Planning a Bridal Shower: Games Everyone Will Love
2024-04-30

Bridal showers are a cherished tradition, bringing together friends and family to celebrate the bride-to-be before her big day. While the focus is often on gifts and well-wishes, incorporating fun and interactive games can elevate the atmosphere and create lasting memories for everyone involved. 

Whether you're the maid of honour, a bridesmaid, or a close friend tasked with planning the bridal shower, here are ten bridal shower games guaranteed to delight every guest.

Games Perfect for Every Bridal Shower

1. Gift Bingo

Put a creative spin on the classic game of bingo with tailored bingo cards featuring wedding-related items such as "personalised jewellery," "skincare products," or "scented candles." As the bride opens her gifts, guests mark off the corresponding items on their bingo cards. The first person to complete a line shouts "Bingo!" and wins the game.

2. Wedding Trivia

Test guests' knowledge of the bride and groom with a wedding-themed trivia game. Create a list of questions about the couple's relationship, favourite things, or wedding plans, and have guests write down their answers. The guest with the most correct answers wins a prize, while everyone learns more about the happy couple in the process.

3. Love Story Mad Libs

Put a humorous spin on the bride and groom's love story with a game of Mad libs. Create a story template with blank spaces for nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs, and have guests fill in the blanks with their own words. Once all the blanks are filled, read aloud the hilarious and often nonsensical love story created by the guests.

4. Dress the Bride

Divide guests into teams and challenge them to create a wedding dress using only toilet paper. Set a time limit and let the creativity flow as teams work together to design and dress a model (either a willing guest or a mannequin) with their toilet paper creation. The bride then chooses her favourite dress, and the winning team receives a prize.

5. Wedding Pictionary

Put guests' drawing skills to the test with a game of wedding-themed Pictionary. Create a list of wedding-related words or phrases, such as "bride and groom," "wedding cake," or "bouquet toss," and have guests take turns drawing clues while their teammates guess what they're drawing. 

6. Guess the Celebrity Couple

Create a slideshow featuring photos of celebrity couples, both past and present, and challenge guests to identify each couple. For an added twist, include photos of the bride and groom at various stages of their relationship and see if guests can recognise them. 

7. Wedding Emoji Puzzles

Create a series of wedding-related phrases using emojis and challenge guests to decipher each puzzle. For example, a string of emojis representing a bride, a groom, and a ring would translate to "bride and groom." Guests can work individually or in teams to solve the puzzles, and the first to complete them all wins a prize.

8. Recipe for Love

Have guests share their favourite recipes for a happy marriage by writing them on recipe cards provided by the host. These can include advice, words of wisdom, or funny anecdotes about love and marriage. Collect the cards and compile them into a keepsake recipe book for the bride to cherish long after the bridal shower.

9. Wedding Charades

Put a wedding twist on the classic game of charades by having guests act out wedding-related scenarios, such as walking down the aisle, exchanging vows, or catching the bouquet. Guests take turns acting out the scenes while their teammates guess what they're portraying. 

10. Love Song Lyrics Game

Create a playlist of romantic songs and print out sheets with selected lyrics from each song. Challenge guests to match the lyrics to the correct song title and artist. Guests can work individually or in teams to complete the game, and the first to correctly identify all the songs wins a prize.
