What is Wedding Trivia?
Wedding trivia is a live group game played at wedding events where guests compete to answer questions about the couple, wedding traditions, and pop culture. Think of it as a pub quiz tailored specifically for your wedding — but instead of random trivia, the questions are about the people everyone came to celebrate.
Traditionally played with paper answer sheets and a MC reading questions aloud, modern wedding trivia is now played entirely on guests' smartphones. Everyone joins the same live game by scanning a QR code or entering a short code — no app download required. Questions appear on their phones. A real-time leaderboard shows after each answer.
The result is a competitive, engaging, and genuinely memorable activity that gets tables talking, encourages mingling between both sides of the family, and gives the couple a fun way to share their story with everyone in the room.

Bridal Shower Trivia Guide →Virtual Bridal Shower Trivia
Best for: Remote guests on Zoom
Timing: Any time during the virtual event
Ideal questions: 15
Share your screen on Zoom so everyone sees the leaderboard. Zoom guests click a link in chat; in-person guests scan a QR code. Both play simultaneously.
Virtual Bridal Shower Game Guide →Rehearsal Dinner Trivia
Best for: Wedding party and immediate family
Timing: After dinner, before or after toasts
Ideal questions: 20
Smaller crowd means you can use funnier, more personal questions. The rehearsal dinner crowd typically knows the couple well, so challenge them.

Step 1: Choose your questions
Start with your event type. Reception trivia needs accessible questions anyone can answer. Bridal shower trivia can be more personal. Rehearsal dinner trivia can go deeper since the crowd knows the couple well. Use our free question lists below, or write custom questions about the specific couple.
Aim for 15–20 questions for a live hosted round. That's about 15–20 minutes of play time. Use a mix of categories so both sides of the family feel included.
Step 2: Set up your game
Create a free account on MyWeddingTrivia, add your questions, and customize the look. You can use our template library to pull in pre-written questions or write your own. The whole setup takes about 5 minutes.
Step 3: Share the join code
Print QR codes for reception tables, or project the join link on a screen. Guests scan or type the short code on any phone browser — no app, no account, no friction. They're in and playing within 30 seconds.
Step 4: Host the game live
Project the game on a screen (or TV at smaller events). The MC reads each question aloud while guests answer on their phones. After the countdown, the leaderboard updates — guests cheer, groan, and trash-talk. Repeat for 15–20 questions.
Step 5: Crown the winner
The final leaderboard reveals who knows the couple best. Award a prize — gift cards, a bottle of wine, or just the glory of being crowned "The Wedding Expert." The couple can reveal their own answers to show what they said, which always gets the biggest reactions.
