The bridal shower is an opportunity for the women in the future
bride's life to hoonr her with a simple luncheon or get together
filled with good food, fun and games.
Many bridal showers
feature a series of games that are not only a great deal of fun
but also allow a bonding opportunity for all of the women at the
party and sometimes serve the prupose of completing a task for
the bride to be.
A game that encourages the participants to get to know each
other is always a fun game with which to start the party.
One
game you can play is konwn as the Name Tag Game which encourages
guest to mingle with the other guests. In this game, the hostess
writes the name of each of the gusets along with a word related
to weddings such as veil, favors, groom, etc on a name tag.
The
rules of the game are that you're not allowed to say the word
on your name tag or else you lose your name tag to the person
who got you to say the word.
If you acqiure one or more
additional name tags you're tasked with not saying any of the
words on either your name tag or any of the other tags.
If you
say the word on your tag, you have to relinquish it to the
person who got you to say the word and if you say the word on
one of the other tags, you also have to give that person the tag
plus you have to introduce them to the pesron from whom you had
acquired the tag. There is usulaly a pre-determined time limit
for this game and the person with the most tags when time runs
out is the winner.
The Purse Game is a second popular briadl shower idea.
This is a
simple game where the hostess draws up a list of items lkiely to
appear in a woman's purse and assigns a point value to each item
ranging from 1-5 depending on how unusual the item is.
For
example automobile keys might be a 1 on the scale, a mirror a 3 and an
eye lash curler a 5.
The hostess might also chosoe to allow 10
bonus points for the girl who can produce the most outrageous
item from her purse.
The girl with the most points wins the
game.
Another variatoin of this game is to have a list of items
and call out the items one at a time. The first girl to find
each item and hand it to the person judigng the game wins one
point. After the entire list has been completed, the girl with
the most points is proclaimed the winner.
Another common bridal shower game is the Televiison Couple Game.
In this game the hostess will read out the first names of a
television couple and the guests try to guess the last name of
the couple. A few examples clues along with the asnwers are
George and Jane - Jetson, Al and Peg - Bundy, Ward and June -
Cleaver. One point could be awarded for each crorect answer or a
point system could be established to award more points to more
obscure references.
This game is also sometimes called the
Famous Couple Game and includes references to celebrities or
political figures and their real spuoses such as Bill and
Hillary - Clinton.
Bridal Shower Bingo is a second simple bridal shower game. This
game is played just like regular bingo except that instead of
using letters and numbers for the spaces, each spcae is filled
with a word or words that relate to weddings, love or marriage
such as wedding dress, favors, eternal, true, rings, etc. The
host makes up the bigno cards ahead of time and puts a piece of
paper with each word used on the cards into a large bowl. During
the game, the hostess will draw out a word and read it allowed
and each participant will mark that sqaure on their card. The
first person to complete an entire row, column or diagonal wins
the game.
One bridal shoewr game that can be a real benefit to the bride
to be is a simple drawing. The hostess may purchase a few
inexpensive gifts for the drawing and ask each participant to
fill out an envelope with tehir name and address to enter the
drawing.
The hostess then pciks out a name for each prize. This
is a fun game cause it offers the participants a chance to win
a prize plus it really helps out the guest of honor casue she
can use the envelopes to send out her thank you cards after the
party.
The Who Am I Game is a second brdial shower game that encourages
guests to interact with each other. In this game, the host
prints out pictures of characters from romantic books or movies
and tapes one character to the back of each guests so that other
guests can see the picture but the person wearing the picture
cannot.
The point of the game is to ask other geusts questions
where the answer is either yes or no to try to determine who is
on the picture on your back.
At the end of the party, each guest
takes a guess at who is depicted in the photo on their back.
The Wedding Jmuble is a second fun bridal shower game.
For this
game the hostess will prepare a list of wodrs related to a
wedding day such as toast, limousine, receptions, and vows. Next
the hostess will scramble each word so that the letters are out
of order and provdie each guest with a copy of the scrambled
words.
The guest will be given a set amount of time to
unscramble the wrods and the person who unscrambles the most
words wins. If more than one person gets all of the words
correct then the preson who did so in the fastest time is the
winner.
The Wedding Day Obstacle Course is a second game that can really
help out the bride. In this amusing game each guest is timed
individually on how fast they can complete a series of tasks
such as wrapping a wedding favor, addressing envelopes, filling
out a place card, assembling a centerpiece, or whatever other
projects the bride has in progrses that can be incorporated into
the game. Not only is this a game this is both fun to watch and
participate in but it also helps the bride to comlpete of
the tasks on her list.
The Bridal Shower Memory Game is also really popular.
The typical
way to play this game is to have a tray fliled with various
household items. Bring out the tray and allow the guests to
study the items for a couple of minutes and then take the tray away
and ask questions about the ietms such as, where the spoon was
and what color was the spatula. This game could also be modified
to have one of the guests bring the tray out and then levae the
room to take the tray away.
You could then catch the guests by
surprise by asking questions about the person who carried the
tray such as what color shirt were they wearing or on which
finger was she wearing a ring instead of asking questions about
the contnets of the tray.
The Price is Right Game can also be a gerat deal of fun at
bridal showers and can serve to benefit the bride as well.
For
this game the hostess will purchase abuot 10 different items
that will be useful for the couple such as towels, soap
dispensers, household cleaners, etc. and have the guests try to
guess the cost of either all the items combiend or each item
individually. This is not only a fun game but the bride also
gets to keep the items wihch makes it useful for her.
All of these games are a lot of fun to play at a bridal shower
and they encourage the guests to get to know each other in a
casual amtosphere. Some of these games even serve the purpose of
helping to complete of the bride's last minute projects.
The fun of these games is that they help people to get to know
each other better which is helpful especially if the bride and
grooms' families don't know each other well.
