Mr & Mrs Quiz: Questions and How to Run It

The name is traditional, but the format is not limited to a bride and groom. It works for any couple, and it can fit a hen party, bachelor or bachelorette party, bridal shower, or a mixed gathering before the wedding. Call it a partner quiz, newlywed quiz, or whatever feels natural to the group.

The important part is that the answer key comes from the partner you interview before the party, not from a template. Sample questions can give you a structure, but they cannot tell you whether that person would choose a city break or a week by the sea.

How a Mr & Mrs quiz works

The classic pre-wedding version is simple:

Choose the partner who will provide the answers before the party.
Ask them the questions privately and record their exact choices.
Build the quiz without showing those answers to the partner who will play.
Let the guest of honour and the rest of the group guess.
Reveal the original answer, ideally with a short explanation or story.

Get the real answers before you build the quiz

Ask the answering partner each question over a call, in a message, or through a short form. Do not suggest which answer would be funniest, and give them room to reject or rewrite anything that feels too private.

Write down their wording as well as their choice. “A night at home” becomes much better material if the full answer is “a night at home, takeaway on the sofa, and absolutely no plans tomorrow.” That detail can become part of the reveal even if the quiz still uses short multiple-choice options.

Any answer marked as correct in a ready-made template is only a placeholder. Replace it before playing. The only correct option is the one the partner actually chose, and if their answer does not fit the sample choices, change the choices.

Turn the examples into a fair answer key

A strong multiple-choice question has one answer the partner clearly chose and three alternatives that feel possible. If two options could both be true, combine them or rewrite the question. The reveal should settle the debate, not start an argument about whether the scoring was fair.

Use a simple process for every question:

Ask the partner for their answer without showing the options first.
Put that answer into clear, short wording.
Add plausible alternatives that are distinct from it.
Mark the confirmed response as correct in wiwo.
Send the finished questions and planned reveals back to the answering partner for one final comfort check.

Ten to fifteen strong questions usually play better than all twenty. Start with easy preferences, move into habits and shared memories, and finish with something warm or slightly ridiculous. A good final reveal leaves the guest of honour smiling, not defending themselves.

Keep the questions personal, not exposing

Skip exes, sex, money, family tension, wedding-budget disagreements, and anything one partner has asked you not to use. Be careful with questions about children, health, or future plans unless you know the couple is happy to discuss them in that room.

The safest test is whether the answering partner would enjoy explaining the answer in front of everyone. If not, choose another question. Recognition is fun; forced disclosure is not.

Run the quiz without letting phones take over

For a live party, have the host read each question aloud while guests tap their answer in wiwo. Then ask everyone to look up for the reveal. A short voice note or video from the partner who answered beforehand can work brilliantly, but a written answer read by the host is enough.

Keep the phone part brief: answer, look up, react, move on. Guests join in their browser, so there is no app to download, and the host can keep the pace moving from one place. The partner’s explanation and the conversation in the room should remain the main event.

If the schedule is already busy, use a self-paced quiz before the party and reveal the funniest results when everyone is together. The same principle applies: the screen collects the guesses; the people create the moment.

Set it up in wiwo

Create a quiz and enter the options you confirmed with the answering partner. Select the real answer for each scored question, add a photo where it helps the story, and rehearse the reveals before the party.

The template gets you past the blank page. The answering partner supplies the truth. That distinction is what turns a generic Mr & Mrs quiz into a game that feels like it belongs to this particular wedding.
