The "Shoe Game"

The Ice Breaker Game everyone pays attention to. It's fun and easy to do, usually done between cake cutting and the garter/bouquet toss. Here's how it works...

1. The bride and groom sit in chairs on the dance floor back to back.
2. They exchange one shoe each, so both have one female shoe and one male.
3. The DJ/MC asks the questions below and both the bride and groom raise the shoe of the person they believe to be the correct answer.



(this can also be done with pink and blue paddles or some other type of creative indicator of his/her answer)


Another great idea is to bring in the parents of the bride and groom if both are living and still married. All 3 couples can answer the questions together so the audience can see how a newly married couple compares to two that have been together for years. Usually the parents are brought in after the first few questions are answered by the newly weds.

A Great Idea!

Instead of sparklers or bubbles, the guest wrote well wishes on paper lanterns and launched them as the bride and groom exited the venue and made their way to the get away car!


Wish Lantern Orders

It was exciting for all of the guests and made for a beautiful back drop as the bride and groom left for their honeymoon.

These can be use in addition to a firework display to completely illuminate the sky for that perfect last picture of the reception.
