How to Play

Our Thanksgiving Mad-Libs is quick, and can be played anywhere — even while you’re waiting for the pie to bake!

This date is designed to remind you that laughter really is the secret ingredient for a happy relationship. When you play, you’re not just filling blanks — you’re filling your marriage with joy, connection, and maybe a few new inside jokes.

Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Pick your vibe.
    Choose the 🦃 Funny Family Version for wholesome laughs or the 🔥 Flirty Couple Version for some after-dinner spice.
  2. Fill in the blanks.
    Each prompt asks for simple words — nouns, verbs, adjectives, emotions, etc. Don’t overthink it! The sillier, the better.
  3. Hit “Build My Story.”
    Watch the little spinner “mix your words” and then reveal your one-of-a-kind Thanksgiving story.
  4. Laugh (or blush) together.
    Read it aloud! Try your best dramatic voice.
  5. Copy, print, or share.
    Want to keep your story? Copy it, print it, or snap a quick screenshot to save the memory! You can even share a snippet on social media and tag @dateyourspouseoffical — we love seeing your stories come to life!
  6. Every year, come back and play again! Save each story in a folder labeled “Our Thanksgiving Chronicles” and watch how your answers (and your love story) evolve over time.
