Wedding quiz: format, questions and ideas
A quiz about the couple has the whole room laughing – and everyone joins in, not just the front rows. Here is how a wedding quiz works, which questions go down well and how guests answer live on their phones.
How does a wedding quiz work?
Someone starts the question – the couple, the best man or maid of honour, or the DJ – and the big screen shows it above the slideshow. Guests answer on the page they know from the QR code. After a minute, the answer is revealed: the correct one lights up green, and the bars show how the room voted. After the last question comes the leaderboard with the top ten – if points are tied, the faster player wins.
Twelve questions for the wedding quiz
The best questions are personal, have a clear answer and a little story behind them that you can share when you reveal the answer.
- Where did we go on our first date?
- Who proposed to whom – and where?
- How long have we known each other?
- Which of us cooks more often?
- Where did we go on our first holiday together?
- Who’s the first to wake up in the morning?
- What song was playing when we had our first kiss?
- Who was the first to say ‘I love you’?
- What was our first pet together – or which one would we like to have?
- Poll: Who will be the first to cry today?
- Poll: Who will be the last to dance tonight?
- Poll: Where should we go on our honeymoon?
When does the quiz fit into the evening?
Ideally between two courses or after dinner, before the dance floor opens – then everyone is seated and looking at the screen. Ten questions take about fifteen minutes. Better to split the quiz into two short rounds than to bring the evening to a halt.
Paper quiz or live on your phone?
| Paper-based quiz | Live quiz on your mobile | |
|---|---|---|
| Taking part | A pen and piece of paper on every table | Scan the QR code, tap an answer |
| Scoring | Counting by hand | Immediately |
| Result | Read out loud | Bars on the screen |
| Leaderboard | Lots of work for the best man and maid of honour | Automatically, with medals |
A paper quiz has its charm at small tables. From around thirty guests, the live quiz saves the best man and maid of honour the counting – and everyone sees the result at the same time.
How to set up the wedding quiz
- 1 Create the questions in your stream’s remote control and mark the correct answer – or none, which makes it a poll.
- 2 During the party, keep the big screen running and start a question.
- 3 Guests answer on their phones on the upload page; you see live how many have answered.
- 4 Show the correct answer, move on to the next question and display the leaderboard at the end.
What the weddingphotos.live quiz can do
- Up to 50 questions with two to six answers, prepared before the party
- A quiz with the correct answer or a poll without one
- Control from your phone: start, reveal the answer, leaderboard, end
- Guests answer without an app, one answer per phone
- In polls, the bars grow in real time; in quizzes, the distribution remains hidden until the answer is revealed
- Leaderboard of the top ten; ties are decided by speed
Common questions
How many questions should a wedding quiz have?
Five to ten. Any more than that takes too long – better to do two short rounds spread out over the evening.
Who hosts the wedding quiz?
Usually the best man, the maid of honour or the DJ. It is controlled from a phone – no laptop at the projector needed.
Do guests have to give their names?
No. The name is optional and is used solely for the leaderboard; if no name is provided, ‘Guest’ will appear there.
Can guests vote instead of answering a quiz?
Yes. Without a correct answer, the question becomes a poll, and the screen shows live how the audience is voting.
