How to Use These Questions

The easiest way to turn these into an actual game is to use My Wedding Trivia. You copy your 10–20 favorite questions into the dashboard, set your answers, and the platform handles everything else — QR code generation, the live leaderboard, and the winner announcement at the end.

Guests play from their phones without downloading anything. The game works in crowd-controlled mode (guests answer at their own pace during cocktail hour) or live mode (everyone plays simultaneously while the host reads questions on the microphone).

Either way, setup takes about 10 minutes, and the laughs it creates last the entire reception.
