Buy a scrap book and use a Polaroid camera or digital camera. As guests arrive (as well as during the shower) the guests get their picture taken with the bride to be and place it in the scrap book with a place for the guest to sign their name. The pictures are a documentary that shows who was there as well as the fun you all had. The bride will really love the idea of nice memories of her shower. With the rest of the pages in the scrap book, we filled them with pic's of the shower games, and the fun time that we had.Free Bridal Shower Games Trivia Game
Have a combined party for all of the wedding attendants. The best way to do it was to pass out sort of a multiple choice (or multiple guess for those who don't know much) test to see how well they knew the bride and groom and their relationship. The person (or couple) with the most questions right wins a prize like movie passes. Some good questions were "Where did they eat at during our first date", "What weird thing happened during their second date at his house" (in one couple's case, no one got that one right...the answer was that his goat started giving birth).Bridal Rage
Sent in by Teresa Williams. The bride blind folds all of her guests. The bride will make several noises such as snapping her fingers, tap dancing, letting the air out of a balloon, popping a piece of bubble wrap, drumming pots, or any strange noise...as quickly as she can. The guest can give their answers one at a time. The guest who identifies the most sounds wins the prize. The guests only have 5 seconds, one chance for each for guessing, and there is to be no blurting out!Party Crasher (Sent in by Lisa Leigh)
I had a friend of mine, whom the bride didn't know come with her daughter. They walked in (nobody knew her) and put her gift on the table then sat down. The bride-to-be's Mom (who is my sister) started talking to her trying to find out who she was. Then everybody was kind of asking her who she was related to, etc. I just sat back and acted like I didn't know who she was and not saying much, because I didn't want to laugh. Well, we went around the room and everybody said who they were and who they were related to, such as cousin to the bride, aunt of the groom, etc. When it came to my friend, she said, "You know, I think I'm at the wrong shower" She acted like she was all flustered, went to stand up and dumped her purse all over the floor. Of course everybody tried to help her and we all felt terrible and embarrassed for her. So I helped her to the door and thanked her and walked back into the room where everybody was talking and whispering. I said, "OK, that was my friend Sharlene, and it was all staged. Everybody write down what she had dumped out in her purse". She had duct tape, a beanie baby, lots of weird stuff. We are still laughing about it.Ice Breaker
This isn't really a game, but it is a good wedding shower ice breaker. Go around the room and have each guest spend no longer than 30 seconds telling everyone who they are and how they know the bride & groom. This will loosen everyone up for the games.Charades
This is one of the most popular bridal shower games. The guests separate into 2 groups and write down titles of movies, shows, or famous people. Each team then selects a person to act out the charade and they draw from the opposing teams list of titles. From here, we all know how charades work, so your team members must guess what the title was as the appointed team member silently acts out the clues. You can also do it Pictionary style, which is fun too."Who Am I?" Bridal Shower Game
This is very popular ice breaker wedding shower game. Prepare index cards with the names of famous people written on them. When guests arrive, attach a card to each guest's back so that the guest cannot see who the name is, but everyone else can. Each guest must then ask the other guests for clues to the identity of the famous person whose name is taped to their back. To prevent cheating from clever guests trying to read it in a mirror, place a 2nd index card over the title to hide it.The Toilet Paper Bridal Shower Game
Break everyone up into even groups, someone picks a bride out of each group and they make her a bride out of toilet paper. The bride picks the one she likes the best.Pre-Addressed Envelope Door Prize Game
As guests arrive they are handed an envelope and asked to write their address on it, then it's put in a basket. One envelope is drawn, and the winning guest receives a prize. Then the envelopes (already addressed) along with the thank you cards were given to the mother, making it very easy to send.What's The Bride Wearing Game
Gather the guests and give them a pen and paper. Tell the bride to leave the room and have the each guest write down everything the bride is wearing. After a preset time, you can bring the bride back in and whoever has the closest description wins the prizeThe Clothespin Game
There are many variations of this game. The host buys a bag of colorful clothespins. Each guest receives one when the arrive. During the game the guests are forbidden from saying a particular word. Some variations prevent you from mentioning the groom's name, some prevent you from saying the word "No". If another guest catches you saying the forbidden word during the game, they get your clothespin. The wedding shower guest with the most clothespins at the end of the game wins the prize.The Alphabet Game (from The Complete Book Of Wedding Showers)
The host starts with a sentence using the letter "A" to describe a food. In the sentence she describes that she went to a friend's house and she served artichokes. The next guest must repeat this sentence and add another item of food at the end of the sentence, and it starts with the letter "B". The next guest does the same thing and adds a food starting with the letter "C". Anyone unable to add a food must drop out of the game. The person who stays alive the longest wins the prize."Dress The Bride" Game
Take rolls of toilet paper and you have to make a wedding dress in under 5 minutes. Divided into groups of three with one bride and two bridesmaids. A more environmentally conscious alternative would be to take bed sheets and other fabric scraps and make the wedding gowns this way! We borrowed this idea from Beverly Hills 90210!Catch The Bridal Bouquet Game
We also played catch the bouquet where we pinned paper flowers to a dart board. The girls had three chances to hit the flower with a dart, and the closest one wins the game.Bridal Pictionary
Think of wedding words like 'mother in law" "garter toss" "flower girl" "ring bearer" "first Dance", etc.Bridal Scrabble
Use about 20 words (could be less) that have something to do with "wedding". The words are scrambled and everyone has 10 minutes to unscramble them. The person who unscrambles the most wins the prize. Some examples of words: bride, groom, bridesmaid, maid of honor, limousine, garter, tuxedo, flower girl, rings, shower, honeymoon, church, reception.A few more ideas for bridal showers
