Bridal Shower Game Ideas

If you're planning a bridal shower, there are a number of fun and unique bridal shower games that you can plan for you and your friends. They can range from silly to naughty, and will provide an enjoyable atmosphere for guests and encourage conversation. Itsrainingfavors.com has some fantastic ideas for great bridal shower games.

How about “Guess the Gadgets,” where kitchen utensils are attached to an apron, and the bride stands in front of the guests for two minutes while they try to memorize as many as the can. After she takes the apron off, they must write down as many as they remember. The person with the most wins a prize – the website also offers bridal shower favors and prizes such as lavender-scented Soft Lotion for $3.20 each or elegant personalized Candle Tins for $2.50 each.

Test your guests'  knowledge of celebrity couples with the “Famous Pairs” game. Hand out lists with two columns of celebrity couple names: Mick and Jerry, Elizabeth and Richard (or one of her many other husbands' names!), and Gwyneth and Chris to name a few. Guests must match the column A name with the column B mate. This can be great fun for those who love celebrity pop culture. “Name That Tune,” is also a good guessing game for your bridal shower guests, where bits of love songs are played and your friends must guess the name of the song. The Lucky Couple beer mug, with the names of the couple and their wedding date is the ideal gift for bridal shower games, or for something a little more refined, opt for the champagne flute bridal shower favors. At under $5 each, they are an affordable prize for any game.

Don't forget silly games like the “Donut Challenge,” where guests lick a donut suspended from the ceiling – no hands allowed! Whoever can lick off the most powdered sugar in a minute wins the prize. Lighthearted games will get your guests laughing, and are a nice way to break the ice if some of the women don't know each other.

If you want to give bridal shower guests a gift on their way out, why not turn it into a game, and have them search the room with clues to find their gift bag? A Mikasa bottle topper with a beautiful crystal heart is the perfect way to say thank you for coming.  Or, choose from a number of heartwarming verses available for the Votive Verse bridal shower gift. You can personalize it with the date of the bridal shower, and guests will have a memorable gift that they can use for years to come.
