20+ Top Wedding Trivia Games for a Memorable Love Celebration

Most weddings tend to follow a pretty standard program from beginning to end. However, throwing in a wedding-themed trivia game or two is one way to break with tradition and make your wedding more exciting.

Wedding trivia games can spice up a wedding without making the event disorderly. They’re also a great way to break the ice at the beginning and let the guests get to know the couple even better.

In this article, we will show you some good wedding trivia games to try out at your wedding, and we will also give you a few tips on organizing one of these.

Wedding Trivia Games for Memorable Ceremonies

The basic idea of trivia is questions and answers relating to a selected theme. And if you’re playing wedding trivia, all the questions have to have to be related to weddings or the couple.

When setting up the game, you want to make it as interesting as possible, so here are some tips to keep in mind.

• Try to strike a balance between entertaining and challenging questions. If the questions are too easy to figure out, not only will the game be less exciting, but it will also be a rowdy time as everyone tries to answer first.

• Have some neat prizes on hand for the winners. Preferably, the game should follow a points-based system that allows for grand and consolation prizes.

• Avoid a stuffy and boring game by playing some good music in the background, preferably one that’s a bit but not too upbeat. 

That said, let’s now check out some cool wedding trivia games you might try.

1. Bride and Groom Personal Facts Trivia 

If you’re doing multiple types of trivia at a wedding, personal facts trivia is one type you should not forget to include. The basic premise of this trivia game is to celebrate and reward familiarity and friendship with the couple. 

The way to play the game is simple, though not necessarily standard. The master of ceremonies, or one half of the couple, asks the guests a series of questions about, well, the couple.

Guests can then try to answer these questions, and each correct answer gets one or more points. The points pile up, and at the end of the game, the couple reveals the correct answers. The guest with the most points then gets the grand prize.

Now, as we’ve pointed out, the way of the game isn’t necessarily standardized, so you can always vary the rules however you want. For instance, you can have the guests each make some personal fact statements about the couple, say ten statements from each person.

Then the guest who makes the most correct statements wins. Either way, the whole point is to not only have fun seeing who knows the couple best but also allow the audience to learn more about them. 

Here are some sample questions you can try for personal facts trivia. Note that they all revolve around the romantic theme. 

• What is the groom’s favorite love song?
• What is the bride’s favorite romance movie?
• What are the respective birthdays of the bride and groom?

2. Couple’ History Trivia 

Just like the personal facts trivia, this game also tests and rewards familiarity with the couple—in this case, their personal history. The questions must thus all revolve around the personal histories of each half of the couple.

This kind of trivia will especially be easy for the closest friends of the bride and the groom, so you had better throw in some solid trick questions too. You can take a true fact about the couple and mix it with some half-truths to see who sees through it. 

So, how do you play? It’s pretty much the same as normal trivia. You ask the questions, and the guests try to gain points by answering. Additionally, you can flip the rules and have the guests fire off, say, ten interesting personal history facts about the couple that they know.

Then, you award points according to correctness. You can also make the game more specific to the friends of the couple. For instance, you can have the couple’s closest friends each state the most interesting facts they know.

Then, you can grade what they say and award points. In any case, here are some sample questions for personal history trivia.

• Where did the groom go to college?
• How many degrees does the bride have?
• Where was the bride born?
• When was the bride born?

3. Couple’s Relationship Trivia 

This trivia game is an opportunity for guests who met the couple either in adult life or while they were building their relationship. Why should the close friends who’ve known the couple since forever get all the chances for prizewinning, eh?

The idea of couples’ relationship trivia is to see who knows the most about the couple’s relationship. It can also be a nice time to help the couple reminisce on the times they’ve shared up to this point.

So, all the questions must relate to the couple’s relationship, both past and present. Some great questions for this trivia include:

• Where did the couple first meet?
• Who said hi first?
• When and where was the couple’s first date?
• Which half of the couple said “I love you” first?
• When did the marriage proposal happen?

You can also throw in trick questions to spice things up and engage the guests even more. 

4. Marriage Trivia 

Marriage trivia revolves less around the couple’s past and more around their future. It’s a chance for friends and family to know some things about the marriage going forward and in a fun way.

The questions can be about anything from the couple’s future childbearing plans and where they’re going for their honeymoon to where they’ll live and even their long-term future plans. 

However, not all couples will necessarily be comfortable exposing all these details to others. After all, it may not even only be friends and family in attendance.

If you’re having marriage trivia at your wedding, you can limit the type of questions to avoid making the atmosphere a tad awkward by declining to answer a particular question. For instance, you can have the questions written and submitted, then select the ones you feel comfortable answering. 

5. Quizzing the Bride and Groom 

Now, it’s time to flip the script and have the bride and groom answer some questions themselves. There are many different ways to organize this trivia, but of course, you should try one that doesn’t make everything rowdy.

One way is to have some selected guests take turns asking the bride and groom some trivia questions. These can be about each other or basically anything else.

Alternatively, you can have the guests write one question each on a card and drop it in a trivia basket before the reception begins. Then, at trivia time, as many random cards as time allows can be picked from the basket, and the bride and/or groom must answer.

Of course, the couple is already getting gifts, but a few extra won gifts won’t hurt either. Otherwise, there can always be one funny penalty or the other for failing a question.

Either way, what’s most important is that the guests get to know even more about the couple, adding to the spirit of the event.

6. Romantic Songs Trivia 

Romantic song wedding trivia games can be for both the guests and the couple alike; in fact, everyone can participate. The idea is to have a series of trivia questions about romantic songs, especially wedding ones. 

One way to go about it is to name a song and ask the guests or the couple–or just anyone who wants to try–to guess it. Alternatively, you can play a snippet of a popular romantic song, preferably one from the previous centuries, and challenge the guests to guess it.

Moreover, you don’t necessarily have to confine yourself to songs, as you can always include poetry. Recite a few lines and have especially the couple of the day guess which poet it’s from.

7. Wedding Jeopardy 

You can also play this very interactive and unique type of trivia at a wedding. It flips the traditional question-and-answer format and replaces it with a reverse kind of trivia.

Instead of questions to answer, the guests will get a series of general clues or some facts about someone or something marriage-related. Then, they must figure out what ideas, persons, or things those clues are about. 

You can also modify the game to make it even more fun, depending on what will be most appropriate for the occasion. 

These are some wedding Jeopardy questions you can use:

• “This teen couple share the most well-known tragic love in of known literature.”

(Answer: Romeo and Juliet)

8. Romantic Customs Trivia

You can also organize a trivia game based on known romantic customs past and present. Everyone knows one or more romantic customs they’re curious about, and it would be much fun to have everyone test their knowledge of these things.

The format can be tweaked as you like, and there is an infinite number of customs to quiz about. Here are some you might try for wedding trivia.

• Where does the idea of chivalry come from?
• Who first wore a white wedding gown to her wedding? 
• How old is the custom of giving wedding rings? 

9. Romantic Movie Trivia

The Romance movie genre makes a great basis for a trivia game, as there are countless movies about love. Romantic movie trivia will test your guest’s familiarity with the most celebrated movies in the genre.

The gameplay is quite simple: You tell a scene or summarize a popular romance movie, and the guests must guess the title.

10. Romance Geography

Romance Geography 101 is another great trivia to try out. It can even be a great way to give the couple some ideas for places to visit on their honeymoon. 

To play the game, one person must bring questions about famous places in romantic history, and the other guests must provide the answers.

11. Lover’s Cuisine Trivia

As any good romantic knows, some delicacies have ‘lovebird’ energy all about them. Want to have fun testing your and your guests’ knowledge of the special lovers’ delicacies?

Then, this trivia game is just the thing you want; you might find that you quiz up an appetite for early refreshments. Here’s one example for lovers of cuisine trivia.

12. Wedding Bingo

This fun romance adaptation of bingo is a marvelous trivia game to engage your guests. The idea is to print out a bunch of cards containing words, phrases, or names relating to weddings.

You can then call out these words randomly, and the first team of players to get up to correctly get up to a fixed number wins the game

13. Wedding Mad Libs Trivia

This trivia game is probably one of the best for laughs and will get everyone merry in no time. The idea is to take a real story about the couple (or some found romantic story) and replace some words and phrases with blank spaces.

The guests can then take turns suggesting funny words to fill them up, and in the end, the story is read out loud to everyone’s amusement.

14. Wedding Charades

Charades is a game that lends itself very easily to the informative and fun nature of trivia. Instead of movie scenes and the like, you can have the actors on each team of charades try to portray a popular bit of romance trivia, such as a famous romantic couple or a wedding tradition, and the other members guess it.

15. The Half-Truth Trivia

A game of half-truth trivia is another fun way to test how much the guests know about the couple. You play the game by making a series of partially true statements about the couple. The guests can then gain points by pointing out which parts are correct and which are not.

16. Wedding Trivial Pursuit

You can also make your own romantic-themed version of the popular board game Trivial Pursuit. All you have to do is design your own board out of cardboard paper and make a few tokens.

Players roll the dice and move accordingly, answering the questions they land on and gaining or losing points accordingly.

17. Wedding Squares

This game is a cross between romance trivia and tic-tac-toe and will prove to be loads of fun.  To play Wedding Squares, players are grouped into two teams, one for X and one for O.

The guests will sit in 3×3 squares and take turns answering assigned questions. If a team gets an answer right, they mark the square with their letter; otherwise, it passes to the other team.

18. Complete-the-Quote Trivia

This game will be an absolute blast for guests who love romantic poetry. The idea is to divide the guests into two teams; then, in turn, members of each team make half of a romantic quote, and the other team has to complete it or lose a point.

19. Wedding Word Search

If any logophiles are among your guests, this game will be an absolute blast for them. You can play wedding word search by making a grid of alphabets with romance-related words hidden among them.

Everyone must then take turns and fixed time limits to find as many of these words as they can. The bigger the grid, the more the fun.

20. Linkee

Have you ever tried the popular Linkee game before? Well, how about your very own version, tailored for a perfect fun and educational wedding shower night? 

The way to play is pretty much the same as normal Linkee; only the theme is romantic. You cut out some cards and write four or more words or questions with one link to their correct answers.

For instance, four words or phrases like ‘all night,’ ‘gift giving,’ ‘traditionally all-girls,’ and ‘indoors’ can be linked to the answer, ‘wedding shower.’ Any player who guesses the link wins the corresponding card and the points.

21. General Trivia 

While your trivia game absolutely has to be wedding-themed, there’s no reason it can’t include everything here at once. A mix of different trivia types will be loads of fun as long as it’s well-moderated.

You can ask not only questions about the couple, romantic song, and romantic history but also about other related things such as:

• Pop romance culture
• Romance movies
• Romantic places and sites
• Lovers’ delicacies

Additionally, where possible, you can mix trivia with other games to create unique and memorable games. For instance, you could merge charades or mad libs with trivia to make it even more fun. 

Closing Thoughts 

Wedding trivia games are fun and interactive ways to let the audience know the couple and add to the lightheartedness of the occasion. However, understand that they’re not the only type of wedding game you can use.

Other game types like scavenger hunts and mad libs can also create a memorable wedding experience if organized right. 

However, for an orderly yet fun wedding, you can’t go wrong with wedding trivia games. Many of them even involve a broad enough range of ideas that they can be truly educational for the guests as well. And so, try one or more of these trivia to make a unique and memorable event.
