Shoe Game

We are doing the shoe game. Im following this post.

I really wouldn't make it longer than 10-15 questions. After that I think it would lose its novelty and people would check out. So -- maybe 10 minutes on your timeline to account for laughter/applause?

Don't make adults play games at your wedding.

That makes sense, 10 minutes sounds good but not overdone. Someone suggested that I leave a question card on each table, there will be around 200 people so it will be twenty tables. I thought maybe just doing questions from the bridal party (bm and gm), how does that sound?

@celia, do you have any idea what it is? It's a game involving the bride and groom. The guests aren't playing Simon Says. It's not checkers or uno.

Never heard of this.

No more than 10 minutes.

Following! It looks like so much fun!!

We did it! It was really fun. We did 10 questions. Make sure you have a good MC otherwise it's really boring!

The premise of the game is the bride has her shoe and one of the grooms and the groom has his and one of the brides. The MC asks questions and whomever is the correct answer, you raise their shoe. Like "who wears the pants in the relationship?"

I would make sure they preview he questions before. I went to one wedding where one funny one was "who is Better in bed?" ... For some crowds that might be hilarious. For others embarrassing. Make sure you knew the questions and your crowd to avoid awkward moments.

Definitely keep it short and make sure your dj has done this before.

@nowaseptmrs How early did you guys do it? After all the dances?

We had a he said-she said game, at my bridal shower. My social circle is too busy eating, dancing, and socializing, at weddings, to play games.

We did this. I was concerned how it would go over, but I had fun with it hehe. I typically wouldn't suggest games but we weren't doing the garter/bouquet thing and wanted something. We had the DJ "play" this towards the end of the reception when things were winding down, I think guests were eating cake. He lowered the music and put the chairs out, then when the game was over he turned the music up and dancing resumed. Edit: stupid spelling

I'm following this post too. I'm planning a beach destination wedding for a small intimate crowd of 20. We are looking for ways to entertain everyone and I think this will be a great idea.

I can't think of anyone coming to our wedding who would want to watch FH and I play a game just the two of us. If you want to have games at your wedding, you might as well have a game show theme. IMHO games are for showers and bachelorettes, not weddings. It's tacky.

Yes. I do know what it is. I don't honestly know why it would be necessary.

Drink,,,,eat,,,,,dance.....repeat as necessary.

@Nichelle--- you don't need to do entertainment beyond giving them really good food and really good drinks. Add dancing if you want people to stick around for longer (or leave quickly like my FH and I would, haha).

OP, I wouldn't do more than ten minutes. As a guest I can see it being cute for about three minutes, and then incredibly boring as you can't participate, you just have to watch. Kind of like long first dances---super boring for guests.

Its going to take at most 10 minutes, I don't see the harm in a couple of laughs during down time like while they are eating cake.

At a shower, ok. At a wedding, not my thing. Guests don't need the extra "entertainment" and all eyes will be on you two all night anyways. I'd put it up there with toasts. Sure guests will politely listen but it's really about the food, drinks, dancing, and celebrating.

Everyone keeps saying 10 minutes... No!

10 QUESTIONS. That's it. Short and sweet. I have done this many times and I promise you, it's *always* a hit. BUT after 3 minutes (about 10 questions), it gets too long, for reals.

Hope this helps!
