Wedding Word Scramble
Another great game to add to your bridal shower lineup is the Wedding Word Scramble. This game is perfect for guests who love a good challenge and is an easy way to get everyone involved. To start, make a list of wedding-related words such as “bride”, “groom”, “cake”, and “honeymoon” and scramble the letters. Give each guest a sheet of paper and a pen and set a timer for a few minutes. The guest who unscrambles the most words correctly wins a prize
How Well Do You Know the Bride?
Another great game to play at a bridal shower is Bride Trivia. This game is perfect for a smaller group of guests who know the bride well. It’s a fun and engaging way to see just how well your guests know the bride and it’s also a great way to learn new things about her! To play Bride Trivia, simply create a list of questions about the bride before the shower. The questions can range from simple things like “What is her favorite color?” to more personal questions like “What was her first pet’s name?”. During the shower, hand out a piece of paper to each guest and have them write down their answers to the questions. The guest with the most correct answers wins a prize!
Wedding Trivia
It’s time to test your guests’ knowledge with Wedding Trivia. This game will have everyone guessing and laughing as they try to recall all things wedding-related, from classic traditions to the latest pop culture references. Create a list of questions that are fun and easy to answer, such as “What is the traditional color for weddings?”, “What is the name of the famous wedding planner played by Jennifer Lopez?”, or “What is the meaning of the phrase ‘something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue’?” Hand out sheets of paper and pens, and give guests a set amount of time to answer as many questions as possible. Award a prize to the person who gets the most correct answers.
Guess That Spice
It’s time to spice things up with another fun game: “Guess That Spice”. This game is perfect for food lovers or anyone who enjoys cooking. To play, you’ll need to gather a variety of spices and put them in small bowls or bags with numbered labels. Make sure to choose a mix of common and more obscure spices to make it challenging.
At the shower, hand out a sheet of paper and a pen to each guest. Pass around each spice bowl and have guests guess what spice is in each bowl based on smell, taste, and appearance. After everyone has had a chance to guess each spice, reveal the correct answers and award a prize to the guest who guessed the most correctly. See a printable Guess the Spice version.
Wedding Pictionary
Keep the bridal shower fun going with Wedding Pictionary. This classic game is a great way to get guests laughing and interacting. Divide guests into teams and have each take turns drawing wedding-related phrases, such as “bride and groom,” “wedding cake,” or “flower bouquet.” The team that guesses the most correct answers by the end of the game wins.
Advice for the Bride
While bridal shower games are a must-have for any celebration, it’s equally important to take a few moments to give the bride-to-be some much-needed advice and support. Here are some cards that will help organize this activity
First and foremost, remind the bride that the most important thing about her wedding day is that she and her partner are committing to spend the rest of their lives together. It’s easy to get caught up in the details and the stress of planning a big event, but at the end of the day, the love between the couple is what truly matters.
Encourage the bride to take some time for self-care during the wedding planning process. Wedding planning can be overwhelming and stressful, so it’s important that she takes care of herself as well as she takes care of the wedding details. Suggest that she schedule regular massages or yoga classes, or even just take a day off to relax and do something she loves.
Remind the bride that it’s okay to delegate tasks and ask for help. She may feel like she needs to do everything herself, but the truth is that her friends and family are there to support her. Encourage her to reach out to her loved ones for help with anything she needs.
Finally, offer the bride some words of wisdom about marriage. Share with her something that has worked well in your own relationship, or offer advice on how to navigate some of the challenges that come with married life. Let her know that she has your support and that you’re excited to see her begin this new chapter in her life.
Hosting a memorable bridal shower doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. By using these game ideas, you can have a blast without breaking the bank. Pick and choose which games you want to play or try them all for a guaranteed good time. Your guests will appreciate the effort you put into creating a unique and intimate experience. Remember, the best bridal showers are the ones where everyone leaves with a smile on their face and memories that will last a lifetime. So get creative, have fun, and celebrate the bride-to-be in style!
