Make a printable Mr and Mrs sheet
Type both names and choose the groups you want. The PDF has an answer sheet for the partner who answers in advance, with a tick box for every matching answer, and a page for the shoe game.
How to play Mr and Mrs
There are two ways to play: the classic matching game, which needs a little preparation, and the shoe game, which needs none. Many parties play a short round of each.
| Version | How it works | You need |
|---|---|---|
| Matching game | One partner writes down their answers before the party. At the party the host asks the other partner the same questions and reads out the written answer after each one. A match scores a point. | The answer sheet, filled in secretly beforehand |
| Shoe game | The couple sit back to back holding one shoe of each. The host reads the "Who is more likely to" questions and both raise the shoe of the person they think it is. | Two chairs and two pairs of shoes |
- Send the questions early. Give the answer sheet to the absent partner at least a week ahead, and ask for it back two days before the party.
- Agree a forfeit or a prize. A sip of a drink for every miss is the usual hen party rule; at a family party, give a small prize for five matches in a row.
- Start easy. Open with How you met, where the answers are facts, and keep the opinion questions for later.
- Stop on a good one. End on the question about the secret of a happy marriage and read the answer slowly.
Mr and Mrs: common questions
How many Mr and Mrs questions do you need?
Plan on 15 to 20 questions for a hen party and about 10 for a wedding reception. Allow about a minute for each question, the guess and the reveal, so 15 questions fill roughly a quarter of an hour.
Who answers the Mr and Mrs questions first?
The partner who is not at the party answers first, in writing and in secret. At a hen party that is usually the groom. The partner at the party then tries to match those answers in front of the guests.
Can any couple play Mr and Mrs?
Yes. The questions say your partner and never he or she, so they work for every couple. The printable sheet uses the two first names you type in.
What is the shoe game?
The shoe game is a version of Mr and Mrs with no preparation. The couple sit back to back, each holding one of their own shoes and one of their partner's, and answer every question by raising a shoe.
