Mr and Mrs Questions for a Stag Do

The Mr and Mrs quiz is a stag do classic for a very simple reason: it’s a chance to find out exactly how well the stag knows the person he’s about to marry, in front of all his mates, with a forfeit for every wrong answer. What could possibly go wrong?

Here’s how to run a Mr and Mrs game on a stag do, plus 60 Mr and Mrs questions to get you started. They work just as well for the wedding reception, if you take out the cheeky ones.

How to play Mr and Mrs on a stag do

1. Get the answers first. A week or two before the stag do, sit down with the bride-to-be (or ask a bridesmaid to do it) and get her answers to your questions. Recording them on video is even better, because the stag gets to watch her answer straight after he’s got it wrong.
2. Pick your moment. The quiz works best early in the evening, at the restaurant or in the first pub, while the stag can still form sentences.
3. Ask the stag the same questions. He answers what he thinks she said. Read out or play her answer after each one.
4. Wrong answer? Forfeit. A drink, a dare or a penalty from the stag do rules. Keep the forfeits proportionate. You want him at the wedding.
5. Keep score. The final score goes straight into the best man speech. That’s not a threat, it’s a promise.

Tips for a good Mr and Mrs game

• Keep it kind. The point is a laugh, not a row. Leave out anything that would genuinely embarrass either of them, especially if her answers end up on video.
• Mix easy and hard. A few he’ll definitely get right keeps him in the game. A few he’ll definitely get wrong keeps everyone else happy.
• Twenty questions is plenty. Pick the best from the list rather than working through all 60.
• Save the best answer. There’s always one that makes the whole table go quiet. That’s your speech material.
