Looking to organise the ideal wedding event (whether it's an engagement party, rehearsal dinner, or reception)? Playing the "wedding shoe game" is one way to add some extra fun to your party. This hugely popular activity is sure to make the guests laugh and get the party started. Here's what you need to know.

What Exactly Is the Wedding Shoe Game?

The wedding shoe game is a popular activity that tests the couple's compatibility. The guests of honour will have to answer a variety of questions without seeing each other's answers, from who is the funniest to who is the best cook.

The Wedding Shoe Game: How to Play

Fortunately for you, this activity is one of the simplest games to master in terms of rules. So, when the situation arises, enlist the help and support of friends and family to clear and set up the dance floor.

Step 1: Set the Game

Place two chairs back-to-back in the centre of the dance floor or event space to set up the wedding shoe game. Then, you and your partner should sit on the chairs so that you can't see each other. Next, remove both of your shoes and swap one, resulting in you holding one of your partner's shoes (and vice versa).

Step 2: Select a Host

After you've set up the game, you should choose a host. This individual could be a guest or a member of the bridal party, such as the best man or maid of honour. However, make certain that this person is comfortable speaking in front of a crowd and has a loud voice (or a microphone!).

Step 3: Begin Asking Questions

Now the real fun begins! The host should begin asking questions about the couple. One question might be, 'Who made the first move?' Throughout the game, the caller should ask 20 to 50 questions, with a short pause between each one to allow you and your partner to respond, as well as time for guests to react.

Step 4: Raise the Shoes

However, you are not permitted to shout out your answers when responding to the questions. This is where the shoes come into play! When a question is asked, you should raise the shoe of the person described in the question.

This is a fun game to keep your guests engaged and it can make your event more joyful. There are instances people often run out of ideas for their special day so the fun games can keep couples occupied and keep the wedding agenda sorted.
