80 Who Knows the Bride Best questions

Prepare the bride’s answer sheet

Choose 10–15 questions from the editable set, send them to the bride and record her answers before the hen party.

Keep the answer key with the host; copy or print the questions without the answers for everyone else. Agree accepted alternatives in advance, especially names, places and favourite meals. If you change a question, check its answer again.

Play, score and settle a tie

Play individually or in mixed friendship teams. Allow about 30 seconds per question on paper, then let the bride reveal the answers. Give one point for a matching answer. Allow 15–20 minutes for 15 questions and short stories.

Prepare a numerical tie-break the bride can verify, such as the number of gigs she went to last year. Collect all estimates before revealing the number; closest wins. Share the prize if the closest guesses tie.

Family-friendly or a little cheeky?

For family and colleagues, choose food, music, ambitions and everyday habits. For close friends, add a teenage celebrity crush, a fashion phase or a familiar night-out habit.
