those wondering what to include on their wedding website, have a wedding website FAQs section that has this question, "Where can I submit my wedding shoe game question?" Then, guide guests through inputting their favorite question through your site.

What are the rules for the shoe game at a wedding? The MC should ask simple questions first and gradually move to more personal ones––as long as the couple is comfortable answering and letting friends and family hear them. Once asked a question, the newlyweds raise their partner's shoe if it describes their partner's tendencies and their own shoe if it represents themself. They may even lift both shoes in the air to declare a tie. The trick is they can't see their spouse, so they'll have no idea if they're answering the same way—although they'll probably be able to tell by their guests' reactions (and may sneak a peak once they've committed to their answer).

4. Encourage guest participation.

Take the game a step further and invite guests to guess the answers, too. There are two ways to go about this. You can buy printable wedding game templates of shoe game questions and have guests write their answer before the game starts. Then, guests can score their card when the couple plays. You can also distribute items representing each partner, like silly pictures of them or their initials mounted on a stick, so guests can play along with the couple in real time. This is completely optional.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Wedding Shoe Game

The wedding shoe game isn't a complicated activity, but you may still have some lingering questions. Look below to get answers so you can start prepping and playing.

How many questions are needed for the Wedding Shoe Game?

Choose 30 to 40 of your favorite wedding shoe game questions before the celebration. This will allow you to cover several topics, from simple to more personalized questions. If the MC or couple decides to embellish any questions or answers, you should cut down the number of questions to ensure the game doesn't drag on too long.

How do you introduce the Wedding Shoe Game?

The MC should grab a microphone, greet the guests and give a short explanation of the wedding shoe game so the guests and the couple can understand how to play the game. Don't know how to explain the shoe game at a wedding? Use step three listed above in the "How to Play the Wedding Shoe Game" section as your guide.

When do you play the shoe game at a wedding?

Play the wedding shoe game after the first dance once dinner's wrapped up. The best moment in your wedding reception timeline is while the live band is still prepping. You can also use this crowd-pleaser game as a fun filler to keep energy high while the musicians or DJ takes a quick break. The times we'd suggest you avoid playing are during dinner when you and your guests should focus on eating and listening to wedding toasts or at the very end of the night when everyone is winding down.

How long does the shoe game take at a wedding?

The wedding shoe game should last about 10 minutes. Assuming you allow 20 seconds per question, including time for a brief crowd reaction, you'll have enough time to ask approximately 30 questions. If you take a rapid-fire approach, you may be able to squeeze in a few more, but remember, don't read them off so quickly that the guests can't hear the question, especially over lingering laughter.

What to use instead of shoes for the shoe game?

If you don't feel like taking your shoes off for the game, you don't have to—yes, even though it's in the name. Consider using cut-outs of the newlyweds' faces or handheld posters with each person's first initial. We've even seen a couple use sock monkeys to do the job.

What is the last question in the Wedding Shoe Game?

Since there are so many questions and lots of different ways you can go about it, hosts often wonder how to end the wedding shoe game. We suggest ending with a sweet or romantic question to put everyone in a heartwarming mood, like "Who's having the most fun at the wedding right now?"
