Before the wedding, young people already know each other. They know the character traits of their spouse, taste preferences, and literary preferences. However, it is impossible to know every detail down to the smallest detail.
How impeccably the young man knows the betrothed, and the young man’s bride, will help determine tricky questions for the newlyweds to know each other. They form the basis of various wedding competitions; they are used during the ransom of the bride or for her release, when, according to an ancient tradition, the young wife is stolen during the festive banquet.
List of questions and quiz
A quiz for newlyweds at a wedding is interesting not only to the heroes of the occasion, who will eventually get to know the chosen one even better, but also to the guests, for whom it will be entertainment.
The test for a husband and wife, as far as they know each other, consists of both serious and funny questions. Everyone who came to congratulate the spouses will listen to the answers with interest. Guests will happily laugh at the most funny of them.

How to write a guest profile - sample
So, that very day has come, the banquet is ready to burst into joy, the toastmaster is ready to begin his duties, but... something/someone is in the way.
He cannot understand who this pretty elderly grandmother is, who painted herself bright purple for such an event and is doing her best to attract attention to her person. Or that girl on the side in a miniskirt? Who is she?
Is it the bride's unmarried older sister or just a slightly jealous friend? The toastmaster needs all these nuances to avoid unpleasant incidents. Without at least minimal information about the guests of the bride and groom, the host will feel like a small child and will not be able to control sudden situations that threaten to result in a scandal.
In the vast majority of weddings, there are at least two groups of guests who don't know each other.
One of the simplest and most obvious cases is two “clans” - the bride’s family and the groom’s family.
Many relatives from different families, especially those from other cities, have not even met each other. Groups of friends, acquaintances and colleagues are usually added to them.
The unknown causes mixed feelings and a certain wariness in a person. Having introduced the guests, you can count on some kind of sympathy credit, which will not hurt at the beginning of the celebration.
That is why you need to create brief characteristics of the invited guests.
It is advisable for the newlyweds themselves to draw up the characteristics.
However, given that young people may have very little information about some of the invited people, their loved ones should help them with this - mother/father, grandmother/grandfather. In fact, what can a bride, for example, know about her cousin from Urengoy, whom she saw twice in her life, and whom her mother decided to invite to her beautiful daughter’s wedding?
Or about dad’s colleague Veniamin Alexandrovich, whom she had never seen at all? In addition, by compiling descriptions of the guests together, the newlyweds themselves will get a certain idea about those of them who are unfamiliar to them.
When writing characteristics of guests, it is advisable to be brief, otherwise the introduction ceremony may drag on.
However, the description must contain basic information. The following plan can be used as an example:
- Full Name;
- connection between the guest and the bride and groom (relative, classmate, fellow student, work colleague, etc.);
- type of professional activity;
- hobbies, any talents;
- dignity as a person.
As additional information, you can indicate the zodiac sign, the year according to the horoscope; perhaps this information will be useful to the toastmaster for some game scenario. Guests must be introduced following the rules of decency. Representatives of the older generation (grandparents, parents, simply older people) are called by their first name and patronymic, without familiarity, with due respect, but without excessive stiffness, which would be inappropriate at a fun holiday.
This equally applies to guests of honor - a favorite teacher, senior work colleagues, superiors.
The younger generation (brother, sister, close friends) can be introduced in an informal style, jokingly.
Young people are not particularly scrupulous about following the rules of etiquette, and a few jokes (of course, without offensive or ambiguous attacks) always add fun and a festive mood.
Guests, as a rule, gather before the bride and groom arrive - this is a good time for the toastmaster to say hello and get to know them better. In any case, he needs to be among the guests, introduce himself, make a couple of compliments, praise the children, and try to get close to at least some of the guests. As a result, several goals will be achieved at once:
- even if it’s a stretch, but thanks to this the toastmaster will not seem like a complete stranger to the guests; at the subconscious level, for most of them he is already “one of our own”;
- when talking with guests, he may ask: which of them wants to say a toast, perhaps someone wants to convey congratulations and greetings from a relative who, for some reason, is deprived of the opportunity to attend the wedding;
- also, in the process of informal communication with guests, the host can learn some funny family story, interesting information about the guest himself, something funny or simply interesting about the bride and groom;
- While chatting casually with guests, the toastmaster will also be able to supplement the information presented in the description with personal impressions.
Information obtained as a result of such “intelligence” should be used delicately and be sure to clarify whether the person to whom this information relates has any objections.
It is necessary to introduce the invitees according to a pre-thought-out scenario, agreed upon with the newlyweds, so that the acquaintance does not turn into a tedious, drawn-out procedure, which, moreover, may turn out to be useless in a large company. The process itself should be fun, easy and interesting. This can be done at different times and in different ways:
- at the very beginning of the banquet, following a certain order - the heroes of the occasion, their parents, closest relatives, friends;
- during the first table - in random order under the guise of a comic quiz, this is a good moment, because usually nothing special happens at weddings at this time;
- During the holiday, guests, at the direction of the toastmaster, having previously introduced themselves, participate in competitions and say wishes.
If there are really a lot of guests, then it makes sense to order cards or badges with their names - this will help avoid awkward situations. If there are a large number of guests, you can also introduce them to each other in two ways at the same time.
Parents, close relatives and guests of honor are introduced to everyone at the beginning, and the rest of the guests are introduced throughout the evening, during various games and competitions. This approach will avoid boredom and a feeling of officialdom.
How to prepare the application form?
An entertaining questionnaire for the bride and groom will also help test their knowledge about the spouses. To compile it, it is recommended to enlarge and print a joint photograph of the couple, processing the photo with attractive frames. Stickers are placed on the photo. Then the newlyweds are asked one by one questions from the questionnaire. This is done so that the young one is responsible for the young one, and vice versa. If the answer is correct, one sticker is removed from the photo, and this continues until the entire photo card is revealed.

Cool questions for the groom about the bride
If at a wedding there is a competition with the theft of a bride, then to organize the ransom, you will need to know what questions you can ask the groom. You can put them just so that the wedding is fun:
- What city does your wife dream of visiting?
- What does the bride prioritize: children or a professional career?
- What did the young wife dream of when she was little?

Interview as the best way to introduce guests
“Another format that I and guests really like in all the countries where I have done weddings is interviews. I want to emphasize that this is not the case when I ask you to leave wishes as a souvenir on camera, these are unexpected and funny questions. For example, “what cartoon character do you associate the bride with,” “what movie character do you associate the groom with,” “tell us about how you met,” “the most curious incident that happened to you with newlyweds.” During the answers, a lot of details emerge that inspire new questions. Then all this can be used to edit a congratulations film, but this is not necessary. The main thing is that this is a great way to keep guests busy, chat with them and, to some extent, give the newlyweds the opportunity to take a break from endless attention,” says host Andrei Melamed.

Wedding riddles about the groom with a trick
Separately, prepare funny questions for the bride. But for the tasks to be creative , it is not necessary to use standard riddles, such as how many dumplings can your loved one eat at one time? It will be more interesting if you invite the young woman to draw the eyes of her beloved or show her photographs from which she must choose the one that depicts the eyes of her husband. Do the same trick with the hand or foot prints of your chosen one.
Questions and answers for the bride and groom should not offend or embarrass them, cause resentment or ruin their mood. Therefore, discuss everything thoroughly with the newlyweds and find out if there is any topic that they would not like to talk about.
Characteristics of guests: what the host should know
So, what is the minimum information you can provide to the presenter:
— Last name and first name.
- Age.
- Who is the relationship of the bride and groom?
— How long have I known the couple?
— Occupation and favorite hobby.
— Several interesting and even extravagant facts from different areas of life.
And the main point: if your presenter is a real expert in his field, you have nothing to worry about. He will not allow conflicts, will deal with all the awkward moments, will redirect the attention of the guests and will hold your celebration in such a way that it will be remembered by both you and your loved ones as an incredibly sincere, atmospheric and emotional event.
