Wedding showers are a moment to breathe in between planning your wedding and your engagement. This is a great way for your guests to meet each other for the first time before your big day. The big question is, how do you keep your guests entertained? Whether you’re planning on having the party for just the bride, or the wedding couple, we have all the answers right here with four of our favorite couples’ shower games!
Four Couples Shower Games
The Shoe Game
The shoe game is an oldie but a goodie that guarantees laughter from all! It has been played at many wedding-related parties, and actual weddings, so you may even want to save it for the big day. The shoe game is pretty simple and only requires three groups of participants: the soon-to-be wedded, the host, and of course an audience.
How to play the Shoe Game:
- Have the couple sit back to back in front of the guests.
- The bride and groom will take off their shoes and switch one shoe between the two of them. Leaving each person with one of their own shoes, and one of their partner’s shoes.
- The host will then ask the couple questions of “who is most likely to…”. The couple will lift up the shoe belonging to the one that they think is the most likely to…
The Shoe Game has been such a popular game over the years that our Grand Forks DJs have perfected hosting the shoe game at weddings! They’ll help keep it fun and interactive when leading the game.
The Couples Roast
A fun twist on charades, The Couples Roast is a great game for couples that can take being in the hot seat. Caution, this one is not for the easily offended. The couple will get to find out what their guests really think of them in a light-hearted way!
Here’s how to play The Couples Roast:
- The hosts will write different scenarios that the bride and groom may end up in on pieces of paper and put them in a hat.
- The guests will partner up in pairs of two.
- Each pair will draw from the hat and act out the scenario. The twist comes with the guests acting as if they were the soon-to-be wedded couple.
For example, a guest draws “Finding a spot to eat for dinner”. That guest and their partner then act out the scene as the couple. All while trying to perfect the couple’s mannerisms. No one knows the couple better than themselves, so they’ll be the judge of who gets to win! This is one of the best games to play at a couples shower.
Two Truths and a Lie
Two Truths and a Lie is a fantastic game that tests how well your guests know you and your partner. The game’s essence is in guessing which statement is a lie among three statements given by the couple about their relationship.
Here’s how to play Two Truths and a Lie:
- Both the bride and groom should come up with three statements about their relationship: two true ones and one false. This could include funny stories, romantic moments, or any unusual incidents.
- During the shower, the couple will share their three statements with the guests. The guests then must determine which one is the lie.
- The person who correctly guesses the lie gets a point, and the guest with the most points by the end of the game wins!
This game sparks delightful conversations and brings the guests closer to the couple, providing everyone with heartfelt and hilarious memories.
This game keeps your guests engaged throughout the party and adds an element of suspense and excitement to the proceedings.
