Wedding shower games provide a way for the bridal party to interact prior to the wedding ceremony. Shower games are fun because they let the bridal party learn about the participants as individuals. When selecting games, pick those that involve all attendees so that no one is left out. And select games that are appropriate for the type of people attending the wedding shower. Does this Spark an idea?
Icebreaker
Arrange the wedding shower group for this game. Have guests introduce themselves to the wedding shower group. Instruct them to state three things about themselves, with two of the statements being true and one being false. The rest of the guests should try to guess the falsehood.
Card Game
Print some bridal bingo cards. (See Resources.) Instead of getting bingo, the goal of the game is to match the words on the bridal bingo cards to the ones being called out by the announcer. The announcer has a list of the available words in a dish or a hat. As the announcer says the word, the party participants mark the matching word off of their card. The first one to get five words vertically, horizontally or corner to corner wins.
Guess Who
Collect some photos of famous people or write the names of these people on some tape. Pin or tape them to the wedding party's backs. Each guest tries to guess the name of the person on their back. They can ask questions to help get the answer. Some questions may be, "Am I male or female?" Try to use names that are related to the theme of the bridal shower and someone the guests will know.
Make Wedding Dress
Have the guests create a wedding dress out of toilet paper. Give them a limit of one roll. To make the game more competitive, separate the groups into different rooms. When the dress is complete, each group has one person model and explain the wedding dress concept. Let the bride determine the winner.
