A few hosting notes make these games run smoothly. Read the template answers in the bride's own voice — literally hand her the answer key and let her reveal each one, because her reactions are the entertainment. Keep score publicly on a small whiteboard or a sheet of paper passed around the room, since guests love seeing a close race develop. If a guest does not know an answer, encourage a funny guess rather than a blank line; read the funniest guesses aloud (kindly, and without names if the group is shy) before revealing the bride's real answer. Finally, take one photo of the group holding their answer sheets. It takes ten seconds and gives the bride a keepsake that costs nothing.
