- by KissMeGoodnight.com
The bridal shower is an opportunity for the
women in the future bride’s life to honor her with a simple
luncheon or get together filled with good food, fun and games.
Many bridal showers feature a series of games that are not
only a great deal of fun but also allow a bonding opportunity
for all of the women at the party and sometimes serve the purpose
of completing a task for the bride to be.
A game that encourages the participants to get to know each
other is always a fun game with which to start the party. One
game you can play is known as the Name Tag Game which encourages
guest to mingle with the other guests. In this game, the hostess
writes the name of each of the guests along with a word related
to weddings such as veil, favors, groom, etc on a name tag.
The rules of the game are that you are not allowed to say the
word on your name tag or else you lose your name tag to the
person who got you to say the word. If you acquire one or more
additional name tags you are tasked with not saying any of
the words on either your name tag or any of the other tags.
If you say the word on your tag, you have to relinquish it
to the person who got you to say the word and if you say the
word on one of the other tags, you also have to give that person
the tag plus you have to introduce them to the person from
whom you had acquired the tag. There is usually a pre-determined
time limit for this game and the person with the most tags
when time runs out is the winner.
The
Purse Game is another popular bridal shower idea. This
is a simple game where the hostess draws up a list of items
likely to appear in a woman’s purse and assigns a point value
to each item ranging from 1-5 depending on how unusual the
item is. For example car keys might be a 1 on the scale, a
mirror a 3 and an eye lash curler a 5. The hostess might also
choose to allow 10 bonus points for the woman who can produce
the most outrageous item from her purse. The woman with the
most points wins the game. Another variation of this game is
to have a list of items and call out the items one at a time.
The first woman to find each item and hand it to the person
judging the game wins one point. After the entire list has
been completed, the woman with the most points is proclaimed
the winner.
Another
common bridal shower game is the Television Couple Game. In this game the hostess will read out the first names
of a television couple and the guests try to guess the last
name of the couple. A few examples clues along with the answers
are George and Jane – Jetson, Al and Peg – Bundy, Ward and
June – Cleaver. One point could be awarded for each correct
answer or a point system could be established to award more
points to more obscure references. This game is also sometimes
called the Famous Couple Game and includes references to celebrities
or political figures and their real spouses such as Bill and
Hillary – Clinton.
Bridal
Shower Bingo is another simple bridal shower game. This game is played just like regular bingo except that instead
of using letters and numbers for the spaces, each space is
filled with a word or words that relate to weddings, love or
marriage such as wedding dress, favors, eternal, true, rings,
etc. The host makes up the bingo cards ahead of time and puts
a piece of paper with each word used on the cards into a large
bowl. During the game, the hostess will draw out a word and
read it allowed and each participant will mark that square
on their card. The first person to complete an entire row,
column or diagonal wins the game.
One
bridal shower game that can be a real benefit to the bride
to be is a simple drawing. The hostess may purchase a few inexpensive
gifts for the drawing and ask each participant to fill out
an envelope with their name and address to enter the drawing.
The hostess then picks out a name for each prize. This is a
fun game because it offers the participants a chance to win
a prize plus it really helps out the guest of honor because
she can use the envelopes to send out her thank you cards after
the party.
The
Who Am I Game is another bridal shower game that encourages
guests to interact with each other. In this game, the host
prints out pictures of characters from romantic books or movies
and tapes one character to the back of each guests so that
other guests can see the picture but the person wearing the
picture cannot. The point of the game is to ask other guests
questions where the answer is either yes or no to try to determine
who is on the picture on your back. At the end of the party,
each guest takes a guess at who is depicted in the photo on
their back.
The
Wedding Jumble is another fun bridal shower game. For
this game the hostess will prepare a list of words related
to a wedding day such as toast, limousine, receptions, and
vows. Next the hostess will scramble each word so that the
letters are out of order and provide each guest with a copy
of the scrambled words. The guest will be given a set amount
of time to unscramble the words and the person who unscrambles
the most words wins. If more than one person gets all of the
words correct then the person who did so in the fastest time
is the winner.
The
Wedding Day Obstacle Course is another game that can really
help out the bride. In this amusing game each guest is timed
individually on how fast they can complete a series of tasks
such as wrapping a wedding favor, addressing envelopes, filling
out a place card, assembling a centerpiece, or whatever other
projects the bride has in progress that can be incorporated
into the game. Not only is this a game that is both fun to
watch and participate in but it also helps the bride to complete
some of the tasks on her list.
The
Bridal Shower Memory Game is also very popular. The typical
way to play this game is to have a tray filled with various
household items. Bring out the tray and allow the guests to
study the items for a few minutes and then take the tray away
and ask questions about the items such as, where the spoon
was and what color was the spatula. This game could also be
modified to have one of the guests bring the tray out and then
leave the room to take the tray away. You could then catch
the guests by surprise by asking questions about the person
who carried the tray such as what color shirt were they wearing
or on which finger was she wearing a ring instead of asking
questions about the contents of the tray.
The
Price is Right Game can also be a great deal of fun at
bridal showers and can serve to benefit the bride as well.
For this game the hostess will purchase about 10 different
items that will be useful for the couple such as towels, soap
dispensers, household cleaners, etc. and have the guests try
to guess the price of either all the items combined or each
item individually. This is not only a fun game but the bride
also gets to keep the items which makes it useful for her.
All of these games are a lot of fun to play at a bridal shower
and they encourage the guests to get to know each other in
a casual atmosphere. Some of these games even serve the purpose
of helping to complete some of the bride’s last minute projects.
The fun of these games is that they help people to get to know
each other better which is helpful especially if the bride
and grooms’ families don’t know each other well.
