Bachelorette or Bachelor Party Quiz: 30 Questions About the Couple
The classic couple quiz for a bachelorette or bachelor party: secret prep, 30 ready-made questions and dares that get laughs without humiliation.
The quiz about the couple is a bachelorette and bachelor party classic: the bride- or groom-to-be has to guess what their partner answered in secret. Here’s how to set it up without raising suspicion, 30 ready-to-use questions and ideas for dares that get big laughs without humiliating anyone.
How the game works
- A few weeks before, the maid of honor or the best man quietly reaches out to the partner and asks them a series of questions. The answers are written down or filmed, with the partner’s consent.
- On the day of the bachelorette or bachelor party, the group asks the same questions to the guest of honor, who has to guess their partner’s answers.
- After each answer, read or play the real answer. Right answer: applause. Wrong answer: a small dare, picked from the list below.
A version with no questions to write: the partner creates a ten-question quiz with the couples vibe and sends the link to the maid of honor or best man, who runs it during the party. The leaderboard then shows whether the bride- or groom-to-be does better than their friends.
10 questions about how you met
- Where did you two meet?
- Who made the first move?
- What was their first impression of you?

- Who said “I love you” first?
- What was the first gift they gave you?
- Which song reminds you of the beginning of your relationship?
- When did they know it was serious?
- What’s the first thing they noticed about you?
- Where did you go on your first trip together?
10 questions about life together
- Who cooks more often?
- Who falls asleep first during a movie?
- What’s their favorite dish when you’re the one cooking?
- Which of you is late more often?
- What nickname do they call you?
- Which of your little habits makes them smile?
- Which one gently drives them crazy?
- What’s your favorite thing to do together on a Sunday?
- Who picks the movie or show at night?
- Which object in your home is “theirs,” and nobody else is allowed to touch it?
10 questions about the wedding and the future
- What are they looking forward to most on the wedding day?
- Which song would they want for your first dance?
- Whose idea was it to get married?
- How did the proposal go, from their side?
- Which part of the wedding stresses them out the most?
- Where do they dream of going on your honeymoon?
- Which dish on the wedding menu are they most excited about?
- Which guest do they think will steal the show on the dance floor?
- Which family tradition would they like to keep?
- Where do they see the two of you in ten years?
Keep one or two “bonus” questions in case an answer deserves a follow-up, but don’t go past twenty minutes or so: bachelorette and bachelor parties usually have plenty of other activities on the schedule.
Dares that get laughs without humiliating anyone
| Dare | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Sing the chorus of “your” song | Brings the couple to mind and gets the whole group involved. |
| Imitate your partner in an everyday situation | Funny and affectionate at the same time. |
| Send your partner a sweet voice memo | Your partner gets something out of it too. |
| Tell a story about the two of you nobody has heard | Turns a mistake into a story. |
| Wear an accessory chosen by the group for ten minutes | Visual, and it doesn’t last long. |
Skip any dare that puts the guest of honor on the spot in front of strangers, pushes them to drink or targets their body. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) gives party hosts a simple tip that fits here: avoid games or activities that center around alcohol. The guest of honor should be able to turn down a dare without losing face: a great bachelorette or bachelor party is one they’ll remember fondly.
Filming the partner: with consent, and for the group
Filmed answers from the partner always go over well. Ask clearly for their consent, explain that the video will be shown at the bachelorette or bachelor party, and say whether it will be shared afterward. If the partner would rather not be on camera, written answers read aloud by the maid of honor or best man work just as well. The same goes for videos of the dares during the party: laugh together, but don’t post anything without asking. Once a video is online, you can’t really take it back: as CISA, the US cybersecurity agency, reminds social media users, there is no “delete” button on the internet.
Also, don’t ask the partner about exes or topics that could start an argument a few weeks before the wedding. The game should celebrate the couple.
Planning the rest of the day
For a full evening with several rounds, borrow from the plan for a quiz night with friends. For more everyday questions about the couple, pick from the 40 couples quiz questions. And if some guests live far away, you can add a video call round with the ideas for playing with friends from a distance.
