Need Enough for Your Whole Guest List?
Two ways to cover every guest:
- Copy the slip we send you. Take it to any print shop and run exactly the number of slips you need for your guest count.
- Or skip printing entirely. The app runs the whole game from one custom link or QR sign: no slips, no pens, no tallying.
The Hidden Problem With Wedding Bet Slips
To recap what actually has to happen for paper to work, every single time:
- 1Play with the pre-printed questions on the slip.
- 2Print (or reprint) enough slips for everyone.
- 3Find pens for every guest.
- 4Explain the rules over the music.
- 5Hand out and collect cards before each event.
- 6Read everyone's handwriting.
- 7Track real outcomes on a master sheet.
- 8Score every card by hand.
- 9Calculate the winner and break ties.
- 10Announce it before guests stop paying attention.
None of these are hard. All of them together, on the same night, fall on someone who would rather be dancing. That is the hidden cost of the printable: not the paper, the labor.
Printed Bet Slip vs. the App: Honest Comparison
| What you want | Printed Bet Slip | Betting on the Wedding App |
|---|---|---|
| Make predictions | Yes | Yes |
| Custom bets for this couple | No — the slip is pre-printed | Yes, unlimited custom bets |
| Library of ready-made prop bets | Only the questions on the slip | Yes, a library of presets included |
| Share with guests fast | Hand out cards | Yes, share a custom link or QR code |
| Guests play before the wedding | Hard | Yes, picks can open early |
| Guests join without a download | Yes, it's paper | Yes, play in any phone browser or download the app |
| Live leaderboard during the reception | No | Yes, updates in real time |
| Automatic scoring | No, you tally by hand | Yes, scored automatically |
| Tracks every guest's picks | Only if you don't lose a slip | Yes, all picks stored |
| No paper, no pens, no printing | No | Yes |
| Calculates the winner and ties | No, you do the math | Yes, instant |
| Track who owes whom (cash pot) | You handle it manually | Treasurer Mode tracks buy-ins; money settled outside the app |
The pattern is simple. Paper can do the front half (make picks). The app does the back half too (score it, rank it, announce it) without anyone leaving the dance floor.
On price: the app is one purchase for the whole wedding, not a per-guest fee. The host pays $49.99 once and every guest plays free. Split across an 80-person guest list, that is about 60 cents a head, and nobody else downloads or pays anything. It is also the original wedding betting app, used at 25,000+ weddings, so when you compare options you are comparing against the category that started it.
A note on money, because people ask: the app never holds or processes funds. If your group plays for a cash pot, Betting on the Wedding does all the math and sends notifications so guests can settle directly with each other by Venmo, PayPal, or cash. Or you use Treasurer Mode to collect buy-ins up front and track who is in. Many people play for bragging rights. Either way, it works like an office bracket or a fantasy league among friends.
What a Wedding Betting Printable Actually Costs
Paper feels free. It is not. The template is only the first line item, and it is the cheapest one. Once you add printing, cardstock, pens, a box to collect the slips, and a sign for the table, a real paper setup for an average wedding (about 100 guests) usually costs more than the app, before you count a single hour of your own time.
| What you are paying for | DIY paper bet slip | Betting on the Wedding |
|---|---|---|
| The template / the game | $0.99 on this page | $49.99 one time, all in |
| Printing (~100 slips, color, cardstock) | $25 to $40 | Included, nothing to print |
| Extra cardstock or paper | $0 to $10 | Not needed |
| Pens (one per ~2 guests) | $12 to $18 | Not needed |
| Drop box or card box | $15 to $35 | Not needed |
| "Place Your Bets" sign + frame or easel | $10 to $20 | Included (we email you a custom QR sign) |
| Paper cutter (if you do not own one) | $15 to $25 | Not needed |
| Scoring and picking a winner | By hand, takes hours | Automatic |
| Your setup and run time | Several hours | About 15 minutes |
| What it actually costs | About $80 to $140+ | $49.99, flat |
To be fair: the bare-minimum paper version can come in under $49.99 if you print in black and white at home and already own the pens, the box, and a cutter. But you are still trading your time for it, several hours of work on a day you would rather be enjoying. Betting on the Wedding is a flat $49.99 for the whole wedding, guests play free, your custom guest link and QR sign are ready for you, and the scoring, leaderboard, and winner are all handled for you.
Paper is not the cheap option. It is the option that looks cheap until you add it up.
The Better Printable: One Link And One Sign
If you want a printable that solves the logistics instead of creating them, print one sign with a QR code instead of stacks of slips. Every wedding also gets its own custom guest link, so you can drop it on your wedding website, put it in an email or save-the-date, or text it to the group chat. Guests tap the link or scan the sign, then choose to play in their browser (no download) or grab the app. No pens, no collecting, no handwriting, no manual scoring. You do not even have to make the sign yourself: once you set up your wedding in the app, we email you a custom Place Your Bets sign with your event's QR code, ready to print.
This is the "printable" we actually recommend: one link, one sign, zero tallying.
Make Your Wedding Betting Game Actually Work
We built Betting on the Wedding because we loved the paper game and got tired of running it. It is the original wedding betting app, used at 25,000+ weddings with 5.5M+ predictions made and a 4.7-star average across 400+ ratings on the App Store and Google Play.
Built by Greg & Stacy Stahl
A couple who turned a wedding-day idea into the game 25,000+ couples now use.
The host buys it once for $49.99. Every guest plays free, with no per-guest fees and no subscription. Guests tap your custom wedding link or scan a QR code and choose: play in any phone browser with no download, or grab the iOS or Android app. Either way it takes about a minute. The app ships with a library of preset prop bets plus unlimited custom bets, scores everything automatically, and runs a live leaderboard all night. If your group plays for money, the app never holds funds: guests settle directly with each other, or you use Treasurer Mode to collect buy-ins up front. It works like an office bracket or a fantasy league among friends.
Use the printed cards if that is all you need. When you want it to run itself, the app is waiting.
When a Printable Makes Sense
- It is a small group (a dozen people or fewer) where hand-scoring is quick.
- You want a keepsake guests physically fill out and you keep.
- The venue has poor cell service or you want a no-screens vibe.
- It is a bridal shower or a low-key event, not a full 4-hour reception.
- You have a dedicated, enthusiastic person who genuinely wants to run and score it.
When You Should Use the App Instead
- You have a real guest list (30, 80, 150 people) and hand-scoring becomes a second job.
- You want a live leaderboard people can watch and cheer over all night.
- You want guests to join in about a minute from your custom link or a QR code, in their browser or the app, no pens required.
- You want picks to open before the wedding so the buzz starts early.
- You want the winner calculated and announced instantly, ties included.
- You are running a cash pot and want buy-ins tracked cleanly, with money settled outside the app.
In short: small and casual, use paper. Big, live, and hands-off, use the app.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Betting on the Wedding app cost?
The host pays a one-time purchase of $49.99. Every guest plays free, with no per-guest fees and no subscription. Guests join from the couple’s custom link or by scanning a QR code, and can play in a browser or download the iOS or Android app.
Can guests join the wedding betting game without downloading an app?
Yes. With paper bet slips there is nothing to download at all. With Betting on the Wedding, guests tap the couple’s custom link (share it on your wedding website, in an email, or in a group text) or scan the QR code, and can play right in any phone browser with no download, or install the iOS or Android app. Either option is free for guests and takes about a minute.
Does the app hold the money for a wedding betting pool?
No. The app never holds or processes funds. If your group plays for a cash pot, guests settle directly with each other by Venmo, PayPal, or cash, or the host uses Treasurer Mode to collect buy-ins up front and track who is in. Many people play for bragging rights.
Does Betting on the Wedding come with a printable QR sign?
Yes. Once you set up your wedding in the app, we email you a custom Place Your Bets sign with your event’s unique QR code, ready to print and set on a table. You also get a custom link for the couple that you can post on your wedding website or send by email. Guests join in a browser or the app.
Is there a better alternative to printable wedding bet slips?
Yes, for larger or livelier weddings. Betting on the Wedding does the same predictions plus the parts paper cannot: automatic scoring, a live leaderboard, joining by custom link or QR code in a browser or app, and instant winner calculation. Use paper bet slips for small casual events and the app when you want it to run itself.
Why does the bet slip start at cocktail hour?
* This slip starts at cocktail hour because that is when these slips are traditionally used - while guests have a bit of downtime before the reception. Some of the most popular picks happen at the ceremony (who cries first, how long is the ceremony?), so a slip handed out at cocktail hour cannot take those bets. In the app, picks open before the wedding day, so guests can bet on the ceremony too.
