Bridal showers are held approximately three months before the wedding date and the maid of honor is in charge of the bridal shower festivities. Brides can either choose women only bridal shower or a co-ed bridal shower and a bridal themed shower, but whatever brides chooses she needs to make the bridal shower full of fun for everyone.
The bridal shower games that are the most popular at bridal showers are toilet paper wedding gown, the newlywed game, bridal bingo, recipes for marriage and things in a bride’s purse.
The toilet paper wedding gown game is a fun and unique game where a few guests are selected to be the models or judges, and then the rest of the guests are broke up into two groups. Each group has to design their best wedding gown created from toilet paper. After each group has designed their toilet paper wedding gown the models create a walkway for the judges to view the designs and determine the winner of the most beautiful toilet paper gown and the winner receives a prize.
The Newlywed Game is a game for a co-ed bridal shower. This game is for couples, so single women or men will have to sit this particular game out. The maid of honor should come up with a list of questions for the couple prior to the bridal shower. Typical questions this game would be “What is your spouses favorite color,” “Who takes the longest to get ready each morning,” or “What’s your spouse’s favorite food?” When playing The Newlywed Game keep the list on the conservative side to be sensitive for all guests attending the bridal shower. At the bridal shower, the maid of honor will ask the questions to each couple and in the end, the couple who provides the most correct answers is the winner and receives a prize.
Bridal Bingo is a fun game that all your guests will enjoy. Before the bridal shower create some bridal bingo cards on an 8 ½ x 11 card stock piece of paper and print them off or use this free template. If the bride has a wedding registry list, items can be used from that list for the bingo cards categories for each cell of the table (usually write in the lower priced items). The game is played when the bride is opening gifts. Guests will mark off the words on the bridal bingo card and whoever marks off their bingo card is the winner and receives a prize.
Recipes for a Marriage is a great game for bridal shower guests. Purchase some blank cards and send those cards out with the bridal shower invitations. Ask the guest to write down their recipe, tips, or advice for a great marriage. This could be an actual recipe, a joke, tips, or a piece of advice. Each guest takes turn reading his or her card aloud to the bride. When the game is finished, the Maid of Honor collects the cards for the bride and creates a beautiful scrapbook keepsake for the bride.
