50 Rehearsal Dinner & Hen Party Trivia Questions (That Aren't Cringe)
Here are 50 rehearsal dinner trivia questions split by event: 25 for the rehearsal dinner (warm, short, family-friendly) and 25 for the hen party or bachelorette (fast, cheeky, competitive). Take what suits your crowd and skip the rest.
TL;DR
- Rehearsal dinner: 10 to 15 questions, warm tone, played between courses. "How the couple met" rounds land every time.
- Hen party: faster and cheekier, run it as a scored competition with a leaderboard while everyone's still sharp.
- Run both on guests' phones via a browser link: no printing, no marking, and remote friends can join too.
The wedding gets all the games. But the events around it, the rehearsal dinner, the hen party, the bachelorette, are where a quick round of trivia actually shines, because the groups are smaller, closer, and up for it. The trick is matching the questions to the vibe: warm and sentimental at the rehearsal dinner, faster and cheekier at the hen.
Short on time? Pick one event section below, pull 12 to 15 questions, and you've got a 10-to-15-minute game. Keep the rehearsal-dinner set warm and the hen set fast.
What Kind of Trivia Suits a Rehearsal Dinner vs. Hen Party?
A rehearsal dinner is dinner with the people closest to the couple, both families, the wedding party. The tone is warm, not wild. A few well-chosen questions about how the couple met, played between courses, gets people talking across the family divide without turning the evening into a game show.
A hen party or bachelorette is the opposite energy: friends, laughter, and permission to be a bit cheeky. Here trivia works as a proper competition, "how well do you know the bride" with a leaderboard and a prize, ideally somewhere near the start of the night while everyone's still sharp.

How Do You Run Trivia Without Printing Answer Sheets?
Whichever event you're planning, the logistics are the same trap: printed answer sheets mean pens, collecting, and someone marking by hand while everyone waits. Running it on phones scores every player instantly and shows a live leaderboard, so the game keeps moving. It also means anyone joining remotely, a bridesmaid who couldn't fly in, a parent dialling into the rehearsal dinner, can still play from a link.
Planning a bridal shower as well? The same setup works there too. See bridal shower trivia questions for a dedicated set that fits that crowd.
