Everyone loves a bridal shower, especially when there are fun games involved. I’m helping my friend think of game ideas for her sister’s bridal shower that will take place in a few months. As we are brainstorming for some bridal shower games we are realizing how tough it is to be unique and creative and not fall into “traditional” games. They are still great to play but have your guests get involved in some more “outside the box” games.
On average the Bridal Shower should occur 4-6 weeks prior to the actual wedding, and can range from close family and friends, to a “couple” theme where the bride and groom to be, are both present. Try sending out bridal shower invitations a few months in advance so guests can clear their calendars and have enough time to find a great bridal shower gift!
A great bridal shower game to break the ice with is the “safety pin” game. Every guest is given 10 safety pins with ribbons on them (usually the ribbons are the theme colors of the wedding), then every time you catch someone saying the word “wedding” or any wedding themed word, they have to give you there safety pin. The bridal shower guest that collects the most safety pins by the end of the bridal shower wins a prize (gift card, etc.). Usually the prize should be different from the bridal shower favors.
Keep it simple. Just because you are trying to be unique and think outside the box doesn’t mean you have to get extravagant on your bridal shower game ideas. My friend and I thought of a great bridal shower game where the guests are split into teams of five to six people depending on the size of your bridal shower, smaller parties can be groups of 2-3. Each team is given one roll of tape and five rolls of toilet paper. Then the teams have five minutes to create a “wedding dress” for the bride. The bride then picks the dress she likes the most and that team wins (Starbucks gift cards are always a great idea)!
