Bridal Shower Games
Games of chance and relationship-building games tend to go over better than games that require a particular skill. Of course, it all depends on your guest list. (There are times when the latter games work well also.) Below are some games and activities you can use to add fun and lasting memories to your next bridal shower. Also, if you're looking for tips and ideas to best prepare for an upcoming bridal shower, take a look at this Guide to Planning the Perfect Bridal Shower. When you don't want to play a game, but still want to give your guest a little fun entertainment, try this hilarious clothesline underwear poem. The bride and your guests will all get a kick out of this. Bridal Story Game Fill in the blanks of this bridal love story with the names of popular household items and products. Give the items to the bride to get her started on stocking her pantry. Bridal Shower Candy Match Game Match popular candy bars and candy with wedding related definitions. Wedding Trivia and More Fun and informative wedding questions make this game perfect for bridal showers and as a wedding icebreaker. Test your knowledge of weddings here and abroad with our new Wedding Trivia. And for those of you planning a kitchen shower, there's also a Fun with Food Trivia to try.  Present a toast that the bride and groom will love and the guests will remember for all the right reasons... It's easy with Instant Wedding Toasts!

Bridal Shower Scavenger Hunt This indoor bridal shower scavenger hunt is the perfect game to get your guests to mingle and loosen up. Or, if you're planning a fun night out with the girls before the wedding, try our clean bachelorette scavenger hunt. Lingerie Party Games If you're planning a personal shower or just want to add a little 'blush' to your bridal shower try one of these Lingerie Party Games. The Newlywed Game Compose a list of questions specific to the bride and groom (eg. Where did you share your first kiss? What about him/her annoys you? What is his/her favorite dessert?) A few days prior to the shower meet with the groom and interview him on video using these questions. Then, at the shower explain the game and have all the guests write down their guess as to how many answers the bride will match with the groom. Have the TV/VCR set to go and ask the bride the same questions you asked the groom. After the bride answers each question play the groom's answer "live". Whichever guest gets closest to guessing the number of answers she thought the groom/bride would match, wins a prize. Note: When videotaping, edit what you think might be humiliating to the bride-to-be. As the host, you know best what guests will be attending the shower. With that guest list in mind decide what will be funny versus what will be completely inappropriate. Variation: If you are unable to video tape, try setting up a telephone interview with the groom the night of the shower. Put the groom on hold while you ask the bride a question, and then put him on speaker phone to ask him the same question. This game truly is a lot of fun. It's also great for giving your guests a little glimpse of the groom and the couples' realtionship. Can't think of any questions? Try our

Bridal Shower Bingo Make blank bingo cards, replacing the word 'bingo' with 'BRIDE' and indicating a free space in the center. Before the bride begins opening her gifts, pass out the cards and have your guests write down (one item per square) things that might be in the packages. As the bride opens her gifts, participants can cross off items on their cards that match. First guest to get a 'bingo' (or 'bride' in this instance) wins! Printable Bingo Cards There is another fun bingo style game on our Party Games Page called Handbag Bingo. It is a unique variation and a lot of fun. How Well Do You Know Me? Hand out the quiz, "How Well Do You Know Me?" to each of your guests and the Bride-to-Be. Have the bride fill in her answers at the same time as the guests. When everyone has completed the quiz, ask the Bride to read her answers. The guest with the most answers matching the bride's wins! Note: Some questions will be easier to answer by friends and some easier to answer by family. Ultimately, though, you're looking for the person who knows the bride best. If you would prefer a multiple choice bridal quiz try How Well Do You Know the Bride? There is also a free printable "How Well Do You Know the Bridal Couple" game available when you sign up for the printable games ezine, The Python Post. Bridal Captions Gather a good selection of pictures of your Guest of Honor and mount them (one per page) in a scrap book. Pass the book around throughout the evening and have your guests write captions under, above or around the photos. Alternate Idea: Have each guest bring a recent photo of themselves to mount in the scrapbook. Ask them to mount their photos and write words of wisdom, sayings, advice or anything else that comes to mind around these photos throughout the evening. The completed book will make a cherished keepsake and be a lasting record of all those who attended the shower. Bridal History Have each of your guests bring one wedding photograph. This may be their own wedding photo, their parents' wedding photo, their grandparents' wedding photo or the wedding photo of another relative or friend. Create a numbered list to give to each of your guests. As the guests arrive place their photos on a table or some other flat surface where you can put a number below each one. (Don't write on or place anything on the photos themselves. You don't want to damage them.) When all of your guests have arrived give each one a numbered list and have them guess the year each wedding took place. Check out these unique, affordable, bridal shower favors. Use them to send your guests off with a special thank you OR use them as prizes while playing our fun bridal shower games. Do You Have A Fun Bridal Shower
