How do you play Mr and Mrs at a hen party?

To play Mr and Mrs at a hen party, first ask one partner a series of questions about themselves and the relationship beforehand and record their answers. At the hen party, ask the other partner the same questions and see if the answers match. For each incorrect answer, they can take a drink, lose a point, or do a light forfeit depending on the group.

What are some good Mr and Mrs questions for a hen do?

Good Mr and Mrs questions for a hen do include classic questions like 'Who said I love you first?', relationship questions like 'What was your first impression of each other?', preference questions like 'What's your partner's favorite food?', and future-oriented questions like 'How many children does your partner want?'.

How many questions should you have for Mr and Mrs?

For a Mr and Mrs game at a hen party, aim for 15-25 questions which provides enough content for a fun 30-45 minute game without dragging on too long. You can choose questions from different categories like relationship history, preferences, and future plans to keep the game varied and entertaining.

Can you play Mr and Mrs for any couple?

Yes. The format works just as well for Mr and Mr, Mrs and Mrs, or any couple. Most organisers simply swap in the couple's names or use the word 'partner' so the quiz feels natural and personal.

Should Mr and Mrs be a drinking game?

It can be, but it doesn't need to be. Wrong answers can mean a sip, a point, a silly forfeit, or just a laugh. The best version is the one that fits the group rather than forcing everyone into the same format.

How to Play Mr & Mrs

‘Mr & Mrs’ is the classic hen party quiz for finding out how well the nearlyweds really know each other. It works just as well for Mr & Mr, Mrs & Mrs, or any couple. The format is the same: get one partner's answers first, then see how many the other gets right in front of the room.

Quick setup

Get the partner's answers before the weekend and keep them secret.
Ask the partner playing live the same questions and keep score quickly.
Use a few saved questions rather than trying to run the whole list.

Best 20 Mr & Mrs questions if you just want the shortlist

Most organisers do not need a massive round. These are the ones most likely to land well with a typical hen group.

Who said 'I love you' first?

A classic opener that nearly everyone wants to hear.

Where was your first date?

Gets the room into story mode quickly.

What was your first impression of your partner?

Usually sparks either a sweet answer or a funny correction.

Who made the first move?

Simple, easy, and usually gets instant reaction.

What was the first thing you ever argued about?

Personal without being too heavy.

What does your partner think is your best quality?

A good mid-round sweet question.

What is your partner's favourite takeaway?

Everyone thinks they know this until they don't.

What is your partner's coffee order?

Tiny detail questions are great for catching people out.

What TV show do you always watch together?

Feels familiar and relatable for the whole group.

Who is more competitive?

This gets quick laughs and side commentary from the hens.

What pet name does your partner use for you most?

Slightly cringe in a good hen-party way.

What inside joke do you repeat the most?

Makes the quiz feel specific to the couple rather than generic.

How many children does your partner want?

A classic future question that feels relevant pre-wedding.

What kind of honeymoon would your partner choose?

Aspirational, visual, and easy for the room to picture.

What would your partner spend a lottery win on first?

Fast, fun, and usually exposes real personality.

Who is more likely to blush during this game?

Good right before the cheekier section.

What would your partner say is your most attractive feature?

Flirty without being too much for mixed groups.

A guaranteed laugh line late in the round.

Who is more likely to start singing in the supermarket?

Specific enough to feel funny and visual.

Who is more likely to embarrass the other in front of strangers?

A strong closer because everyone in the room will have an opinion.

How to host it so it actually lands

Play it before people are too drunk

The sweet spot is pre-drinks or the first evening at the house. Too early and the room is flat, too late and nobody listens.

Ask 15 to 20 questions, not all 121

Most groups only need one strong round. Start with the best 20, then pull in a few extras if the room is loving it.

Video the partner's answers if you can

Even short phone videos make the game much funnier because the group gets the reaction, tone, and facial expressions too.

Keep drinks optional

Wrong answers can mean a sip, a point, a silly forfeit, or nothing at all. The format should fit the group, not the other way round.

Edit for the crowd

If mums, aunties, or work friends are there, lean more classic and funny. Save the naughty round for a group that will genuinely enjoy it.

Use inclusive wording

The format works just as well for Mr & Mr, Mrs & Mrs, or any couple. Swap in partner names or neutral wording so the game fits them properly.

Easy ways to vary the format

Who's more likely?

Mix in a few fast-fire couple comparison questions when you want the room shouting answers rather than waiting quietly.

Who is more likely to apologise first?
Who is more likely to be late?
Who is more likely to turn one errand into a three-hour outing?

Wedding-day round

Add a short set focused on the wedding itself if the group wants something more event-specific.

What part of the wedding day is your partner most excited about?
Would your partner choose a big wedding or a small one?
What kind of honeymoon would your partner choose?

This or that

If the room wants something lighter, swap open questions for quick either-or choices and keep the pace moving.

Countryside calm or city buzz?
Big wedding or small wedding?
Book the trip or renovate the house?
