So, some friends are getting married soon.
I've been asked to organise the questions so that they can play the shoe game at the reception (wedding is in a hotel if that makes any difference).
I'd never heard of this, so out came google:
"Never heard of it? Here’s how it works: During your reception, after you’ve enjoyed some dinner, dancing, and drinks, place two chairs back-to-back on the dance floor for the bride and groom. Remove both of your shoes, then trade a shoe with your new spouse so that you’re holding one of each. Then, have a designated person ask a series of questions about the two of you and your relationship (i.e.. “Who will be doing most of the cooking?” "Who said 'I love you' first?"). After each question, hold up the shoe of the person you think is the best answer to the question.
.....
Sometimes there will be disagreements; questions like, 'Who is the better dresser?' or, 'Who is the better kisser?' The fun part about it is that you can't see what the other person is answering, so many times there is so much laughter and, as the bride, you aren't sure if he answered the same as you or the opposite!"
(From here: www.bridalguide.com/blogs/bridal-buzz/the-shoe-game)
I've read a few descriptions, and all seem to suggest that this will provoke gales of laughter, a common phrase being "hilarity ensues!"
But I just can't see it. Am I missing something?
How can I make sure this isn't a damp squib and hilarity really does ensue? Obviously I'm trying to tailor the questions to them which should help. Also trying to think of a way to involve the rest of the guests, but short of asking them to suggestion (clean!) questions, I'm a bit stumped.
Has anyone had this at their own wedding? Or seen it done at one? Was it really hilarious?
I'd welcome any advice!
Thanks
