How do you play Honeymoon Questions?
Honeymoon questions cover the wedding while the details are still fresh — what each partner was thinking during the vows, what surprised them, who was unexpectedly wonderful — before moving to what the two of you want the first year and first decade to be. Best used mid-week, once you have both slept.
How to play
- Wait until you have both actually slept. Day three or four.
- Take a few over a meal or on a beach. Do not try to finish the deck.
- Both answer everything.
- Write down the answers to the last four.
- Come back to it on your first anniversary.
Why couples love this game
The wedding questions have a short shelf life — the details fade within about a month, and this is the only week where you can both still remember what you were actually thinking during the vows. Capturing that while it is fresh is something couples are consistently glad they did.
A honeymoon is the only week most couples ever get where there is nothing to organise, nobody to please, and no reason to be anywhere. It is also usually spent recovering from the eighteen months that preceded it.
These questions are for the middle of that week, once you have both slept. They cover the wedding while it is still fresh, and then move to the thing it was for.
It is warm rather than heavy. Nothing here needs deciding — it is a week for noticing where you have arrived.
Example questions
- What is the first thing you wanted to do once we were finally alone after the wedding — say it specifically?
- When you first saw me that day, where did your eyes actually go?
- What did you want to whisper during the vows that would have gotten us in trouble?
- Which part of this hotel room do you want to use that we have not used yet?
- What do you want me to wear, or not wear, for the rest of this week?
- Morning in this bed — do you want to be kissed awake, or do you want to do the kissing?
The full game has 44 of these, shuffled every time you play.
Who this game is best for
- The middle of a honeymoon
- A minimoon or a delayed honeymoon
- The first anniversary, reading the answers back
- Any couple recently married
Tips to make it better
- Not on day one. Sleep first — the answers on day one are all about logistics.
- Write down the last four. They are the ones you will want at the first anniversary.
- Do not turn it into planning. This is a week for noticing, not deciding.
- A few at a time over the week beats one long session.
Frequently asked questions
What should newlyweds talk about on honeymoon?
The wedding, while you can still remember it accurately. Those details fade within a month, and the honeymoon is the only week you will both recall what you were actually thinking during the ceremony.
When in the week should we do this?
Day three or four. Everybody arrives exhausted, and the answers on day one are all about logistics and whether the flight was on time.
What if we did not have a honeymoon?
It works on any quiet week in the first few months, and the wedding questions still land as long as it is reasonably fresh.
