What are wedding betting slips?
Wedding betting slips (also called wedding betting cards or wedding betting sheets) are printed or digital cards where guests make fun, non-gambling predictions about moments during the wedding reception.
Think of them as the wedding version of a Super Bowl prop bet sheet — except nobody wagers real money. Guests predict things like “Will the groom cry during vows?” or “How long will the best man's speech last?” and the person with the most correct predictions wins bragging rights (and usually a small prize).
They come in two formats: paper slips you print and hand out at each table setting, or digital betting cards that guests fill out on their phones by scanning a QR code.

Are digital wedding betting cards better than paper slips?+
Digital wedding betting cards offer several advantages: guests join by scanning a QR code (no printing), results are tallied automatically on a live leaderboard (no manual counting), bets can be locked in real time before each moment, and guests can play from their seats. Paper slips are simpler but require someone to collect and count them manually.
What are wedding speech betting cards?+
Wedding speech betting cards are a specific type of betting slip focused on speech moments: Will the best man cry? How many times will the maid of honor say 'love'? Does the father-of-the-bride speech go over 5 minutes? They're popular because speeches are a natural focal point where everyone is already paying attention.
How many betting slip questions should I have at a wedding?+
For paper betting slips, 8-12 questions is ideal — enough to be fun without overwhelming guests. For digital games like MyWeddingBetting, you can have 15-25+ bets because they're released throughout the night rather than all at once, keeping guests engaged for hours.
