Couples Jeopardy: The Ultimate DIY Bridal Shower Game

Ready to take your bridal shower games to the next level? Enter Couples Jeopardy (Bridal Shower Jeopardy), the perfect blend of creativity, trivia, and a bit of friendly competition. Sure, it takes a bit of DIY effort to set up, but trust us—it’s a fun and memorable way to celebrate the bride and her partner. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to show your dedication to making the event extra special.

What You Need to Play

To get started with Couples Jeopardy, you’ll need:

A list of fun wedding-related categories with questions in each (see ideas below)
A large poster board
Coloured markers
Post-it notes, or note cards with sticky gum
A ruler (for neatness)
Optional: Small prizes for the winning team

How to Set Up the Game

Create Your Game Board: Grab that poster board and draw a grid. Aim for at least four categories with five questions each. Use your colored markers to outline the grid and label each category at the top.
Choose Your Categories: The beauty of this game is that you get to tailor it to the couple! Popular categories include “The Bride,” “The Groom,” “The Couple,” and “Fun Facts.” Feel free to get creative with wedding-themed topics like “Wedding Traditions,” “Romantic Movies,” or “Celebrity Couples.”
Prepare the Questions: Under each category, come up with five questions ranging from easy to challenging. Assign each question a point value from 100 to 500. For example, in the “The Bride” category, a 100-point question might be, “What’s the bride’s favorite color?” while a 500-pointer could be, “Where did the bride go on her first solo trip?”
Set Up the Board: Write each question on a post-it note/card and place it face-down on the board. Write the point value on the back, so that is all the guests can see.

How to Play Couples Jeopardy

Divide Into Teams: Split the guests into two teams. You can decide how to divide them—maybe by table, or just let everyone choose sides. The more even the teams, the better!
Start the Game: Each team takes turns picking a category and point value. For instance, they might say, “We’ll take ‘The Couple’ for 200.” You, the host, then read out the question. The team that picks gets the first chance to answer. If they answer correctly, they earn the points; if not, the other team can steal!
Keep the Score: Use a piece of paper to tally the points for each team. The game continues until all questions have been answered.
Declare the Winner: The team with the most points at the end wins a prize. Make sure to have a small but fun prize ready to add to the excitement.

Extra Tips

Customize for Fun: Add special categories like “Wedding Movies” or “Celebrity Couples” for more variety. If the bride and groom have any inside jokes or shared hobbies, incorporate those into the questions for a personal touch. If there’s a bridal shower theme, you can tailor questions to that.
Mix in Challenges: Include a few “challenge questions” where teams must act something out or draw a picture for extra points. This adds another layer of fun and keeps everyone engaged.
Be the Host with the Most: Channel your inner Alex Trebek with a bit of flair! Add some humor and keep the energy lively. After all, it’s a celebration!
Add More Teams: If you have a lot of guests, you can consider creating more than two teams. In this case, you’ll need to have more questions so that everyone gets a fair shot.

Playing the Couples Jeopardy bridal shower game is a delightful way to bring everyone together, laugh, and maybe learn something new about the bride and groom. It’s a little DIY magic that’s sure to make the bridal shower one to remember.
