Bridal Shower Games <<Previous Page     Next Page >> [ Submit a Game | Showers Index ]

"Teddy" in a Box Submitted by: A. S. of Seattle, Washington This game is a variation of the "Hot Potato" game. Give out the impression that the box contains a "teddy." Whomever holds the box when the music stops must open the box in the back room and then model the "teddy" for all to see. The "teddy" is actually a small stuffed teddy bear that the winner gets to keep!

What's in the Box Submitted by: M. B-M. of Manila, Philippines The bride is blindfolded and is handed a box. She opens the box and tries to guess what's inside it by touching/smelling the object. She will guess at least 4 different objects (be sure to prepare things she can use on her wedding night). After she guesses all the objects, her blindfold is removed and each object is revealed. This is quite hilarious because, most of the time, the bride can't guess an object correctly.

I'm Ready, Honey! Submitted by: M. B-M. of Manila, Philippines You will need 2 groups with 4 members each, a set of lingerie (bra, panty, night gown and slippers), and 2 poles or chairs where the players will walk around. The first player will wear the lingerie (over her own clothes, of course). As she walks (not runs) around the pole/chair she removes the lingerie and "tags" the next player and so on and so forth. The group that finishes first (all fOur Story members have worn and removed the lingerie) wins.

Picture of the Groom Submitted by: Stephany of Barry's Bay, Ontario Give each of the guests a piece of paper and pen/pencil. Tell them to put the piece of paper on their head and that they have to draw a picture of the Groom in his underwear. The bride-to-be picks the drawing that she likes the best and the artist gets a prize. I played this at one shower and it was great fun to see the results. Also, the pictures taken of the guests writing on their head makes for great blackmail shots!!

Roll the Orange Submitted by: R. Thorne of Kamloops You need a pair of pantyhose and 2 oranges. Put one orange on the floor and the other in one leg of the pantyhose. Tie the other leg (of the pantyhose) around your waist. The object is for you to swing your hips and hit the orange (that you placed on the floor) across a designated area in the best time. You could also have 2 teams and have a relay.

Commercial Jingles Submitted by: R. Thorne of Kamloops Get about 10 commercial jingles before the party. Have each person write down their answers on a piece of paper. The one with the most correct jingles wins. Some examples: "Bleach for the unbleachables (Javex)" and "The Real thing (Coke)."

Brand Name Submitted by: L. H. of Dallas, Texas Cut out 12 - 15 pictures of grocery/cleaning/drug items out of a grocery sale paper or magazine. Paste them onto index cards and take a black marker to mark through the brand name. Then number the cards. Pass numbered sheets of paper out to each guest and then pass the cards around the room, letting everyone look at the brand and write down the brand name. The person with the most correct brand names wins!

Pin Search Submitted by: L. H. of Dallas, Texas Dump a bag of uncooked white rice into a bowl. Insert about ten normal-sized safety pins and go around the room to each person. Hold the bowl up high enough so that the person cannot see inside and give them 30 seconds to pull out as many safety pins as possible. The person who pulls out the most pins wins! Believe me, the game is much harder than it seems and is a lot of fun!

Treasure Hunt Submitted by: M. D. of Wheaton, Maryland The object of the game is to find the buried treasure in a bowl of cooked oatmeal. However, the bowl is to be place above the player's head so the player will not know what is inside the bowl. Then, each player is given ten to thirty seconds (ten is for an advance player and thirty is for a beginner) to "fish" for the treasure. Gloves can be used for this game but to make the game more exciting gloves shouldn't be used.

Canned Goods w/o the Labels Submitted by: The Maid-of-Honor in Van Wert A great game for everyone is to have each guest bring a canned good to the shower. Prior to the shower, have the Groom answer a set of questions that pertain to the bride (her favorite color, where they first met, what she was wearing on their first date). After getting his answers, have the guests ask the bride the questions at the shower. If her answers aren't compatible to the Groom's, rip the label off the canned good that the guest brought. At the end of the shower the bride has about a dozen canned goods with no labels. We played this game and the bride told me later that they ate green beans and peaches together for a lot of meals.

Thank You Cards Submitted by: J. P. of Hawthorne, New Jersey At my bridal shower, my sister had everyone write their name and address on an envelope she supplied to all the guests. After I opened my gifts, I went around to all the tables to say "thank you" at which time my sister collected the envelopes from the table I was visiting. From the 8 -10 envelopes, she fanned them out like a hand of cards and told me to pick one. Whosoever card I picked "won" the centerpiece of flowers on the table. Also, the envelopes were from a package of "Thank You" cards, which were already addressed for me to use! What a big help!

Questions for the Bride Submitted by: J. K. of Calgary, Alberta This shower game can be used for a bridal or couple's shower. If it is for a bridal shower then the maid-of-honor should call the Groom before the shower and ask him all sorts of questions about the bride. Questions like "What was her very first pet?", "Who was her first kiss?", and "What high school did she go to?" At the shower everyone has an opportunity, including the bride to answer the questions. Whoever gets the most questions correct wins. It's fun to also read the answers the Groom gave and see how close they were.

Visual Story Submitted by: Tanya of Calgary, Alberta One of the bridesmaids creates a visual story using the bride and her fiance as a theme. The story should be about ten sentences long and each sentence should contain a subject which can be easily drawn. Be sure to use really descriptive action-related words that could be drawn out as the story is read. Each guest is instructed to draw the images that the story relays on a piece of paper. The only catch is that they must draw the story on the top of their head. Take your time and read the story slowly so that each guest has time to draw. After you are finished gather all the pictures and judge which picture most resembles the story. This make for some hilarious and funny pictures and is a great keepsake for the bride's album.

Pin the Veil on the Bride Submitted by: P. Carpio of Blue Island, Illinois Play pin the veil on the bride. Just like pin the tail on the donkey. You can draw a profile of a bride and make a pretty veil. All the guests get a turn and the closest one gets a prize. We had a great time changing the position of the "bride" (put her upside down) while the guests were blind folded.

Who Am I? Submitted by: S. C. of Tacoma, Washington Each guest is sent a 3x5 card with their invitation. The guest is to type out a memory they have with the bride. They do NOT include their name. Then, at the shower the bride reads the cards and has to guess who wrote down that memory. It is a great game because it gives the bride a stack of memories and also allows "strangers" at the shower to get to know how others know the bride.
