Jenga™ Submitted by: A. R. of Seattle, Washington Take an ordinary Jenga™ game and write on the blocks. We sat around the table where the Jenga™ blocks were stacked up and each person took his turn pulling out a block. We did this for a couples shower and personalized the questions to roast the couple as well as each guest in attendance (just a little). We also wrote some cute ones like: tell us your engagement story, what is your "old, new, borrowed, and blue?", bride & Groom have to kiss, tell us about meeting the parents for the first time. There were also "get-to-know-you" questions for the rest of the party. When the blocks fell, the person who pulled the last block got a little gift. We did three rounds. It was a riot! We adjusted this same game as a drinking game for a bachelorette party.

What's in the Bag for Me? Submitted by: H. W. of Florissant, Missouri You will need several brown paper bags. Place in each paper bag, items that the bride/Groom can use around the house such as a can opener, light bulb, wrench, roll of toilet paper, flashlight, etc. (use your imagination !!!). Starting with number 1, place a number on each bag and staple/tape each bag closed. Place all the paper bags in a large container - be careful of breakable items. Give each guest a sheet of paper and a pen to write down their answer. With all the guests seated in a circle, pass the first bag around with each guest having 10 seconds to feel the bag and to guess what's inside. The guest then writes down on paper the number of the bag alongside their answer. The bride then opens each bag to reveal its contents. The person with the most number of correct answers is the winner. IT'S FUN !!!!!!!!

The Yarn Game Submitted by: M. S. of Mosinee, Wisconsin This is a game that has been played at every single wedding/baby shower that I've attended! It's a great game to "break the ice" and let people get to know each other! It starts with the host having a ball of yarn. The host goes around to each guest and has them cut off a piece of yarn of any length. Keep in mind that the guests are not to know what the yarn is to be used for. After everyone has a piece of yarn - the host explains the game. Go around the room to every guest. They must talk about themselves while they wrap the yarn around their finger. They can tell everyone about herself or memories she has with the bride. To begin, my personal suggestion for this game is to make every guest tell her name and how she knows the bride. The guests that cut really long pieces of yarn will have a lot of talking to do!

Questions Submitted by: T. S. of Newbury Park, California One of the shower hosts needs to devise a list of questions to ask the Groom. After the host interviews the Groom and records his responses, the bride is interviewed at the shower. She is asked the same questions and must answer with the response she thinks her fianceé gave. Prior to the bride's responses, each guest at the shower must guess how many questions the bride will answer correctly. The guest who guesses correctly, or has the closest guess, wins a prize.

Quilt Submitted by: K. O. of Phippsburg, Maine Quilt tying activity: A basic throw is stitched together by an adept family member or friend. At the shower, all the guests tie it off. The bride and Groom now have a gift that everyone had a hand in creating and which will serve as a cherished and useful gift.

Gum Submitted by: Tara of Mount Laurel, New Jersey Ask the fiancé questions before the shower. At the bridal shower, the bride answers each of the same questions. For every question she gets wrong she must put a piece of gum in her mouth (or a gumball). It's hilarious!

White Elephant Submitted by: J. C. of Midlothian This is a game we played at my bridal shower. Each guest drew a card with a number on it. Then the person with card #1 opened prize #1. The person with card #2 opened prize #2. That person, then, either kept her prize or took #1's prize. Then guest with card #3 either kept her prize or switched it with #1 or #2. We continued until the last guest picked a prize. Then, the person who had card #1 got to pick from all of the prizes or kept what she had. We put in one gag gift and one gift that everyone would want. It made it interesting and a lot of fun. It's a nice game because everyone pays attention to what other guests are getting since they might want to take it for themselves and every guest leaves with a little something!

Memory Game Submitted by: L. D. of Altoona, Indiana At my shower, my aunt told everyone that we were going to play a memory game. I walked around the room with a baking sheet that had kitchen items on it. Everyone thought they were going to have to list the items, but my aunt had me leave the room and told everyone to list what I was wearing! It was hard for everyone to remember, especially since they thought they were going to be listing the items on the pan! The person with the closest match won a prize and we got a good laugh out of seeing everyone's lists. The guests and I then had to list everything on the pan, which was hard because it had been about 10-15 minutes since we had seen the items!

Clothespin Version #2 Submitted by: Pamela of Rochester, Indiana At one of my dear friends weddings, we played a word game. The hostesses had a list of words pertaining to the wedding such as honeymoon, pretty, marriage, wedding, reception, etc. Then, they gave each of us a clothespin to pin anywhere on our clothing. During the course of the shower, whoever used any of the mentioned words lost their clothespin! The guest who collected the most clothespins at the end of the shower won a prize! Needless to say, I won the game and got a great prize. I plan on using this game at my wedding shower!

Clothespin Version #3 Submitted by: Denise As guest arrive at the shower give each guest a clothespin to wear on their shirt. Once they receive it that can't say the bride's first name. If you hear someone say her name you grab her clothespin. You can collect as may as possible, but once you lose them you can't play anymore. When it's time for the bride to open her gifts the one with the most clothespins gets the door prize. Remember once you lose your clothespin you are out of the game. This is a very fun game.

Potato Game Submitted by: Anna of San Francisco You need a jar and a medium-size potato. Place the jar on the floor. Then, have the bride or guest put the potato between her knees, hobble across the room to the jar, stand above the jar and try to drop it in (no hands!). A prize to those who can drop the potato in the jar.

Here Come the Brides Submitted by: JoAnn C. of Vernon Hills When you send the shower invitations, ask each guest to bring a picture from her wedding day. As each guest arrives, take her picture into another room and carefully tape it on a large poster board with the heading "Here Come the Brides" and number each picture. During the shower, have the guests examine the board and try to match each "bride" with a person in the room. Towards the end of the shower have the guests reveal which bride they are on the poster board. This was a lot of fun both at showers where no one really knew each other and at showers where we've known each other for years. It's also fun if the brides tell a funny story about what happened at their wedding.

Feel the Stripper Submitted by: Alyssa B. of Orlando, Florida A game that I am going to play is feel the stripper! We are going to invite a male stripper and whoever touches him the most in the right places wins!

Bridal Fashion Show Submitted by: Iris K. of Brockville, Ontario, Canada Before the shower, I asked family members and friends if they had their wedding gown or bridesmaid gown in the back of their closet. At the bridal shower, we had a bridal fashion show in which each daughter modelled her mother's gown. It was a hit! I announced each model as follows, "Worn in the fall of '83 (mine), this gown was chosen to resemble Princess Diana with a high collar and plenty of frill." Other styles of gowns that were showcased included victorian, winter, sophisticated, etc... Before the model left the room, I revealed to the guests the name of the bride that originally wore the gown.

What Was on the Apron? Submitted by: Iris K. of Brockville, Ontario, Canada Sew various items onto an apron. Have the bride-to-be wear the apron as she opens her gifts. After she is done opening gifts, have the bride-to-be leave the room. At this time, give each guest a piece of paper and pen and have her write down as many items as she can that she saw on the apron. The guest who writes down the most correct items wins a prize!
