How to Prepare the "He Said, She Said" Game
Before the shower, you'll need to prepare the questions and collect the answers from the bride and groom. Consider these steps:
-
Develop Engaging Questions: The key to a successful "He Said, She Said" game is crafting interesting and fun questions. Think about questions that reveal personality quirks, preferences, or funny anecdotes. Avoid anything too personal or potentially embarrassing. Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Who is more likely to forget an anniversary?
- Who is the better cook?
- Who is the neat freak?
- Who snores louder?
- Who is more likely to lose their keys?
- Who spends more time on their phone?
- Who’s the morning person, and who’s the night owl?
- What's their favorite way to spend a weekend?
- What is their favorite thing about each other? (This adds a sweet touch!)

Collect Answers Separately: Interview the bride and groom separately and record their responses. It’s crucial to keep their answers confidential until the game begins. You can use a simple notebook or a digital document to record the answers.

Create Game Cards: Once you have all the answers, create game cards for each question. List each question and then present two answers anonymously – “Answer A” and “Answer B.” You can design these cards to match the shower theme for extra flair.
-
Prepare a Prize: A small prize for the guest with the most correct guesses adds a competitive edge and further enhances the fun.
