Wedding Shower Games
What's In Your Purse
Before hand, have the host of the bridal shower make up a list of items that any women would have in her purse. Such as lip stick, cell phone, pens, pictures of family, cheque book, mascara etc.
Assign each item a point value. The person with the most points wins the game.
Example:
Lipstick 1pt
Cell Phone 1pt
Pen 1pt
Picture of Family 1pt
Picture of Pets 2pts
Cheque Book 2pts
Mascara 1pt
Dental Floss 2pts
Aspirin 2pts
Clothes Pin Game
Each visitor is given a clothespin upon arrival to shower. They are told of two words they can not mention (i.e. "wedding", and the groom's name). If they do, they lose their clothespin(s) to the one who caught them mentioning the forbidden words. The one who has the most clothespins at the end of the day, wins the prize!
Famous Television Couples
Write down the last names of atleast 15 famous television couples, and your friends and family have to put in the first names. Give guests only about 5 minutes to guess the names. Then read the first names and the television show that they were from. Whoever gets the most wins the game.
Bingo Bride
Make 'Bingo Cards' with 25 empty spaces (5 across, 5 down - repeat gifts as necessary).
Have guests write in the gifts that they think the bride-to-be will receive at her shower. As she opens her presents, mark off any of the presents written down.
As soon as someone has "5 in a row," shout "BINGO!"
Design My Dress!
In groups of three, one person is the model and the other two are the designers. They design a dress that they think the bride would like. When everyone is done, the bride picks the one she likes best and that group is the winner. Depending on how many people are at the shower, you can show them to the bride in a fashion show style.
Memory Game
Prior to the shower guests arrival, pin as many newly purchased kitchen/cooking utensils/gadgets (ie: measuring spoons, can opener, small spatula, potato peeler, garlic press) that will fit onto an apron (with bib or vest, front & back). Have the bride wear the apron (with bib) and let the guests view it for 2-3min's. Have the bride remove the apron &/or retreat to another location. Give the guests a pencil/pen & paper & the person who recalls the most items correctly wins.The newly purchased items on the apron then become a gift to the bride!
Petals of Advice
Cut construction paper into small heart shapes and attach pipe cleaner. Hand all of the guests a heart with a pen and ask them to write advice for the bride example: "never go to bed together mad". Place completed hearts in a vase and ask the bride to read them out loud. Great keepsake!
