This past Saturday I had a wedding reception that I tried two new things. The first new thing was the steal the Boquet from the bride game, this is totally staged where a girl runs from the pack and steal the flowers at the boquet toss> then I play the Benny Hill theme at the moment of theft> SWING ...HIT... out of the park, this went over super wel, lots of laughs. The Second was the Newly Wed game 10 questions such as who has the smelliest feet who will control the check book ect. The funniest question I asked was who among you two has a friend or a relative the is most likely to show up on Springer? My couple had signs to hold up for their answers. Wow this was a hit! (thanks Peter Merry Book) The rest of the night the bride and groom wanted club music and thats what they got, I the king of cheese did not play the Electric Slide:sqerr: or the YMCA:sqembarrassed: or the Macarena:sqeek: Im not bragging but I beatmixed alot and kept my floor filled with the exception of about two songs:sqbiggrin:
 
I've been doing the newlywed game for about 6 yrs. I have them holding 2 shoes, black & white. It's easier for guests to see rather than holding up a sign or dolls.

If answer best describes:
Bride: White shoe
Groom: Black shoe
 
I like that shoe idea bill alot we went out and bought 5 different signs two signs that said "me" one sign that said ''him" and one that said " her" I also had a sign for me that said thats what he or she thinks! you have any other ideas on this bill to make it better thanks !!!!
 
Barry:

You're the man!

I have a finalization coming up on the 10th, I'm going to bring up the bouquet steal.

Can you post the list of questions you used for the Newly Wed Game?

And yes, the PM book has lots of great ideas and one really bad section, LOL. Stay tuned for Part Deux of my review...
 
Bil...

Do you have them stand back to back? What are some of the questions you ask?
 
After one of the girls steals the boquet I played the Benny Hill Theme and she ran out of sight, she quickly returned and done it for real. This really was a fun gag that really stepped up the atmosphere. I wish I could have talked the bride into chasing her.

They sit in chairs, back to back out on the dancefloor.
This usually takes place after dinner, just before their 1st dance.

If you try & do it later, it tends to break the flow of everything.
It works better before all the dancing begins.

I didn't know it was in Peter's book. Like I said, I have been doing this since about 2000. I saw a version of this done by a DJ on a cruise ship. He had them write down their answers. I told my wife this would be cool to do at weddings, but it needed to be at a faster pace & not so dragged out. (at weddings guests would get bored) I thought using shoes works best...all the guests can see the shoes easier (than reading a sign or waiting for them to write it out & the DJ to read it) & everyone can follow along better.
 
List of questions

Not in original order.

1. who was the biggest catch..... groom said the bride people went ..ahhhhhhh

2. Who has the smelliest feet.....Bride said Groom ..Groom said bride...crowd laughed

3. Who will control the check book.. Bride quickly lifted answer up groom fumbled around and I said let it go Jamie let it go. crowd laughed.

4. Who has a friend or family member that is most likely to show up on Springer they both said each other crowd laughed

5. Who is going to change the toilet paper roll..Groom held up bride sign, Bride laughed and gave up..

6. Who is going to wear the pants in the family.. of course they both said themselves .. crowd told Jamie (groom) that wasnt going to happen another funny momement

7. Who is the highest maintainence.. bride quickly raised sign for her her friends laughed Jamie never moved he said she knew she would admit it.

8. Who is going to do the dishes. ect

Is this done during dinner??

I have done this and a toilet paper race for years. Not either more recently but mention it when folks act as if they want some games etc involved.

Yes, as I count down and the bride has her back to the girls one (predetermined) come from behind and steals the boquet and takes off running at the point of theft I play the Benny Hill Theme:sqbiggrin:
 
I made some signs for the Newleywed game, and added a bunch of him/her cards for the non-newlyweds that participate.

Some of my questions are:
Who initiated the first kiss
Who is most likely to apologize first after an arguement
Who is late for everything
Who spends the most time on the internet

Bob did you use coragated plastic signs because those look exactly like the ones we use
 
I made them myself. The white ones were printed on my computer, and I went to a local copier for the white text on black paper. I use one sheet of card stock paper folded over per sign, with clear plastic lamination over them.

The sticks were from leftover fan programs at a beach wedding last year (the ceremony programs are printed on fans for the guests to fan themselves with- those beach weddings can get hot)
