Prizes / gifts for Groom's speech "quiz"

Hi all,

I am getting married in under two weeks (scream!). I have been planning my speech as the groom, and decided to do something a little different. I am going to be doing a kind of quiz, the format I have gone with is to give each of the guests 2 different coloured cards. One red, one blue. The idea is I will read out a question (e.g. who said "I love you first?") and everyone can put up a card where red means they think I did, and blue means they think the bride did.

First off, I would love to hear some opinions on how you think this would work. Secondly, should I be giving out a prize to anyone who gets all the questions right? I was only planning to do 5 or 6 questions, all of which will tie back to a little anecdote about us, so I didn't want to do too many to as to avoid people getting bored.

Hope this makes sense and all advice is welcome!

    Hi! Congratulations! I LOVE this idea and think it will work really well! We played the same game at my hen and got my fiance to answer them too - so much fun. Honestly even better doing it at the actual wedding! I just wonder - because it might be that lots of people get them all right, so something small would make sense - if you could just bulk buy some cheap 'winners' medals or something? You can get them super cheap on amazon and then it's something fun for them to wear for the rest of the night?

    Thank you so much for the response. So glad someone thinks this is a good idea and it will work! Easier to doubt these plans as they get closer to being reality.


    The medal thing is a really good idea, I'll look into that thank you!
    I had been thinking of being very cheeky and telling guests there would be a bottle of champagne to anyone that gets them all right... But then putting in a trick question, such as "which one of us has been arrested"... "Sorry, trick question, neither of us have but I just wanted to make sure nobody could claim that prize" or some such, which would hopefully get a few laughs

    Great idea!

    For prizes, maybe have something in the middle of each table wrapped up, and there’s a winner per table and they have to keep track of who wins themselves (saves you having to do it). They then open the prize at the end - maybe make it something shareable (like chocolates) in case of multiple winners.

    Sounds good to me but please make sure that your photographer is given a "heads up" on what is happening especially moments that may get a laugh.

    Perhaps a good joke would be the winner does indeed get a bottle of champagne but get yourself one of those single serving 1 glass bottles Smiley xd

    Love Bill's idea for the mini champagne! You could get a big box of Celebrations or something and chuck out little chocolates to the winners of each round?
