How to run couple trivia at a reception
The game is simple: guests guess facts about the couple, the couple’s real answers are revealed, and the table that knew them best wins something small. Four things separate the version people talk about from the one that fizzles.
- 1
Pick eight to twelve, not all of them
A round that runs longer than one course loses the room. Mix two or three easy ones everybody gets with a few that only the inner circle knows.
- 2
Get the real answers before the day
The couple answers privately, in writing, a week out. On the night, nobody is checking with the bride between courses.
- 3
Play it during dinner
Guests answer while they eat. Reveal between courses or right before the first dance, when everyone is seated and looking at the same place.
- 4
Score the wrong answers, not the right ones
The right answers are the same every time. The funniest wrong answer, read aloud next to the truth, is the moment the room remembers.
The questions
These are the 51 questions couples can tap into their own trivia round on Partake, listed here in full. Select the ones you want and print the list for your MC, or for the tables.
0 questions selected
How they met
The origin story. Guests who have heard it a dozen times still get half of these wrong.
The first date
Daily life
The ones the room argues about. Their friends will have opinions, and their parents will have evidence.
Favorites
Family and friends
Big moments
The future
Who is more likely to
Fast, funny, and safe for a mixed room. Good openers before the harder questions.

Run it live, without the paper
On Partake, guests answer these from their phones after scanning the QR code on their table. Nothing to download. The DJ opens a reveal dashboard, surfaces the funniest wrong answers next to the truth, and the whole room reacts together. The couple writes and answers their own questions, so the reveal is always theirs, and every guess is saved in the memory portal afterward.
Couple trivia is included in Partake Experience, $199 paid once, along with the live photo wall, Photo Challenges, the Fill-in Story Game, and the video guestbook. Build your wedding free. Pay once when you go live.
