If you’re planning a bridal shower for someone (or you’re a bride trying to hint at some ideas) you might be looking for some bridal shower games to play! There are so many games you COULD play, but let’s be honest, most of them are pretty boring. Not to mention, you have to come up with games that are fun for everyone and you’re going to have a pretty diverse crowd. In this blog we’ll go over some of the most fun bridal shower games that you can play at a bridal shower.
Cocktail Contest
This game almost gets better as you go! What you’ll do is provide different ingredients for a variety of cocktails and have everyone try to make a cocktail of their own. The bride will then try all of the cocktails. Whichever cocktail wins the contests can be served at the wedding. That is, as long as it’s approved by the bride! Even if they all fail you’ll still have fun attempting to make things work!
Vow-Libs
This game allows you to add your own words to the bride’s vows! You’ll take the bride’s vows and erase about 10-15 words and replace them with a space. Each member of the bridal party selects nouns, verbs, etc. just like a mad-lib! The bride will then read her vows out loud using the replaced words. When that is done, the group will vote for their favorite. This is a great game to add some laughs. If you want to make it even more fun we recommend playing this AFTER the cocktail contest!
Toilet Paper Dress
This is an old one! Toilet paper dress divides the party into four or five teams. Each team then spends time putting a toilet paper dress on one of their participants. In the end, each dress will be put on display. Each person votes for their favorite dress and whoever gets the most votes wins. This game is pretty simple and an absolute classic but it’s a blast to play!
Newlywed Game
The newlywed game is considered a staple of bridal shower games. You’ll split the bridesmaids into two teams and the bride can be the host and ask questions about the couple. If you want to really make this game pop you can spin some game show style to it! The ending is as simple as the game. Whoever comes out on top with the most points is the winner. Even though this game is played at almost every bridal shower, it’s still a great game that everybody invited can enjoy. There’s a reason it’s played so often!
Who Said It
This is a great guessing game for all of your guests! Guests will ask the couple questions about themselves. Questions can range from how they met, what they love most about each other, and how their first date went. The answers will be given to the group and everyone will have to guess who’s answer it was. This is a fun way to allow your guests to get to know you AND your future spouse! This is somewhat similar to the newlywed game but with a bit of a fun twist! You can play this game as teams or individually. However, it depends on how big the shower is when determining the best way to play.
Wedding Movie Charades
This game is a super fun way to reference all of your favorite wedding movies! Whether it’s Big Fat Greek Wedding, Palm Springs, or Wedding Crashers, you can show off how well you know wedding movies. The premise is extremely simple. To start, you’ll divide into two teams and each team will have a time limit to act out a wedding film. Whichever team ends up with the most correct guesses after each person has a chance to act wins. There should be a scorekeeper to make sure that the movies are classified as wedding movies and not just a movie with a wedding somewhere in them. The scorekeeper can also ensure everyone’s playing by the rules.
