l shower is a chance for the ladies in the future bride’s life to honor her with a get-together that includes good food, fun and games. Games at bridal shower usually bond ladies together, or complete a task for the future bride.
A game that serves as an ice breaker is always a fun game to start the party. One game you can play is called the Name Tag Game. In this game, the hostess writes the name of each one of the guests along with a word related to marriages like veil, groom, etc on a name tag. The rule of the game is that you are not permitted to say the word on your name tag or else you lose your name tag to the person that got you to say the word.
If you win other name tags, you are not to say any of the words on either your name tag or any of the others. There’s typically a time limit for this game and the person who has the most tags when time runs out is the winner.
The Purse Game is another game at bridal showers, where the hostess lists down items likely to be in a ladies’purse. These items are assigned points from 1-5 depending on the uniqueness of the item. Car keys could be a 1 on the scale, and an eyelash curler a five. The hostess might also give 10 bonus points for the girl who can produce the most outrageous item from her purse.
Another variation of this game is to have an inventory of items and call out the items. The first lady to find each item and hand it to the person judging the game wins one point. After the complete list has been finished, the lady with the most points is announced the winner.
The Television Couple Game is yet another bridal shower game. The hostess will read out the first names of a TV couple and the guests try and guess the last name of the couple. Some example clues with the answers are George and Jane Jetson, and Al and Peg Bundy. One point may be awarded for each correct answer or a point system may be established to award more points to more obscure references.
Another game could be a simple lucky draw game. The hostess may purchase some cheap gifts and ask each player to fill out an envelope with their name and address to go into the draw. The hostess then picks out a name for each prize. This may be a fun game as it offers the guests an opportunity to win a prize and it helps the bride as she will be able to use the envelopes to send out thank you cards.
To encourage guests to interact, the Who Am I game is played. A picture is pinned to the back of every guest, and the point of the game is to ask Yes or No questions to other guests to ascertain the picture on your back. At the end of the party, each guest takes a guess at who is depicted in the photograph on their back.
For the Wedding Jumble game, the hostess will prepare an inventory of words related to a marriage day like toast, limo, receptions, and promises. Next the hostess will scramble each word so the letters are out of order and supply each guest with a copy of the scrambled words. The guest will be given time to unscramble the words and the individual that unscrambles the most words wins. If more than one person gets all the words correct then the individual that did so in the fastest time is the winner.
The Wedding Day Obstacle Course is another game that may truly help out the bride. In this game, the guests are timed on how fast they finish a certain task, for example wrapping gifts. Not only is this a game that is both fun to look at and take part in but it also helps the bride to finish some of the jobs on her list.
All these games are a large amount of fun at a bridal shower and they inspire the guests to interact with each other in an informal atmosphere. These games can also help relatives get to know each other better, which is useful particularly if the bride and grooms’ families do not know one another well.
