I am honored to meet so many fun couples through photography that have become close friends of mine!  I had a ton of couples move to Bozeman during the pandemic and they were struggling to meet other couples! To solve this I rented out Sky Oro for the event, and put my husband in a crushed red velvet blazer and the party was on! I think the Newly Wed Game worked so well for my couples because hearing other couples laugh about living together, planning a wedding, and driving skills! There were so many moments of the audience screaming “AMEN!” or “That’s totally us!!”

So that is why I want to give you the tools to throw your own party and strengthen the relationships in your life! If you end up throwing your own Newly Wed Game make sure to tag me on Instagram, and don’t feel shy to message me and ask me any questions you have!

Write Your Team Bio

While people were entering the party I made sure everyone had a drink in their hand and had time to mingle with everyone around the sweets by Beatnik Sugar. But then I swept them away to fill out there notecard for the host to read to introduce them to the audience. I think it helped our guests to see what my husband and I wrote on our team bio! And then we also wrote out some prompts to start couples talking!

How To Play The Newly Wed Game

Hello and welcome! We will ask one partner to stay here in the hot seat and answer questions by writing them down on a piece of paper, and then excuse the other partner to go to our completely sound proof round to answer the questions as well. When you are in the soundproof room you will be prompted with questions, then you will write your answer on a separate piece of paper so you can flash to the audience! If you have have the same answer you will collect the points! If you don’t you loose the points! 

We are here to laugh, and have fun! So keep it Encourage each other! Yell a lot, give feedback, and have fun!
